Interesting Summary of Peyronies Disease from Leading UK University Hospital

[jay756]

I was interested to read a certain article by Cambridge University Hospitals about Peyronies Disease.

https://www.cuh.nhs.uk/patient-information/peyronies-disease-frequently-asked-questions/

It's pretty detailed and written so confidently it sounds like an academic.

Yet one thing struck me regarding progression. It says "Spontaneous improvement in the disease is seen in 60 to 70% of patients"

Doesn't this contradict what is typically said about Peyronies Disease, that although some cases might resolve, active treatment is required and most just reach stabilization or deteriorate further. In the above article it's saying that most of us just get better anyway doing nothing. I find it hard to believe.

More strange things: Xiaflex injections apparently don't work, Pentox has no mention, and Tamoxifen is the only proven oral treatment... I would love to know the sources of this kind of stuff.

In general, it always seemed to me like Peyronies Disease is dizzying / confusing in its treatment options, causes and, well, everything.

The only reason I take this somewhat seriously is because it's from one of the leading universities in the world.

Check out some answers from Dr. Trost on this forum. He mentioned that long term the disease in some cases gets better.

In the active phase you have pain, inflammation and progression.
In the chronic phase most of the pain stops and you basically have a scar inside your penis.
Scar tissue (especially if you stretch it naturally with Tadalafil night time erections) can soften over time.

Imho it is important to accept that your penis will never be the same, but try to keep the hope up for natural/long term improvement.

Best wishes
