Vivaan Patel, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Vivaan Patel, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been active and healthy. Over the past 18 months, he noticed a gradual, painful curvature during erections that made intimacy with his wife increasingly difficult and anxiety-inducing. A distinct, hard plaque had formed on the left side of his penis. After months of silent worry and strained intimacy, he confided in his primary care doctor, who referred him to an andrologist. The specialist confirmed Peyronie's disease and, after a period of monitoring showed the condition was stable but causing significant functional and psychological distress, recommended a minimally invasive procedure: Xiaflex® collagenase injections. Vivaan underwent a series of injections in the clinic. The injections were uncomfortable, and he had to perform specific penile modeling exercises at home, which felt awkward but necessary. Over the following months, the curvature improved by about 40%. While not perfectly straight, the reduction was enough to restore comfortable sexual function. Emotionally, Vivaan journeyed from shame and isolation, feeling his masculinity was broken, to profound relief and regained confidence. Opening up to his wife about the process brought them closer, and he felt like a partner in his health again.
