Modern possibilities of diagnosis and treatment of Peyronie's disease in the Czech context

Original language description

Peyronie&apos;s disease is an acquired fibrotic disorder of the tunica albuginea, leading to penile deformity, painful erections, and often erectile dysfunction; its prevalence in Europe reaches up to 9% in middle-aged men. This review summarizes the results of studies from 2019-2025 concerning diagnostic methods and therapeutic options. Based on the analysis of 142 original studies, 23 meta-analyses, and current European Association of Urology (EAU) a American Urological Association (AUA) recommendations, we confirm that intralesional verapamil reduces curvature in the active phase by an average of 9-17o and low-intensity shockwave therapy (LiSWT) improves pain and reduces curvature by approximately 10o, particularly for plaques larger than 2 cm. Surgical methods - plication, incision/grafting, and penile prosthesis implantation - achieve initial straightening in more than 90% of cases but differ in impact on penile length and the risk of de novo erectile dysfunction. Regenerative therapies like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) offer promising, yet currently experimental results. Optimal care is based on early diagnosis, individualization of conservative treatment, and precise surgical correction; in the Czech Republic, standard approaches include verapamil, LiSWT, and surgery, while biological approaches require further research.
