A curved erection caused by Peyronie's disease may happen because of a problem in the way the body heals after an injury (a connective tissue disorder).<\/p>

When this happens, the body doesn't properly control how much scar tissue develops and too much builds up gradually. A bump of scar tissue forms under the skin of the penis. This bump is called a Peyronie's plaque.<\/p>

Peyronie's disease is unlikely to go away on its own, and may get worse over time.<\/p>

Erectile curvature can vary greatly from man to man. You could have Peyronie's disease with a curve ranging anywhere from 15 degrees to more than 90 degrees.<\/p>

XIALFEX\u00ae<\/sup> is administered via injection into the penis, and is indicated to treat adult men with Peyronie's disease who have a \"plaque\" that can be felt and a curve in their penis greater than 30 degrees when treatment is started.<\/p>
