Peyronie's disease, which results from a buildup of scar tissue in the penis, causes curved or constricted erections that are often painful. When left untreated, it can cause sexual dysfunction and significant changes to the appearance of the penis. LaSara Medical Group in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, CA, offers shockwave therapy treatments for Peyronie's disease and penile injuries.
What is Peyronie's Disease and Penile Injury Shockwave Therapy?
A curved erection isn't necessarily a sign of Peyronie's disease. If you've had a curved erection for a long time, there's a good chance that's simply the natural shape of your penis. However, if you've noticed any troubling changes to the appearance of your penis, or are experiencing pain, with or without an erection, shockwave therapy at LaSara Medical Group could be right for you.
Shockwave therapy is used to break down the scar tissue causing the curvature or constriction of blood flow in the penis. After treatment, your body will grow new soft tissue where the hardened scar tissue once existed. As an outcome, your penis will naturally expand or straighten back to its original state before the onset of Peyronie's disease or any penile injuries.
