[Iontophoresis in Peyronie's disease. Our experience].

Abstract

UNLABELLED:

Peyronie's disease is a type of acquired penile incurvation of unknown origin yet, which generates from the difficulty of symmetric expansion of the corpora cavernosum produced by fibrous plaques in the middle line of the albuginea.

OBJECTIVES:

To define the results of iontophoresis among the wide spectrum of treatments used for this disease.

METHODS:

61 patients treated by iontophoresis with orgotein in weekly sessions.

RESULTS:

Pain improvement 42.6%, incurvation improvement 6.1%, improvement of both 21.3%.

CONCLUSIONS:

In patients with Peyronie's disease iontophoresis with orgotein diminishes pain with erections, and, to a lesser extent, penile incurvation.
