Stages of Peyronie's Disease
Specialists divide Peyronie’s disease into two stages, first the acute stage which is followed by the chronic stage.
During both phases, the bent/curved penis may cause problems with sexual intercourse. Simultaneously you also may have Erectile Dysfunction.
The evolution of Peyronie’s disease occurs over an average period of 6-months. Throughout this time, it should be constantly observed so that the appropriate treatment to the stage in which it is in can be provided.
You can learn how to identify which stage you may be in and what to do in each case by reading further after watching the video.
Stage One – The Acute Phase
In the acute stage plaque starts forming within the penis and increases in size and develops in shape. During this stage the plaque will be softer and pliable. In the early months of the acute phase symptoms may not be noticed but will nonetheless develop.
Patients will experience some pain or discomfort, a bending of the penis and often a hardening or lump in one area. Most conventional treatments are not recommended at this stage, so if you are going through this you may have to grit your teeth and wait until the problem gets worse. However, Focused Shockwave Therapy with its ability to break down plaque, is an excellent solution to prevent the condition getting more severe. It should also overcome the onset of erectile dysfunction or the inability to have intercourse, because of a too severe deformity.
Stage Two – The Chronic Phase
During the Chronic stage the plaque is fully formed and hardened, and pain has normally disappeared. The blood vessels around the afflicted area are clogged up with minute plaques and the penis will bend on erection. In most cases the patient will suffer partial erectile dysfunction, a loss of girth and length and a softening at the end of the penis.
Historically, the only treatment at this stage has been life changing surgery. This might be for Penile Plication a shortening of the penis of up to 2 inches to straighten it, or the insertion of penile implants.
Penile implants rely on a manual pump to achieve an erection and many patients report a reduction on length as various prothesis are used.
