How Effective Is The New Injection Treatment Using Xiaflex For Peyronie S Disease?
I was diagnosed with Peyronie s disease around 10 years ago. Today on the doctors show they discussed a new injection treatment using Xiaflex that has been approved by the FDA. What do you know about this treatment. I can get an erection but the curve is about 30 to 40 degrees and not painful. I have lost length and girth in my penis. Paul

Hi,
I have gone through your query.
Xiaflex was previously used for the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture. Now it has been approved for use in Peyronie's disease. Main action of this medicine that it dismantles the fibrous tissue which led to bending of penis. The drug works by breaking down the protein collagen.
There are 4 cycles of treatment with it. 2 injections are given in each cycle and later on penile remodeling is done ,if required.
It can correct upto 30 degrees of curvature. Final decision should be made by treating doctor.
Do consider a positive feedback as a credit to my work. Let me know if you have any further questions.
