&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A person can develop Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s Disease, or induration penis plastica, when plaque or scar is formed in the penile shaft causing the penis to curve or bend abnormally. The abnormal curvature is more apparent when the penis is erected.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the causes of Peyronie&#39;s Disease?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s Disease is a wound-healing disorder. This means the penis may have suffered an injury at some point before symptoms occurred.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The exact cause of Peyronie&#39;s Disease is not known, but it is believed that it may be the result of acute or chronic injury to the penis or autoimmune disease. An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the sign and symptoms of Peyronie&#39;s disease?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The sign and symptoms may appear quickly or develop gradually over time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The sign and symptoms of Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease may include&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Having an abnormally bent/curved penis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Hard lumps on one or more sides of the penis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Having a painful erection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li3&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s3&quot; style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com/erectile-dysfunction&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Having a soft erection or erectile dysfunction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Having trouble with sex because of a bent/curved penis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How Do I Know if I Have Peyronie&#39;s Disease?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Your doctor will diagnose you based on your medical history and physical exam. Your doctor may order imaging tests, such as ultrasound to gather more information about the plaque.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The most noticeable symptom of Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease is a curved erection. Some men experience pain during erections, especially in the early stages of the condition. Other symptoms can include erectile dysfunction, difficulty with penetration, lumps or hard areas under the skin of the penis, and changes in penile shape or length. Symptoms may develop gradually or appear suddenly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the Complications of Peyronie&#39;s Disease?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In most cases, it is unlikely that Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease will correct itself. Less than 15% of men with Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease report a recovery without medical intervention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The complication of Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease may include the inability to have sexual intercourse due to the abnormal penile curvature. Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease may lead to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/erectile-dysfunction&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;Erectile dysfunction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Emotional distress, depression, or anxiety about sexual abilities. Stress in a relationship with your sexual partners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the Treatments Available for Peyronie&#39;s Disease?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The treatments for Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s Disease are classified into non-surgical therapies or surgery.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Non-surgical therapies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;There are several less invasive medical options to treat Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;ul1&quot;&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Stem cell treatment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Oral medication&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Intralesional therapy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li class=&quot;li3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s3&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/shockwave-therapy&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;s4&quot;&gt;Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The current literature of stem cell treatment for Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease only shows good evidence with the use of oral medication or intralesional therapy (treatment injected directly into the wound).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) delivers shockwaves into the plaque and breaks it down. It is same as the technology used to break up kidney stones. This treatment is painless. It has no downtime, and it is non-invasive. Each ESWT session lasts for about 15 &amp;ndash; 20 mins. The patient commonly needs 6 &amp;ndash; 12 treatment sessions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Surgery&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The surgery for Peyronie&#39;s Disease is to remove plaque or help straighten the penis during an erection. Surgery may be recommended for men who have Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease when symptoms have not improved, erections or intercourse, or both, are painful, and the curve in the penis prevents sexual intercourse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAQ About&amp;nbsp;Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s Disease&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;Is Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease a permanent condition?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While some mild cases may stabilize or improve, many cases necessitate treatment to manage symptoms and reduce curvature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;Can Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease lead to erectile dysfunction?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yes, scar tissue and reduced blood flow can contribute to erectile dysfunction in some men.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;Does Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease worsen over time?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It can. In some cases, the curvature and scar tissue gradually become more severe without treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;Is surgery always required for Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Not necessarily. Mild cases may respond to non-surgical treatments, while severe curvature may necessitate surgery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #cc99ff;&quot;&gt;Can shockwave therapy be beneficial for Peyronie&amp;rsquo;s disease?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;p1&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Shockwave therapy may help reduce pain and improve tissue healing in certain cases, although individual results vary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
