Peyronie’s Disease

v1.2
 
Introduction
Peyronie’s Disease is a benign penile condition characterised by curvature of the penile shaft secondary to the formation of fibrous tissue plaques within the tunica albuginea.

Content
The HWE ICB do not routinely fund treatment for Peyronie’s disease. If there is no functional impairment that prevents intercourse then it is primarily considered to be cosmetic condition and is therefore low priority.

Funding for surgery will be assessed via the Prior Approval process where the following criteria apply:
  • The disease is in the stable phase
    AND
  • Conservative measures have failed or are not possible due to clinical reasons.
    AND
  • Severe disease that makes intercourse not possible

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy will not be funded due to inadequate evidence of efficacy. Collegenase clostridium histolyticum is no longer available in the UK.

Patients who are not eligible for treatment under this policy may be considered on an individual basis where their GP or consultant believes exceptional circumstances exist that warrant deviation from the rule of this policy. Individual cases will be reviewed as per the ICB policy.
