XIAFLEX: A Breakthrough Treatment for Peyronie’s Disease

Peyronie’s disease, a condition characterized by penile curvature due to scar tissue formation, now has an FDA-approved treatment option. XIAFLEX (collagenase clostridium histolyticum) stands as the only officially sanctioned treatment specifically designed to address this condition.

How XIAFLEX Works

The fundamental mechanism behind XIAFLEX’s effectiveness lies in its targeted approach to the underlying cause of Peyronie’s disease. The condition develops when collagen scar tissue forms on the corporal body of the penis, creating bands that tether the organ and force it into a curved position.

XIAFLEX directly addresses this issue through carefully administered injections. When a physician injects XIAFLEX directly into the plaque, the medication works to break down the collagen bonds responsible for the curvature. Over time, these bonds gradually release, allowing for improved penile straightening.

Treatment Protocol

The XIAFLEX treatment approach is two-fold:

  1. Direct Injections: A healthcare provider administers XIAFLEX injections precisely into the collagen plaque.
  2. Penile Modeling: Following injections, physicians typically recommend complementary stretching exercises. Patients are instructed to stretch the penis in the direction opposite to the curvature, which further helps release the restrictive bonds.

Patients should understand that the effects of XIAFLEX develop gradually rather than immediately. However, clinical experience indicates high satisfaction rates among patients who undergo this therapy, making it a promising option for those affected by Peyronie’s disease.
