What is Peyronie’s disease?
When scar tissue develops under the skin of the penis due to trauma or minor injury, Peyronie’s disease may occur. As the scar tissue forms the penis may become bent or indented during an erection, which can cause increased pain.
What is Xiaflex and how does it work?
Xiaflex is a prescription medication used to treat Peyronie’s disease. It is made from a combination of two enzymes that break down the fibrous scar tissue responsible for the bend or curve in the penis. By breaking down this tissue, Xiaflex can help straighten the penis and relieve pain during erections.
Xiaflex is a non-surgical option for treating Peyronie’s disease. It is administered directly into the affected area of the penis in a series of injections. These injections are performed by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting and typically take less than 5 minutes to complete.
Xiaflex is done through a series of injections. In total, there are normally 4 cycles of injections with only 2 injections per cycle. A full treatment course will usually consist of 8 total injections over about 6 months.
