Choroba peyroniego
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka
Choroba Peyroniego charakteryzuje się powstawaniem bliznowatej tkanki podskórnej (blaszki) w prąciu, prowadzącej do patologicznego zakrzywienia penisa podczas erekcji. Schorzenie dotyka głównie mężczyzn po 40. roku życia, z częstością sięgającą do 15%. Przebiega w dwóch fazach: ostrej, z aktywnym procesem zapalnym i bólem podczas wzwodu, oraz przewlekłej, gdzie krzywizna stabilizuje się na okres co najmniej 3-6 miesięcy, a ból ustępuje. Diagnostyka opiera się na wywiadzie, badaniu fizykalnym, ultrasonografii oraz ocenie funkcji erekcyjnej (np. IIEF). Wczesne rozpoznanie i leczenie są kluczowe dla zapobiegania progresji i poprawy jakości życia pacjenta, zwłaszcza że około 13% przypadków może ulec samoistnej remisji.

Wprowadzenie do choroby Peyroniego
Choroba Peyroniego to schorzenie, w którym w penisie tworzy się tkanka bliznowata (tzw. blaszka), powodująca zakrzywienie prącia podczas erekcji. Tkanka bliznowata tworzy się pod skórą penisa, zmieniając jego naturalny, gładki kształt podczas wzwodu i nadając mu charakterystyczne wygięcie lub zagięcie. Ta blaszka nie jest tym samym rodzajem blaszki, która może rozwijać się w tętnicach, ani nie ma charakteru nowotworowego.12 Choroba Peyroniego nie jest chorobą zakaźną ani przenoszoną drogą płciową, co oznacza, że nie można się nią zarazić od innych osób.3
Choroba Peyroniego dotyka mężczyzn w różnym wieku, choć najczęściej występuje u mężczyzn po 40. roku życia. Szacuje się, że może dotyczyć nawet do 15% mężczyzn powyżej 40 lat.45 Nieleczona choroba może się pogorszyć i wpłynąć na jakość życia pacjenta.
Fazy choroby Peyroniego
Choroba Peyroniego przebiega w dwóch głównych fazach: ostrej (aktywnej) i przewlekłej (stabilnej).67
Faza ostra
W fazie ostrej (aktywnej) choroba charakteryzuje się znacznym bólem podczas erekcji, a stopień krzywizny penisa zmienia się (może się pogarszać lub poprawiać z czasem). W tej fazie blaszka nadal się kształtuje, a proces zapalny jest aktywny.89 Leczenie w tej fazie koncentruje się głównie na łagodzeniu bólu i zapobieganiu dalszemu pogarszaniu się stanu.
Faza przewlekła
W fazie przewlekłej (stabilnej) krzywizna penisa ustabilizowała się (nie zmienia się) przez co najmniej 3-6 miesięcy i jest mniej bolesna podczas erekcji.10 W tej fazie choroba zwykle nie ulega poprawie samoistnie.11 Dostępne są różne opcje leczenia, w tym zabiegi chirurgiczne, które nie są zalecane w fazie ostrej.
Objawy choroby Peyroniego
Mężczyźni z chorobą Peyroniego zwykle zgłaszają się do lekarza z powodu:1213
- Bolesnych erekcji
- Wyczuwalnej blizny (blaszki) pod skórą penisa
- Zakrzywienia lub skrócenia penisa
- Trudności z odbywaniem stosunków płciowych
- Problemów z erekcją (zaburzeń erekcji)
Choroba Peyroniego może powodować nie tylko fizyczny dyskomfort, ale również znaczące problemy psychologiczne, wpływając na samoocenę, pewność siebie oraz relacje z partnerem.1617
Diagnostyka choroby Peyroniego
Diagnostyka choroby Peyroniego zazwyczaj obejmuje:1819
- Dokładny wywiad medyczny
- Badanie fizykalne, podczas którego lekarz ocenia tkankę bliznowatą w penisie
- W niektórych przypadkach badanie USG penisa w celu określenia dokładnej wielkości i lokalizacji blaszki
- Kwestionariusze, takie jak Międzynarodowy Wskaźnik Funkcji Erekcyjnej (IIEF), które pomagają opisać, jak choroba wpływa na zdolność do odbywania stosunków seksualnych
Wczesna diagnoza choroby Peyroniego ma kluczowe znaczenie dla skuteczności leczenia. Wczesne leczenie daje najlepszą szansę na poprawę stanu lub zapobieżenie jego pogorszeniu.2223
Opieka i leczenie w chorobie Peyroniego
Celem leczenia choroby Peyroniego jest zmniejszenie bólu, uzyskanie prostego lub prawie prostego penisa, a także przywrócenie i utrzymanie zdolności do odbywania stosunków płciowych.2425 Nie wszyscy mężczyźni z chorobą Peyroniego wymagają leczenia – w niektórych przypadkach (około 13% przypadków) choroba może ustąpić samoistnie.26
