Percentage of subjects in each group who attain degree change in penile curvature.
Treatment efficacy of PRP will be assessed via the percentage of participants achieving degree change in penile curvature from baseline. Degree of curvature will be measured using a goniometer with the aid of injection of vasoactive substance into the penis.
Time frame: 7 months
Percentage of subjects achieving any decrease in PDQ sub-domain scores (Psychological and Physical Symptoms, Symptom Bother).
Treatment efficacy will be assessed via the percentage of participants achieving any decrease in Peyronie's disease Questionnaire (PDQ) sub-domain scoring from baseline. The sub-domains that will be assessed in primary outcome is Psychological and Physical Symptoms and Symptom Bother. PDQ is a validated 15-item questionnaire that assess Psychological and Physical Symptoms, Symptom Bother, and Penile Pain subdomains. The Psychological and Physical Symptoms subdomain is measured from 0 to 24 (most severe symptoms). Symptom Bother subdomain is measured from 0 to 30 (most severe pain).
Time frame: 7 months
Incidence of adverse events in all patients
Safety will be evaluated via the incidence of adverse events as assessed by treating physician
Time frame: Baseline, 6 months (post-intervention)
