    Peyronie's Disease (adjunctive care)

    Also known as: Peyronie's disease, curved erection, penile plaque

    Peyronie's disease is scar tissue (plaque) in the penile shaft causing curvature, sometimes pain and erectile difficulty. Urological assessment guides options — observation, collagenase injections or surgery. Chinese medicine reads it as phlegm stasis binding the channels, with liver constraint and kidney deficiency, and supports the tissue and emotional strain alongside specialist care.

    Lifestyle & Diet

    • •See a urologist early — treatment windows matter (the active phase is the best time).
    • •Discuss psychological support; curvature affects confidence and intimacy.
    • •Stop smoking — it worsens vascular and healing problems.
    • •Review erectile medicines with the specialist rather than self-medicating.

    Cautions & Contraindications

    • •No needling over the plaque itself.[]
