Penile Trauma and Peyronie's Disease
Any form of injury to the genital area can lead to Peyronie's disease, and surgery is no exception. Surgery can cause inflammation and swelling, leading to the formation of scar tissue and fibrous plaques that contribute to the onset of PD. While often a cause of personal stress, this condition is not cancerous. Peyronie's disease restricts the penis from expanding, leading to curvature. The scar tissue can also interfere with the normal blood flow, which may result in reduced firmness and partial erectile dysfunction (ED). Most patients notice these changes over a period of 12 to 18 months. There is also a possibility that during surgery, the penile nerves may be stretched or damaged. If they are damaged, it may not be possible to achieve an erection, but if stretched, some degree of erection may still be possible."

In the majority of cases, the treatment is required to break down scar tissue, enhance blood vessel health (angiogenesis), and promote nerve tissue regeneration (neurogenesis) – helping to improve the shape of the penis and facilitate easier erections. As a result, many men who have undergone prostate cancer treatment and later developed Peyronie's disease are able to regain a comfortable and satisfying level of sexual function.
