PEYRONIE’S DISEASE
Peryonie’s disease presents as a deformity in the penis such as a ‘bend’ which may point up, down, or to either side or the penis may have an ‘hourglass’ appearance. The prevalence of peyronie’s varies with rates between 0.4-20.3% of men. Peyronie’s can occur due to trauma to the penis. Peyronie’s disease is more common in men who have diabetes or erectile dysfunction, in men who smoke, drink excessively and in men who have had pelvic surgery, such as prostatectomy. Peyronie’s disease is also more common in men who have dupuytren’s contracture.
