A penile prosthesis is an effective treatment for men with erectile dysfunction who do not respond to less invasive therapy. They can also be used in treat peyronie's disease (penile curvature) and penile fibrosis from priapism. The procedure should be regarded as an end-stage irreversible surgery in that the medications and injections will not work after penile prosthesis surgery is performed.

Penile plication is indicated in patients with a penile curvature angle greater than 30° associated with difficulty in vaginal penetration in patients who are able to achieve an erection. Your urologist will wait until you peyronie’s disease has reached a stable phase (no pain or worsening of curvature for 3-6 months) before recommending surgical treatment.

Some men were born with congenital penile curvature and in others, it develops over time. Penile curvature that develops later in life is called Peyronie’s disease.

The head of penis is covered by a tissue called the foreskin. The foreskin is usually loose and slides easily over the head of the penis. This movement allows us to urinate or for the penis become fully erect (in adults). Sometimes, though, the foreskin is too tight. It can close over the glans and become unable to move. This condition is called phimosis.
