Patient's question:
In the hospital, after a thorough examination, the doctor said I have penile plaques. I want to know what will happen if I don't get treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, penile hardening syndrome is divided into several stages, including the injury stage, aseptic inflammation stage, fibrosis stage, nodule stage, and fibrosis stage. Once it reaches the fibrosis stage, it is very difficult to treat. In the early stages, there may be no symptoms because the condition develops slowly. In the later stages, symptoms such as premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction may reappear, making it difficult to complete sexual activity. It is recommended to seek treatment as early as possible. The best treatment window is within the first three months after clinical diagnosis. Currently, most hospitals do not treat this condition. It is advised to adopt traditional Chinese medicine methods, such as using blood-activating and stasis-dispersing herbal injections or decoctions for anesthesia or conditioning treatment.
