When are medications prescribed?

Medications are usually considered if the curve is still mild, if you aren’t able or don’t want to have surgery, or if you want to try treatment first. They may help with discomfort, but most cannot make the curve completely straight or stop the plaque from forming.

Medications can be given in different ways: taken by mouth, injected into the penis, or applied to the skin.
