Can Peyronies be caused by Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
- Developed Peyronie’s Disease after the 3rd of 3 failed Transurethral Resections in 4 months in 2006. Is this common? What help short of surgery? Use a VED device already–thanks GWJ

- Good morning George,
- This is not common, but certainly I have seen this on a few occasions. With Peyronie’s there may be also associated loss of length, plaque, waist banding of the circumference, erectile dysfunction and pain. The treatment options are many and with every one there are some responders.
- We have also seen erectile dysfunction following TURP, and of course urinary incontinence.
- The vacuum erection device (VED) is a 2 edged sword as pooling of blood in the penis without adequate oxygenation may cause atrophy and injury to your delicate spongy erectile tissue.
- I would be pleased to discuss in depth the any options available to you after you initiate a consultation with our office.
-
- With kindest regards,
- Harold M. Reed, M.D.
