Day theatre procedure
About this service
Peyronie's disease injection treatment in Windhoek is a procedure that injects medication directly into the scar tissue (plaque) inside the penis to help reduce curvature caused by Peyronie's disease. This condition develops when fibrous scar tissue forms under the skin, causing the penis to bend during erection, which can cause pain or difficulty with intercourse.
Injection treatment aims to soften or break down this scar tissue over a series of sessions rather than through open surgery. Eastgate Clinic offers this treatment in our on-site day theatre, with discretion and a clear explanation of what to expect.
What to expect
- An initial assessment confirms the diagnosis and whether injection treatment suits your curvature
- Treatment is given as a course of injections spaced weeks apart rather than a single visit
- Each injection is done in our on-site day theatre under local anaesthesia and you go home the same day
- Some bruising or swelling at the injection site is common for a few days afterwards
- Your doctor reviews curvature and pain between sessions and discusses realistic expectations
Who is it for?
You may be advised to have this if you are dealing with:
- Curvature or bending of the penis during erection
- A firm lump or band of scar tissue felt under the skin of the penis
- Pain during erection linked to penile curvature
- Difficulty with intercourse due to penile shape changes
- A diagnosis of Peyronie's disease from your doctor
Frequently asked questions
Can injections straighten a curved penis from Peyronie's disease?
Injections into the plaque can help soften the scar tissue and reduce curvature for some men, particularly when treatment starts before the plaque has hardened. Results vary, and your doctor will be honest about what improvement is realistic in your case.
How many injection sessions are needed for Peyronie's disease?
Treatment is given as a course rather than a single visit, typically spaced a few weeks apart over several months. Your doctor reviews the curvature and any pain between sessions and adjusts the plan accordingly.
Should I see a specialist before Peyronie's injection treatment?
Start with a consultation at Eastgate Clinic. Your doctor will examine the plaque, confirm the diagnosis and, where a visiting specialist is the right option, arrange the treatment in our on-site day theatre.
