title: Contemporary Review of Treatment Options for Peyronie's Disease.
abstract: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a penile wound-healing disorder resulting in fibrotic plaque in the tunica albuginea, likely resulting from micro trauma. Due to variable disease presentations, a myriad of proposed treatment options, physician misconceptions about the disorder, and severe psychological distress in afflicted patients, PD can be a difficult to manage entity. This review seeks to provide a current and comprehensive overview of oral, topical, intralesional, mechanical, and surgical therapies for PD.
