There has been multiple studies that have shown that Peyronie's disease can actually be treated with injections of platelet rich plasma. The platelets that come from your blood that the doctor will harvest out of your blood and from a centrifuge and then re inject it again into that knot that was causing the curvature to be smaller and to break up the knot. It has been shown in multiple studies that it has worked and that you don't have to live with it. But if the curvature is significant and it does not go away with using platelet rich plasma and a combination of shockwave therapy, then you should consider a surgery.
