Day theatre procedureAbout 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 suitability for injection treatment
- Treatment is usually given as a course of injections rather than a single visit
- Local anaesthesia may be used to reduce discomfort during the injection
- Some bruising or swelling at the injection site is common afterwards
- Your doctor will discuss realistic expectations and monitor your progress over the course of treatment
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
