Hi and welcome to MansMatters, the erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease shockwave clinic. Today, I want to talk to you about Peyronie’s disease and the autoimmune system.
Men suffering from an autoimmune disease are considered to be at a higher risk of developing Peyronie’s disease. In non-medical terms, that means they are far more likely to develop the condition than the average person.
An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells. Normally, the immune system protects the body from infection, identifying the difference between harmful and healthy cells. However, in autoimmune diseases, the immune system releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack the body’s own cells. There are over 80 different autoimmune diseases. Some, like type 1 diabetes, only affect one organ (the pancreas), while others, like lupus, can attack the whole body.
Men with autoimmune diseases are more vulnerable to developing Peyronie’s disease. This occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the healthy cells within the penis, leading to inflammation, scarring, and a buildup of plaque. As a result, the penis may bend when erect.
If you have an autoimmune disease and are suffering from Peyronie’s disease or erectile dysfunction, the good news is that there is a highly effective medical treatment available called focused shockwave therapy.
Focused shockwave therapy can reduce scarring and break down the fibrous plaque, which helps straighten the penis and promotes the growth of healthy blood vessels. We have had success with over 90 percent of patients treated with focused shockwave therapy, meaning many have been able to avoid painful, invasive surgeries.
