Treatment of Penile Curvature

🧬 When Should You Seek Treatment?

Consulting a specialist like Dr. Ahmed Al-Kandari is recommended if:

• The curvature causes pain during erection.

• The bend makes sexual intercourse difficult or impossible.

• You feel a hard lump or plaque under the skin (in Peyronie’s cases).

• The condition causes significant psychological distress or performance anxiety.

🩺 Diagnosis and Evaluation

Our approach involves a precise diagnostic process to determine the best treatment plan:

• Clinical Examination: To assess the degree of curvature and locate the fibrous tissue.

• Penile Doppler Ultrasound: To measure blood flow and the exact angle of curvature during an induced erection.

• Medical History: Determining if the condition is in the “acute” (changing) phase or “stable” phase.

💊 Available Treatment Options

Treatment choice depends on the severity of the curve and the stability of the condition:

1. Non-Surgical Treatments (For Mild or Early Stages)

• Medications: Used in the early stages of Peyronie’s disease to reduce inflammation and pain.

• Intralesional Injections: Injecting specialized substances into the plaque to break down the fibrous tissue and reduce the bend.

• Traction Devices: Mechanical devices designed to gradually stretch the tissue and reduce curvature over time.

2. Surgical Solutions (The Gold Standard for Final Correction)

Surgery is often the most effective and permanent solution for significant curvature:

• Plication Surgery: Shortening the longer side of the penis to match the shorter side. This is ideal for mild to moderate curves.

• Grafting Surgery: Removing the fibrous plaque and replacing it with a tissue graft. This is used for more severe or complex curvatures.

• Penile Implants: A specialized option if the curvature is accompanied by severe Erectile Dysfunction. The implant corrects the straightness and restores erectile function simultaneously.
