In my opinion when a man goes through an injection therapy with verapamil or Intron A, and there is no visible benefit of the erect deformity of the penis following a course of 6 injections, then further injection is unlikely to result in any substantial benefit. Recently

There has been no study of human growth hormone (hGH) in Peyronie’s disease. I am unaware of the ability of hGH to dissolve collagen or scar. In all of the medical conferences that I have attended in the past decade that have included Peyronie’s disease research presentations,

Theoretically steroids will reduce scar formation by inhibiting fibroblasts from making the primary components of scar, that being collagen. Unfortunately, all steroids

Read more →It may be that you have an early form of Peyronie’s disease, which is either spontaneously recovering which occurs in less than 10% of cases, or may be responding to the oral and topical medicines that you are using. Unfortunately, there is very little evidence that vitamin
