Doctor Diagnosed For Krust Disease. Gradual Curve In Penis. Injections Worked But Stressful. New Treatment?

My husband and I are very much in love and a great team we love being together. We also have not had sex for for over 8 years. He is 64 I am 57. The doctor said he had krust ? Disease. It started about 20 years ago. Saw a gradual curve in penis. Then difficult to no erectile function at all. Pills no affect. Injections worked but stressful for him.
Is this disease a circulatory problem. Is there anything new. Thank you

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Peyronie's disease is a condition where there is gradual curvature of the penis.It occurs because of fibrous plaques that form in the penis.
These plaques cause the curvature, erectile dysfunction, shortening of the penis, discomfort and pain.

It is not related to the circulation.

There are different treatment available and the effectiveness varies.

Some examples are vitamin E, PABA, colchicine, various injection therapies and surgery.

He can consider consulting a urologist for the best treatment option.

I hope this helps
