Summary of, “Beyond Curvature: Prevalence and Characteristics of Penile Volume-Loss Deformities in Men With Peyronie’s Disease”

Hourglass / Indentation / By /

–Trost Commentary and Key Take-home Points– This current study highlights how common issues such as indentations, hourglass deformities, or other similar findings are among men with Peyronie’s Disease.  These types of deformities can be particularly bothersome for individuals as they may cause buckling, instability, or anxiety for men during penetrative intercourse (i.e. fear of instability […]

Summary of "How Atypical Penile Curvature Influence Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Peyronie’s Disease Receiving Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum Therapy?"

Injectables, Peyronie's Disease, Treatments / By /

—Dr. Trost Commentary and Key Take-home Points—  The current manuscript evaluates the efficacy of Xiaflex in improving curvature in men with less common deformities, including those with downward curvatures, hourglass deformity, or decreased penile length.  Not surprisingly, results showed that the therapy is indeed able to improve curvature in these conditions as well.  In our own experience, we

Summary of "Peyronie’s Disease is Common in Poorly Controlled Diabetics but is not Associated with Metabolic Syndrome"

Epidemiology / By /

—Dr. Trost’s Commentary and Key Take-home Points— The current study provides some additional valuable information on conditions associated with Peyronie’s Disease.  Specifically, the authors found that diabetes is clearly correlated with the condition, but other diagnoses, including hypertension, obesity, high cholesterol, smoking, or metabolic syndrome are not clearly associated.  Although this information is not new,

Summary of “The Effectiveness of 3-D Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Penile Deformities in Patients with Peyronie’s Disease: A Pilot Study”

Imaging / By /

—Dr. Trost Commentary and Key Take-home Points— The best method for objectively evaluating penile curvature and deformity is an office-based assessment following injection of a medication to result in an erection. Other methods of assessment, including patient self assessment, home photography, CT imaging, 3d photography, and app-based assessments all fail to achieve as consistent results
