Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My father-in-law, aged 57 years, has been undergoing treatment for Peyronie's disease with Xiaflex. Could you provide guidance or advice on how best to support him during this treatment? Specifically, what are the expected outcomes or improvements we could anticipate with Xiaflex, and are there any precautions we should consider to ensure the treatment's effectiveness and his overall well-being throughout the process? Please give your advice.

Answered by Dr. Sugreev Singh

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern.

Yes, actually, this medicine is good for Peyronie's disease, and it is given by professional doctors. There should be a gap of two to three days between every session. This medicine does not have many side effects. So, it can be taken and stopped at any time once your symptoms are cured. So, under the surveillance of a doctor, it can be taken easily. It is injectable and does not really cause much pain during the procedure. So, if you are planning to get treatment for Peyronie's, then this injection will definitely help you.

Hope this answers your query.

If anything else, please let me know.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
