Understanding Peyronie's Disease
Peyronie's disease occurs when fibrous plaques develop within the penis, leading to:

Potential causes include genetic and environmental factors, primarily affecting middle-aged and older individuals.
Emerging Treatments
- Shockwave Therapy: Non-invasive therapy to break down plaques and stimulate new blood vessel growth.
- PRP Therapy: Promotes tissue healing by injecting concentrated blood platelets.
- Stem Cell Therapy: Early research suggests regenerative potential for scar tissue.
