New FDA-approved Treatment for Curvature of the Penis
Until recently, surgery was the only effective treatment for Peyronie’s disease, a condition that causes curvature and shortening of the penis, making intercourse difficult or impossible. Now there is a new option. Xiaflex (collagenase) is the first drug approved by the FDA to treat Peyronie’s disease. “I think the fact that we have an FDA-approved drug is really a breakthrough in this disease,” said Stanton Honig, MD, a Yale urologist who specializes in male reproduction and sexual dysfunction.