Jeśli krzywizna penisa nie jest poważna ani bolesna i nie utrudnia odbywania stosunków płciowych, leczenie może nie być konieczne.2728 Jednak jeśli występuje ból lub krzywizna się pogarsza i utrudnia aktywność seksualną, leczenie może pomóc.29
Niechirurgiczne opcje leczenia
Niechirurgiczne opcje leczenia obejmują:3031
Leki doustne
Leki doustne są często próbowane przez 1-2 lata przed zastosowaniem innych metod leczenia.32 W niektórych przypadkach choroba może ustąpić w tym czasie. Leki doustne mogą obejmować:
- Niesteroidowe leki przeciwzapalne (NLPZ), takie jak ibuprofen czy naproksen, które mogą pomóc w łagodzeniu bólu w fazie ostrej3334
- Tamoksyfen, przyjmowany przez sześć tygodni, który jest wskazany tylko we wczesnej, bolesnej fazie choroby; podawany we właściwym czasie może łagodzić ból i ograniczać późniejsze zginanie penisa35
- Pentoksyfilina, która może zmniejszyć ilość tkanki bliznowatej36
- Inne leki, które mogą pomóc zmiękczyć i zmniejszyć blaszkę w penisie37
Warto zauważyć, że leki doustne nie są zalecane w fazie przewlekłej choroby, ponieważ nie wykazano ich skuteczności na tym etapie.39
Iniekcje
Iniekcje leków bezpośrednio do blaszki (tzw. iniekcje intralezyjna) mogą być stosowane zarówno w fazie ostrej, jak i przewlekłej choroby.4041 Opcje iniekcji obejmują:
- Kolagenaza (Xiaflex) – obecnie jedyna terapia zatwierdzona przez FDA do leczenia choroby Peyroniego. Działa, rozbijając blaszki, zmniejszając krzywizny i poprawiając funkcję erekcyjną4243
- Werapamil – lek normalnie stosowany w leczeniu wysokiego ciśnienia krwi, który wydaje się zakłócać produkcję białek kolagenowych w tkance bliznowatej44
- Interferon – białko, które wydaje się zakłócać produkcję tkanki bliznowatej45
Miejsce iniekcji jest często znieczulane przed wstrzyknięciem. Zabiegi te można przeprowadzać w gabinecie lekarskim.47
Terapia trakcyjna i inne metody fizyczne
Terapia trakcyjna penisa polega na rozciąganiu penisa za pomocą urządzenia mechanicznego, które zakłada się codziennie.48 Jest zalecana w fazie wczesnej choroby Peyroniego i jest jedynym leczeniem, które wykazało poprawę długości penisa.49 Terapia trakcyjna może być również stosowana w fazie przewlekłej choroby, w połączeniu z innymi metodami leczenia lub po operacji, aby uzyskać lepszy wynik.50
Inne metody fizyczne, które mogą być stosowane w leczeniu choroby Peyroniego, obejmują:51
- Terapia falami uderzeniowymi (shockwave therapy)52
- Stosowanie ciepła (hipertermia)53
- Aplikacja magnezu na penisa54
- Aplikacja werapamilu miejscowo na penisa55
- Urządzenia próżniowe, które mogą pomóc odzyskać elastyczność penisa utraconą z powodu choroby Peyroniego, zaburzeń erekcji lub cukrzycy56
Modelowanie penisa
Po leczeniu kolagenazą (Xiaflex) pacjenci mogą odnieść korzyści z delikatnych ćwiczeń modelujących penis. Przez 6 tygodni po leczeniu lekarze mogą zalecać następujące dwie czynności:57
- Rozciąganie penisa w stanie nieerekcyjnym trzy razy dziennie przez 30 sekund na każde rozciągnięcie
- Prostowanie penisa podczas spontanicznej erekcji niezwiązanej z aktywnością seksualną przez 30 sekund raz dziennie
Chirurgiczne opcje leczenia
Operacja jest zwykle rozważana, gdy krzywizna penisa jest poważna, znacząco przeszkadza w życiu seksualnym lub gdy inne metody leczenia nie przynoszą efektów.5960 Eksperci medyczni zalecają, aby nie przeprowadzać operacji, dopóki blaszka i krzywizna penisa nie ustabilizują się, co zmniejsza szanse na konieczność przeprowadzenia drugiej operacji.6162
Operacja nie jest zalecana w ostrej fazie choroby Peyroniego. Nie jest opcją leczenia, dopóki stan przestanie się pogarszać, a ból ustąpi.63
Rodzaj stosowanej operacji zależy od stanu pacjenta. Zespół opieki zdrowotnej prawdopodobnie weźmie pod uwagę, gdzie w penisie znajduje się tkanka bliznowata, jak poważne są objawy i inne czynniki.64
Opcje chirurgiczne obejmują:6566
- Plikacja – polega na zginaniu penisa w przeciwnym kierunku, aby wyprostować go za pomocą szwów67
- Nacięcie/wycięcie i przeszczep – obejmuje chirurgiczne usunięcie bliznowatej blaszki68
- Implant prącia – może być stosowany u pacjentów z zarówno chorobą Peyroniego, jak i zaburzeniami erekcji6970
