Peyronie's Disease: CCH Injections Not Appropriate For All Men
Men with Peyronie's disease have several treatment options available, including traction devices to surgery.
Over the years, injections of a substance called clostridium histolyticum (CCH) have become more popular.
However, not all men respond well to this therapy, according to new research in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
The study involved with 67 men with Peyronie's disease who had received CCH injections before coming to the researchers' clinic. All of the men were having sexual difficulties. Almost half eventually had surgery.
The researchers discovered that CCH didn't appear as effective for men with severe penile curvature or deformities.

Less is Known About Sexual Satisfaction After Prostate Cancer
Sexual problems are common after prostate cancer treatment, with many men experiencing trouble with erections, desire, and orgasm.
A less-studied issue is sexual satisfaction. To learn more, researchers studied 38 medical papers on the subject and reported their findings in Sexual Medicine Reviews.
Of those studies, only 4 focused specifically on sexual satisfaction. Others examined satisfaction in the context of other dysfunctions.
Overall, results were mixed. Outcomes depended on study methods, participant age, and stage of cancer. Psychological and relationship factors also played roles.
