Common penile problems.
A variety of penile problems are commonly seen by primary care physicians. This article reviews the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of congenital conditions such as hypospadias, chordee, webbed and buried penis, duplicated urethra, ambiguous genitalia, and micropenis. Acquired emergent conditions, including minor trauma and paraphimosis, are also discussed, with a particular emphasis on initial evaluation and management. Conditions associated with erectile dysfunction, including priapism and Peyronie disease, are reviewed.
