Suggest Treatment For Peyronie S Disease
My husband has peyronies disease. His father had it also. So needless to say we have not had sex in 2years now. His father was told there is nothing that can be done. And if there is not than ok. But we have 3 boys we are going to have to sit down and talk to them about this. And not only that I would love to have my sex life back.

Hi
I can understand your problem.
Following surgical methods are found to be useful in correcting the abnormal curvature of penis due to Peyronie's disease.
The two most common surgeries used to treat Peyronie's disease are:
1. Removal of the plaque followed by placement of a tissue patch
2. Removal or altering the tissue from the side of the penis opposite the plaque, which counters the disease's bending effect
Unfortunately, the surgeries do not guarantee normal penis function.
The US.FDA has approved a new drug Xiaflex (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) to treat men with bothersome curvature of the penis.
It is believed to work by breaking down the scar tissue that causes the curvature.
The treatment consists of a maximum of four treatment cycles.
Each cycle consists of two Xiaflex injection procedures (in which Xiaflex is injected directly into the collagen-containing structure of the penis) and one penile modeling procedure performed by an urologist.
I therefore advise you to consult an urologist for proper evaluation and the treatment.
Hope the suggestion given above could be useful in restoring your sexual life.
