Curvature of the Penis: Treatment
Symptoms may be decreased somewhat with radiation therapy or corticosteroid injections into the fibrous band of tissue. Topical verapamil, an oral medication used for high blood pressure, has recently been shown to improve the disease, and has been approved for use in treating Peyronie's.
If medical therapy fails and intercourse is not possible secondary to the curvature of the penis, surgery may be utilized to correct the curvature. Surgery is reserved for severe cases where intercourse is not possible due to the high risk of the surgery causing impotence.
