Epidemiology of Peyronie's Disease
No full textEpidemiological studies of Peyronie's disease (PD) reported the prevalence of this condition as much higher than once thought, highlighting the potential physical and psychosocial impact of the disease on society. For this reason, knowledge of the epidemiology of PD is important for allocating and managing health care resources and assessing intervention strategies. The true prevalence of PD is unknown; it is estimated as between 3.7% and 7.1%, but the actual prevalence of this disease may be higher because of patients' reluctance to report this embarrassing condition to their physicians for cultural and psychological reasons. Several risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and smoking, have been suggested. The estimated prevalence of PD at younger ages is around 8% and shows a more acute onset and a lower incidence of associated erectile dysfunction. This chapter reviews the contemporary state of knowledge of the epidemiology of PD

Emergencies usually present with pain and short onset time while malign lesions are usually palpated as smooth, solid, painless masses. Hydrocele is the abnormal collection of serous fluids encapsulated between tunica albuginea and vaginalis of the testis. Hydrocele might be primary or occur secondary to trauma, infection, epididymitis, or tumours. Although physical examination is enough for diagnosis, ultrasound should be performed for malignancy exclusion. Surgery is gold standard for young patients with cosmetic problems, discomfort, disability due to hydrocele, and has high success and low complication rates. Alternative treatments such as tetracycline or polidocanol may be considered for patients with high anaesthesia risk.</p
