Peyronie disease treated with ultrasound and hydrocortisone.

Abstract

Thirty patients with Peyronie disease were treated with ultrasound using hydrocortisone ointment as the conducting vehicle. Twenty-five patients completed at least one course of treatment. Of those 25, 19 had at least some benefit with evidence that multiple courses of treatment were more beneficial than a single course. We conclude that ultrasound with hydrocortisone is beneficial in relieving pain, relieving deviation, and reducing the size of the fibrous plaque. It has the advantages of being noninvasive, repeatable, and without any side effects.