U niektórych mężczyzn mogą wystąpić powikłania po operacji, a czasami operacja nie koryguje niektórych skutków choroby Peyroniego, takich jak skrócenie penisa.71
Rekonwalescencja po zabiegach
W zależności od rodzaju zabiegu pacjent może wrócić do domu tego samego dnia lub następnego dnia po operacji. Zazwyczaj konieczne jest wzięcie kilku dni wolnego na odpoczynek, a powrót do aktywności seksualnej może wymagać odczekania kilku tygodni.72
Zalecenia dotyczące rekonwalescencji mogą obejmować:73
- Stosowanie okładów z lodu, aby ograniczyć obrzęk moszny i penisa po operacji, szczególnie w pierwszych 48 godzinach
- Noszenie podtrzymki (suspensorium) przez tydzień
- Ograniczenie intensywnej aktywności przez dwa tygodnie po operacji
Należy skontaktować się z chirurgiem, jeśli obrzęk jest poważny lub jeśli występuje duża ilość płynu (nasączającego kilka opatrunków dziennie). Inne powody, aby skontaktować się z chirurgiem po rekonstrukcji penisa, obejmują nasilający się ból po 48 godzinach, zwiększone zaczerwienienie lub tkliwość wokół miejsca nacięcia lub gorączkę powyżej 38,3°C.74
Wsparcie psychologiczne i porady dla pacjentów
Choroba Peyroniego może powodować niepokój i stres zarówno u pacjenta, jak i jego partnera seksualnego.75 Wpływa ona na każdą osobę inaczej. Może być bardzo frustrująca i wpływać na pewność siebie w relacjach seksualnych. Nie jest rzadkością, że osoby z chorobą Peyroniego doświadczają depresji lub problemów w związkach.7677
Pacjent i jego partner powinni dowiedzieć się jak najwięcej o chorobie.78 Poradnictwo może pomóc parom utrzymać aktywne życie seksualne.79 Specjaliści w dziedzinie zdrowia psychicznego, tacy jak terapeuci, mogą zapewnić indywidualne wsparcie dla osób doświadczających objawów psychologicznych związanych z chorobą Peyroniego.80
Poza interwencjami medycznymi, pacjenci mogą wprowadzić modyfikacje stylu życia, aby zarządzać chorobą Peyroniego:81
- Unikanie czynności, które pogarszają objawy
- Stosowanie lubrykantu podczas aktywności seksualnej
- Poszukiwanie wsparcia emocjonalnego lub poradnictwa
- Utrzymywanie zdrowych nawyków stylu życia, takich jak regularne ćwiczenia i zrównoważona dieta
Znaczenie wczesnej interwencji i specjalistycznej opieki
Wczesna interwencja ma kluczowe znaczenie w leczeniu choroby Peyroniego. Wizyty u urologa już na początku pojawienia się objawów są bardzo ważne, ponieważ nie tylko zwiększają szanse na skuteczne leczenie, ale także zapobiegają pogorszeniu się stanu.8283
Jeśli choroba jest leczona w ciągu 12-18 miesięcy od pierwszego pojawienia się objawów, może nie być konieczne przeprowadzenie operacji.84 Optymalne wyniki leczenia choroby Peyroniego są związane z opieką ze strony subspecjalistów urologicznych, którzy posiadają umiejętności w zakresie jej diagnozy, czasu odpowiednich interwencji oraz klinicznego i chirurgicznego opanowania pełnego zakresu opcji terapeutycznych, opieki pooperacyjnej i rekonwalescencji.85
W przypadku choroby Peyroniego większość zmian w penisie występuje w ciągu pierwszych 18 miesięcy. Po tym czasie pacjenci zwykle odczuwają mniej bólu, a ich krzywizna i blaszka stabilizują się.86 Jednak niektóre objawy (takie jak zaburzenia erekcji) mogą się z czasem pogarszać.87
Komunikacja z zespołem opieki zdrowotnej
Choć może być trudno rozmawiać o chorobie Peyroniego z lekarzem, otwarta i szczera rozmowa jest jedynym sposobem na uzyskanie pomocy.88 Osoby z chorobą Peyroniego mogą czuć się niechętne do rozmowy z lekarzem o swoich objawach, ale powinny pamiętać, że urolodzy prowadzą intymne rozmowy z mężczyznami każdego dnia.89
W większości przypadków urologiem będzie główny lekarz leczący chorobę Peyroniego. Zdiagnozuje on stan, przepisze leczenie i będzie śledził postępy.90 Urolog omówi z pacjentem opcje leczenia i zaleci jedną z nich na podstawie objawów, stopnia krzywizny penisa podczas erekcji, poziomu bólu i innych czynników, takich jak wpływ choroby na życie pacjenta.91
Warto przygotować się do wizyty, aby jak najlepiej wykorzystać czas spędzony z lekarzem.92 Pacjenci powinni dzielić się swoimi objawami, innymi zmianami w ciele i/lub obawami z lekarzem. Lekarz może przeprowadzić badanie fizykalne, zaplanować badania w razie potrzeby i skierować pacjenta do lekarza specjalizującego się w chorobie Peyroniego.93
