1. Peyronie's disease is calcification within the corpora of the penis [caused by scar tissue along the length of the penis, causing the penis to bend:making intercourse difficult, poor and painful erection. ] thus no alternative treatment will correct the deformity although may/ might alleviate the symptoms, since there is no single good treatment available.
2. You should avoid woman on top position while having intercourse, and if you have not improved with medications then you may have to consider surgical options.
PS. A new drug approved by FDA for Peyronie's disease is Xiaflex which is believed to work by breaking down the scar tissue that causes the curvature. The drug involves injections to the penis and scar tissue.
