What Is Peyronie's Disease?
6. Further Procedures
If the Peyronie’s disease patient also has associated erectile dysfunction, a duplex ultrasonography with intracavernous injections of a vasoactive agent can be beneficial to help identify the underlying issue. This procedure is popular to assess the extent of the plaque, assess the deformity in the shaft, and penile angulation.
In a study involving 81 men with Peyronie’s disease, it was found that 54% overestimated the degree of curvature, 26% underestimated it, and 20% correctly estimated it to within 5?. This study emphasized that proper measurement of penile angulation is needed to accurately counsel patients and assess treatment outcome.
