Peyronie's disease is a medical condition characterized by an abnormal curvature of the penis, which presents a poorly understood pathophysiology, featuring abnormal fibroblasts of the tunica albuginea secondary to trauma or stemming from congenital causes. Currently, there are multiple therapeutic options, such as oral pharmacological treatments that either report poor results or partial improvements, as well as intralesional therapies viewed as controversial and surgery as a therapeutic choice. However, this can be implemented once the disease is in its stable phase. A number of alternatives can be elected regarding the needs and symptoms of patients.
