title: Penile Mondor disease and its effect on erectile function: results of 30 patients.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the treatment outcomes among patients diagnosed with penile Mondor disease and to evaluate the effect of the disease on erectile function.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of 30 patients diagnosed with penile Mondor disease were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent physical examination and penile Doppler ultrasonography and filled in the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire at regular intervals. Pharmacotherapy was started when penile Mondor disease was diagnosed. After the data were confirmed to be normally distributed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the differences between the 3 IIEF-5 scores were evaluated using repeated measures analysis of variance and post hoc Bonferroni tests.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The mean age of the patients was 34.3 years (range, 25-48 years). Ten patients had prolonged sexual intercourse, 4 had recent intestinal infection history, 2 had recent long-haul flights, 1 had sickle cell anemia, and 2 had penile trauma caused by sexual intercourse. Nine patients were considered idiopathic. Mean IIEF-5 scores at the baseline and at 1- and 2-month follow-ups were 20.87, 20.07, and 20.93, respectively. Although no significant difference was found between the baseline and the 2-month follow-up IIEF-5 scores, significant differences between the baseline and the 1-month (P = .004) and the 1- and 2-month follow-up IIEF-5 scores (P = .0001) were detected.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Penile Mondor disease is a rare complication that can be successfully treated with medical therapy and conservative approach. Our series showed that penile Mondor's disease does not lead to permanent deformation of the penis or erectile dysfunction.
