Peyronie's disease Peyronie's disease is a medical condition characterized by the

development of a lump on the shaft of the penis. This lump is a scar (plaque) that forms on the lining (tunica) of the erectile body (corpus cavernosum) and is believed to be the result of injury to the penis.This also results in severe angulations of penis and prevents patient from participating in normal sexual intercourse.

Researchers are investigating new approaches for Peyronie's Disease

(PD). Since PD is known to respond better to treatment in the earlier stages of the disease, an early trial of inexpensive, safe and well-tolerated oral therapy is often initially recommended. Additional research is needed to understand this disease and develop new therapeutic regimes.

Surgical therapies for the correction of angulations: Nesbit’s procedures:
