Peyronie’s And Viagra: Does It Help?
If you’ve got Peyronie’s, and Viagra has been recommended as a treatment, you’re probably wondering how reliable it will be.
Viagra is one of the most well-known treatments for men experiencing erectile dysfunction issues, including Peyronie’s Disease, and the number of prescriptions for Viagra has tripled in the last decade.
But, when it comes to Peyronie’s and Viagra how effective is it?
Understanding Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s Disease is a condition resulting from scar tissue that develops on the penis and causes curved, painful erections.
All penises come in varying shapes and sizes, and a curve is not unnatural. However, the bend is significant for those suffering from Peyronie’s and may cause pain when erect.
The condition can prevent you from having sex and make it very difficult to get or maintain an erection.
The cause of Peyronie’s is not entirely understood. However, it most commonly occurs after an injury has occurred to the penis. This could be a result of vigorous sexual activity, athletic activity, or an accident.
After an injury and during the healing process, scar tissue forms in a disorganised manner. It can become painful because the area affected by the scar tissue is unable to stretch properly, resulting in your penis being unable to bend. In some cases, this can cause extreme discomfort when erect.
The symptoms of this Peyronie’s disease can include:
- Visible bumps – scar tissue can often be felt underneath the skin, making your penis look bumpy.
- Curved penis – the penis will have a significant bend or curve.
- Erection problems – either getting an erection or maintaining an erection.
- Shortening/narrowing penis – the scar formation pulls on the tissue, shortening it.
- Pain – experienced with or without an erection but is most common whilst erect.
Peyronie’s sufferers often feel low moods and low self-esteem, which can have a debilitating effect on relationships too.
Understanding Viagra
Viagra is a brand-name prescription drug approved to treat erectile dysfunction. It works by relaxing the muscle cells in the blood vessels supplying the penis, allowing an increased blood flow.
Viagra restores impaired erectile function by increasing blood flow to the penis. By increasing blood flow, an erection can occur, improving your sex life and enabling you to have sexual intercourse without interruptions.
You should feel the effects 30-60 minutes after taking it, therefore you’ll need to take Viagra at least one hour before you intend to have sex. The length of time Viagra takes to work can be affected by food, alcohol, and sexual stimulation.
Effects can last up to 4 hours for some men.
Peyronie’s And Viagra: Does It Help?
Viagra is not a treatment for Peyronie’s Disease, but it can help with erectile dysfunction, which is a common symptom of Peyronie’s Disease. One of the downsides to combining Peyronie’s and Vigara is you have to take a pill before having sex, meaning that you will have to plan when to take it to get the best results.
Viagra should not worsen Peyronie’s or cause further injury to your penis during sex, but that does not mean that Peyronie’s and Viagra are the best combinations. For example, Viagra will not help the curvature or bend in your penis, and it won’t lessen pain. But it will help with being able to maintain an erection to have sex.
Some believe Viagra could be useful in lowering collagen ratios in the plaque build-up associated with Peyronie’s disease, but the results are inconclusive and the scientific evidence is lacking.
The side effects of taking Viagra can include:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Flushing
- Upset stomach
- Fainting
- Vision loss
- Erection lasting more than 4 hours
Is There An Alternative?
The good news is that there are alternative treatments available if you are suffering from Peyronie’s. And Viagra isn’t the only medication often used, Tadalafil, Vardenafil, and Avanafil are all used to help with erectile dysfunction. You should consult your doctor if you would like to try any of these medicines as a prescription will be required.
But, if you don’t like the idea of relying on medication then you could try the P-Shot.
The P-Shot is a pioneering treatment perfect for helping Peyronie’s Disease. And unlike Viagra, it can correct a bend in the penis by helping to tackle plaque build-ups. This can actually stop painful erections completely in some cases.
How P-Shot Helps Peyronie’s Disease
The P-Shot is a pioneering treatment that treats erectile issues such as impotence or the inability to maintain a firm erection. It is especially effective at treating Peyronie’s Disease because it can correct the bend in the penis by helping tackle the plaque build-up.
It relies on platelet-rich plasma found in your blood to stimulate the growth of new, younger tissue and increase blood flow.
The procedure works by taking a small amount of your blood which is then spun at a high frequency within a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma. Your doctor will then inject the PRP into your treatment area. This might sound uncomfortable, but the whole procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you won’t experience any pain.
By improving the blood supply and triggering tissue regeneration, patients notice an increase in the ability to get an erection and maintain the firmness of their erections.
It is one of the most reliable treatments for many of the common symptoms of Peyronie’s, and Viagra is not usually required afterwards to maintain an erection. In our clinic, around 84.2% of the men we have treated have gone from being unable to get an erection to being able to have penetrative sex without pain.
Benefits Of The P-Shot
The benefits of the P Shot include:
- Straighter penis
- Stronger, firmer erections
- Improved sexual stamina – it’s far easier to achieve and maintain erections
- Increased penile length and girth for some
- Improvement in or resolution of penile curvature from Peyronie’s Disease.
- Less painful or pain-free erections
If you’re struggling with Peyronie’s and Viagra isn’t helping, the P-Shot could be what you’re looking for.
