Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate BPH / September 2004PVP with Peyronie's
I had a consultation with a uro who uses PVP about a year ago, but did not have the procedure at that time. I was told the next step was for the Dr. to do a scope exam to make sure I was a good candidate for the PVP. He said one of the things that might disqualify me was scar tissue. I have since developed Peyonie's, which is caused by scar tissue, but I wonder if the scar tissue that causes the Peyronie's is in a location that would disqualify me for a PVP. I suppose the only way to know for sure is to go back and have the Dr. do the scope exam, but I wonder if anyone in the group has had a similar problem, or experience with this sort of thing. Thanks for any help. Don > I had a consultation with a uro who uses PVP about a year ago, but did > not have the procedure at that time.

It forms in what is called the tuncia albuginea, which surrounds the erectile tissue of the penis, so the fibrous tissue is much closer to the exterior of the penis than it is to the urethra. I have Peyronie's and had a PVP 16 months ago. The Peyronie's did not interfere with the PVP, nor did the PVP affect the Peryonie's. I would say my degree of curvature is 30 degrees upward from the horizontal plane and 5 to 10 degrees left of the vertical plane at the base of the penis. The curvature has not changed since the PVP, although I now have retro, which was somewhat expected because of the medial prostate growth into my bladder. Hope this helps. Jack Jack, Thanks for your reply. That is the answer I was hoping for, because I am going to have to do either a PVP or TURP pretty soon. At least I still have hope that I can do the PVP. I already have the retro most of the time, although I hear that that is a side effect of the Proscar I am on.
