“…3,15 Localized penile induration is equivalent to scar formation and leads in the majority of cases to penile curvature during erection. At least 30%, 20 and in our series 40.8% of those with Peyronie's disease suffer from erectile dysfunction because of pain or inability to achieve vaginal penetration.…”

“…In order to discriminate patients with and without ED, we divided the scores of the total scale into five comparable intervals. For the purpose of comparing our data to the data of Capelleri et al, 2 we adapted their diagnostically evaluated intervals indicating severe (sum score 1-10), moderate (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16), mildmoderate (17-21), mild (22-25) and no ED (26-30). Sensitivity, specificity and positive prediction were computed for optimal cutoff for the total scale and for the erectile function short scale.…”

“…11 In conformity with the standardized protocol used by our Peyronie's disease study group, a main inclusion criterion for the study was the evidence of a palpable dorsal penile plaque to define patients with Peyronie's disease. 12 Criteria for inclusion of all patients were (a) a stable heterosexual partnership and (b) at least one attempt of sexual intercourse over the last 4 weeks. The aetiology of ED included four patients with pure arteriogenic, four patients with venoocclusive, five patients with neurogenic, 10 patients with psychogenic, three patients with medical induced and 33 patients with mixed origin.…”

Validation of the German version of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) in patients with erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease and controls

et al. 2003

The objective of this study was to validate the German translation of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF). The IIEF was administered to 59 patients with erectile dysfunction (ED), to 38 patients with Peyronie's disease and to 33 controls. All patients were investigated by standardized German versions of international questionnaires of anxiety, depression, social desirability, quality of partnership, physical complaints and life-satisfaction. The five subscales of the English version, however, could not be replicated. Internal consistency for the complete questionnaire of 15 items was high (Cronbach's alpha ¼ 0.95). Based on the total scale and two subscales, we were able to discriminate sexual function between the ED group and the comparison groups. There was no significant correlation between the IIEF scores and anxiety, depression, somatic complaints and life-satisfaction. The German version of the IIEF has found good comprehension, and acceptance by the majority of patients. Its use is somewhat limited by its focus on sexual activity in partnership. In contrast to the English version, it mainly addresses a single factor of sexual function.

“…7,13,26 Sexual dysfunction is reported to be a part of presenting symptom complexes in 4 to 80% of Peyronie's patients in previously published series. 12,15 Although excessive angulation due to penile curvature, pain on erection, tenderness of the plaque and performance anxiety may all contribute to ED, it has been shown that penile vascular abnormalities are responsible for ED in 61 ± 70% of cases. 12,27 Veno-occlusive dysfunction (VOD) is reported to be present in 30 ± 86% and the role of arterial disease has also been shown in 44 ± 52% of Peyronie's patients with ED although it is not easy to determine the exact etiologic factor in every case.…”

Peyronie's disease in men under age 40: characteristics and outcome

et al. 2001

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Peyronie's disease is most commonly seen in the ®fth decade of life. However, a wide range of age (20 ± 83 y) is reported. During a 6-year period, men with Peyronie's disease presenting under the age of 40 were reviewed retrospectively and followed-up. The prevalence of Peyronie's patients presenting under age 40 was 8.2%. Their mean age was 32.47 AE 5.37 (range: 23 ± 39) y and 78.9% of them presented during the acute phase of the disease. Pain on erection was a part of presenting symptom complex in 52.6% and the majority (84%) had a degree of penile curvature`60 . Erectile dysfunction (ED) was present in 21% of patients, who responded well to intracavernous injection test. After a minimal 2-year follow-up, improvement in penile deformity was observed in 36.8%, and 42.1% had stable disease while 21% experienced deterioration of the penile curvature. The onset of Peyronie's disease is clinically more noisy and acute in patients presenting under age 40 and this forces the physicians to treat them more vigorously.
