Peyronies Disease

Peyronies Disease and Treatments

Peyronie's disease varies in severity, and may develop very slowly or very quickly. Symptoms include:
- Hardening of tissue in the penis
- Painful erections
- Curvature in the penis during erection
- Shortening, bumps, or depressions in the penis
- Plaque developing on the top of the shaft which causes the penis to bend upward during erection, but it may also occur on the bottom, causing the penis to bend downward.
- If plaque develops both on the top and the bottom, indentations and shortening of the penis may occur.
- In about 1 in 8 cases the plaque does not cause any major problems and the condition resolves itself.
- In severe cases however, the pain and curvature can result in incomplete erection or even erectile dysfunction (impotence).

Expensive surgery is one option to remove the plaque but many men with Peyronies have benefited from a much cheaper solution by using the ProExtender traction device. The Danish-made doctor-designed device is used in hundreds of clinics and hospitals worldwide specifically for the treatment of Peyronie's.