Podsumowanie opieki w chorobie Peyroniego
Choroba Peyroniego, mimo że może wydawać się zniechęcająca, jest w pełni uleczalna.94 Istnieje wiele metod leczenia choroby Peyroniego, w tym iniekcje i operacje. Wczesne rozpoczęcie leczenia po zauważeniu objawów może poprawić rokowanie.95
Zespół opieki zdrowotnej skoncentrowany na pacjencie może pomóc w radzeniu sobie z fizycznymi i emocjonalnymi wyzwaniami związanymi z chorobą Peyroniego. Celem jest zachowanie funkcji nerwowej i prącia, eliminacja bólu i optymalizacja funkcji seksualnych.96
Choroba Peyroniego wpływa na każdą osobę inaczej, a leczenie powinno być dostosowane do indywidualnych potrzeb i celów pacjenta. Z odpowiednim wsparciem medycznym i emocjonalnym, osoby z chorobą Peyroniego mogą prowadzić satysfakcjonujące i aktywne życie seksualne.97

Peyronie disease occurs when the penis curves during an erection. This is most often due to a scar (plaque) that forms inside the penis. This plaque changes the smooth upward curve of the erect penis to look more kinked. The penile plaque is not the same plaque that can develop in a persons arteries. And it is not cancerous. […] In some people, the plaque shrinks and goes away on its own without treatment. If treatment is needed, the main goal is to ease pain and make the penis straight enough for sex. Pain is caused by an erection and the bending of the penis that follows. Peyronie disease is not contagious or caused by any transmittable disease. This means you can’t catch it from others. There are different kinds of treatment. The success of these treatments varies from person to person.

Peyronie disease occurs when the penis curves during an erection. This is most often due to a scar (plaque) that forms inside the penis. If treatment is needed, the main goal is to ease pain and make the penis straight enough for sex. Pain is caused by an erection and the bending of the penis that follows. Medicine is often tried for 1 to 2 years before other treatments are done. Your health care provider may prescribe nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) to help with pain. Other medicines may also help soften and shrink the plaque in the penis. Some medicines are taken by mouth (oral). And some are rubbed on the penis. Others may be injected into the plaque (intralesional injections) to reduce pain, reduce penile curving, and improve erectile function. These treatments can be done in your health care providers office. Oral medicines may also be prescribed to treat any symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED). Surgery is used in cases that cant be treated by other means. It may also be done for a severe curve in the penis or for severe pain that doesn’t stop. Your health care provider may recommend an ultrasound of your penis to find out the exact size and location of the plaque. Counseling may help you cope with the effects of the disease.

Men with Peyronies disease usually seek medical attention because of painful erections, penile deformity, or difficulty with intercourse. […] For most men with mild disease, providing education and reassurance is often all that is required. For patients with more severe Peyronies treatment may be necessary. […] Because the course of Peyronies disease is different in each patient and because most patients experience some improvement without treatment, medical experts suggest waiting 1 year or longer before having surgery. During that wait, anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or Co Q 10 may be helpful with the discomfort. […] Most types of surgery produce positive results. But because complications can occur, and because many of the effects of Peyronies disease for example, shortening of the penis are not usually corrected by surgery, most doctors prefer to perform surgery only on the small number of men with curvature severe enough to prevent sexual intercourse.
