Understanding the Relationship Between Penile Fibrosis and Fibrotic Plaque

Penile fibrosis is unwelcome in male sexual life. The presence of fibrosis can lead to penis curvature, the main symptom of Peyronie's Disease.

Although no man wishes to go through this situation, Peyronie’s affects about 10% of the male population in Brazil, according to data from the Brazilian Society of Urology (BSU).

The condition mainly develops in men over 40 years old and causes changes in the anatomy of the penis.

Penile fibrosis occurs due to the replacement of already formed elastic tissues with less elastic tissues.

Attention to Fibrotic Plaque

Penile fibrosis is nothing more than a thickening of the internal structures of the member that can affect male sexual life. One of the main consequences is the curvature of the penis.

The formation of the fibrotic plaque is the result of repeated traumas or microtraumas that are not even noticed, whether during sexual relations, when the man sleeps on the erect member, or by wearing very tight underwear for long periods.

This generates scars that, over time, stiffen the involved tissues, which may not recover uniformly along the penis, leading to curvature.

As age progresses, the tissues naturally tend to become even stiffer and thicker. Additionally, some health conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular problems, promote the emergence of fibrosis.

Phases of Fibrosis

It is possible to classify the types of penile fibrosis according to some aspects:

Regarding the location of the fibrotic plaque

Regarding its quantity

Regarding its calcification

By knowing more about penile fibrosis, it is also possible to identify the phase of Peyronie’s Disease.

In the inflammatory phase, the condition is still in its initial stage, with progressive evolution of the penis curvature. In the scarring phase, the fibrosis plaque is already installed, and the deformity is stable.

When It's Time to Seek Help

It is ideal for a man who exhibits penile curvature to seek medical help as soon as possible, whether by noticing lumps on the penis or small signs of anatomical changes.

Early treatment has benefits such as:

Minimizing the progression of penile curvature;
Avoiding erectile dysfunction;
Performing specific examinations to assess the severity of the case and receive personalized treatment;
Attempting clinical treatment, with oral medications or injections, as the first option;
Trying to avoid surgical treatment of the case;
Restoring the quality of sexual life.

Treatments for Penile Fibrosis

The patient who seeks medical help from the first signs has the option to try clinical treatment.

With oral medications and penile injections, in some cases, it is possible to stabilize the degree of curvature so that it does not interfere with sexual performance, and to restore the rigidity of the penis if erectile dysfunction occurs due to fibrosis.

Severe cases, where fibrosis has reached the cavernous bodies, are in the scarring phase or even calcified, usually need to be treated surgically.

With the approach developed by Dr. Paulo Egydio, which gave more precision to a surgical technique already established worldwide, it is possible to:
