Urological Associates of Southern Arizona now offers Xiaflex, an FDA-approved nonsurgical prescription treatment option for appropriate patients suffering with Peyronie’s Disease, which is an uncomfortable curvature of the penis. As Arizona’s leading provider in urological medicine, Xiaflex is just one of the treatments we offer to our patients that suffer from numerous urological problems.
What is Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease is caused by a plaque under the skin that results in a bent, or curved, penis when erect. A Peyronie’s disease plaque may result from injury to the penis and/or genetic factors; however, the exact cause of Peyronie’s disease is unknown.
Peyronie’s disease is unlikely to go away on its own and may get worse over time. That’s why speaking to your HCP about it is so important. You can utilize treatments such as Xiaflex to treat the condition without invasive surgery and recovery time. If you live in the Tucson Area and have suffered these symptoms, please contact us today.
