Iontophoresis There is insufficient evidence to support the use of verapamil iontophoresis for the treatment of patients with Peyronie's disease. Cabello Benavente and colleagues (2005) assessed the effects of transdermal iontophoresis with verapamil and DEX in patients with Peyronie's disease of less than 1 year of evolution.

Penile Curvature (Peyronie's Disease) The scar tissue builds up and forms a plaque inside the penis. The plaque reduces the elasticity of tissues and flexibility of the penis during erection, leading to curvature. The plaque may further harden because of calcification––the process in which calcium builds up in body tissue.

Tay-Sachs Disease Back to Top Causes. Tay-Sachs disease occurs when the body lacks hexosaminidase A, a protein that helps break down a chemical found in nerve tissue called gangliosides. Without this protein, gangliosides, particularly ganglioside GM2, build up in cells, especially nerve cells in the brain.ay-Sachs disease is caused by a defective gene on chromosome 15. When both parents carry the defective Tay-Sachs gene, a child has a 25% chance of developing the disease. The child must receive two copies of the defective gene -- one from each parent -- in order to become sick.

Overview Inflammation caused by rheumatic fever can last a few weeks to several months. In some cases, the inflammation causes long-term complications. Rheumatic heart disease is permanent damage to the heart caused by rheumatic fever. It usually occurs 10 to 20 years after the original illness. Problems are most common with the valve between the two left chambers of the heart (mitral valve), but the other valves can be affected. The damage can result in:

Marfan Syndrome Marfan syndrome most often affects the connective tissue of the heart and blood vessels, eyes, bones, lungs, and covering of the spinal cord. Because the condition affects many parts of the body, it can cause many complications.Sometimes the complications are life threatening.arfan syndrome is a genetic disorder. A mutation, or change, in the gene that controls how the body makes fibrillin causes Marfan syndrome. Fibrillin is a protein that plays a major role in your body's connective tissue.

What Causes Peyronieâs Disease? Peyronie's disease is likely caused by minor injury to the penis. (See penile trauma.) This type of damage is most often caused by vigorous sex (such as bending the penis during penetration or pressure from a partner's pubic bone), though it can also be caused by sports or other accidents.

Overview Eisenmenger syndrome, a type of congenital heart disease, causes pulmonary hypertension. It's most commonly caused by a large hole in your heart between the two lower heart chambers (ventricles), called a ventricular septal defect. This hole in your heart causes blood to circulate abnormally in your heart.

What Is Peyronie's Disease? Some medications list Peyronie's disease as a possible side effect. But there is no proof that these drugs cause the condition. Who Gets Peyronie's Disease? Although it mostly happens in middle-aged men, younger and older men can get it. It becomes more common as a man gets older. But it’s not a normal part of aging.

What Is Peyronie's Disease? Peyronie's disease is penis problem caused by scar tissue, called plaque, that forms inside the penis. It can result in a bent, rather than straight, erect penis. Most men with Peyronie's disease can still have sex. But for some, it can be painful and cause erectile dysfunction. Depending on the symptoms, you may opt for observation, medical or surgical treatments. What Causes Peyronie's Disease? Doctors don’t know exactly why Peyronie's disease happens.

Cause of Peyronies: Plaque and a Bent Penile Shaft We know that one cause of Peyronies disease is overt trauma to the erect penis. This can range from painful unexpected angulation during sex, to actual rupture of the corpora cavernosa, an even that produces immediate loss of the erection and subsequent severe swelling.

Prader-Willi Syndrome Most cases of Prader-Willi syndrome are not inherited, particularly those caused by a deletion in the paternal chromosome 15 or by maternal uniparental disomy. These genetic changes occur as random events during the formation of reproductive cells (eggs and sperm) or in early embryonic development.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease - Cause Pelvic Inflammatory Disease - Cause. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is caused by bacteria entering the reproductive organs through the cervix. When the cervix is infected, bacteria from the vagina can more easily get into and infect the uterus and fallopian tubes.

Overview Causes. Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder, a condition caused by an error in one or more genes. Although the exact genes responsible for Prader-Willi syndrome haven't been identified, the problem lies in a particular region of chromosome 15.rader-Willi syndrome disrupts the normal functions of a portion of the brain called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus controls hunger and thirst and releases hormones that prompt the release of other substances responsible for growth and sexual development.

Peyronie's Disease (Curvature of the Penis) Peyronie's disease (also termed Peyronie disease) is the development of scar tissue inside the penis that causes the penis to develop abnormal curvature (contracture) in the scarred area. The disease may occur in about 1% to 8% of men, most frequently in men aged about 40 to 70 years old.

- A lack of proteolipid protein 1 and DM20 can cause dysmyelination, which can impair nervous system function, resulting in the signs and symptoms of Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease. It is estimated that 5 percent to 20 percent of people with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease do not have identified mutations in the PLP1 gene.
