What Is Peyronie's Disease?
10. Treatment Contraindications
The contradictions to the treatment of Peyronie’s disease are based on the signs and symptoms. If there is minimal curvature, little to no loss of penile rigidity, and no compromise of function, intervention is contraindicated. This is due to the fact that any intervention is unlikely to improve appearance or function while exposing patients to side effects and worsening of the symptoms. To those with hypersensitivity to a specific agent, oral and topical treatments are contraindicated.
Meanwhile, injectable agents are well tolerated and have little systemic effects as the amounts injected are small. Surgery is also contraindicated for those with minimal symptoms or unstable disease as surgery performed before fibrosis is complete will lead to more plaque and curvature.
