Survey Focuses on Injections for Peyronie's Disease

In a recent survey, 100 members of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) shared their experiences with intralesional injections of collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) for treatment of Peyronie's disease. 

While these injections are an effective treatment, they can have side effects, including corporal rupture (penis fracture) and hematoma formation (blood accumulation under the skin).  

The respondents were all prescribers of CCH. They answered questions about incidence and management of side effects in their practice. 

Ninety-four percent of the respondents reported hematomas in less than 25% of their patients. To prevent hematoma formation, just over half of the respondents had patients stop taking antiplatelets and anticoagulants before injections. 

About 34% of the clinicians had had a patient with a corporal rupture. Of those, about two-thirds managed the ruptures surgically. 

The study was published last month in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Please click here to learn more about the survey.
