Nearly 3 percent of the entire male population is estimated to be afflicted with Peyronie's Disease. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 60, though it can also occur in men as young as 18.

Symptoms of the disease include:

" Painful erection making intercourse difficult or impossible
" Noticeable bend or arc in the penis with erection
" Noticeable narrowing of the diameter of the penis with erection
" Thick band of hard tissue within the penis

The exact cause of penile curvature is unknown but many researchers believe that the plaque of Peyronie's Disease develops following trauma (hitting or bending) or vigorous sexual activity that causes localized bleeding inside the penis. Others trace it to diabetes, circulatory disorders, or a genetic link.

Many men with Peyronie's Disease do not need any treatment. The disease sometimes clears up by itself, although it may take several years. Other men, however, do need treatment.

There are several drug treatments for those suffering from Peyronie's Disease like Vitamin E or B-complex treatment, steroid and calcium channel blockers injections, and radiation therapy but these are mainly for the reduction of pain. The most well known treatment for the disease however, involves surgery.

So if you notice a slight bend or arc or in your penis during erection, you should immediately take action before it gets worse. The condition is typically progressive and leads to impotence or inability to have intercourse.

This is where the Sizegenetics system (http://www.sizegenetics.com) can help you. Sizegenetics is a ground-breaking system based on a combination of traction, pills, and exercise program (primarily for penis enlargement), can also be used for correction of penile deviations or curvatures.

With the traction method, which is the foundation of the system, the penis cells are triggered to be trained or exercised naturally increasing their elasticity thus resulting in reduced or eliminated curvature. This simply means that the constant, permanent stretch to the cells of your penis will strengthen the penile tissues thus reducing the likelihood of scarring resulting to Peyronie's Disease.

Materials and Methods:

Eight patients (age 58.5±5.3 yrs.) affected by Peyronie’s disease, apparently unmodified at least in the latest 3 months and causing penile curvature during erection (PEC), were trained to use a mechanical penis stretcher. None of them complained about erectile dysfunction according to IIEF test, and penile pain. After intracavernous injection of PgE1 5-15 mg to obtain full erection (assessed by both Digital Inflection Rigidometry and palpation), cross scanning of tunica albuginea by duplex sonography, photographs of the erect penis according to Kelami’s projections, and penile diameters and length measurements were performed before and after daily home PS application (at least four hours / day) for 3 to 6 months.

Individual follow-up examinations were scheduled after 3 and 6 months. At the present time, all patients have concluded the 3-month follow-up, and two of them the 6-months' one.

Results:

The coat highest thickness resulted 1.8±0.6 mm before and 1.6±0.3 mm after using the SizeGenetics (n.s.). The septum latero-lateral maximum thickness was 2.2±0.7 mm before and 1.8±0.8 mm after using the SizeGenetics (n.s.). Penile length, dorsally measured from penopubic angle to meatus, was 100.5±27.3 mm before and 104.6±22.2 mm after using the SizeGenetics (n.s.). Photographs showed that PEC decreased from 34.1±4.9° before to 20.0±12.2° after using the SizeGenetics(p&lgt;0.05). The treatment was well tolerated (no severe complication and no drop out occurred).

Conclusions:

These results suggest a promising use of the SizeGenetics in selected Peyronie’s patients affected by penile curvature without erectile dysfunction.
