With so few treatments available for Peyronie's Disease, many men eventually turn to alternative treatments such as vitamins, herbs and Chinese medicine to relieve their symptoms. As with "traditional" medications for Peyronie's Disease, success seems to come on an individual basis. What works for one man may not work for another. Likewise, what one man finds completely ineffective may greatly improve the condition in a person with a different metabolism and/or medical history. The purpose of this forum is to share our experiences and hopefully find treatments that can lessen the severity of the condition while we work for a cure.
It is VERY IMPORTANT to note that some of these treatments can have side effects and drug interaction precautions, just like regular medications. Any man undergoing a drug regimen for any medical condition MUST consult their physician before beginning any alternative treatments. This is plain common sense. If you begin any alternative treatment and notice negative side effects, stop immediately and consult your physician.
We also strongly recommend that you research what you are taking and what effects it has before beginning any vitamin or herbal regimen. Ask your pharmacist or herbalist about the supplement, how it works and what the proper dosage is (again making sure to discuss how it may interact with any prescription drugs you may be taking). READ THE LABEL CAREFULLY FOR ANY WARNINGS. The better educated you are, the less the chance for any complications down the road.
