Doctors Are Using A New Method Of Treatment Of Peyronie's Disease.
The basic stimulant treatment for unusual curvature of the penis has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, the action announced Friday Dec 2013. Men with the condition, called Peyronie's disease, have a hunk in the penis that causes curvature of at least 30 degrees during an erection. The disorder, which is caused by blemish tissue under the skin of the penis, can cause bothersome symptoms during sex.

Until now, surgery was the only medical way out for men with the condition, according to an FDA bulletin release. The FDA's approval of the drug Xiaflex (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) to aide men with Peyronie's disease calls for a maximum of four treatment cycles. Each pattern consists of two injections and one penile remodeling procedure performed by a health care professional. The licence is based on two studies involving more than 800 men with Peyronie's disease.
