title: A review of the epidemiology and treatment of Peyronie's disease.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Peyronie's disease (PD) has significant effect on patients and their partners. We provide a current review of the epidemiology as well as the nonsurgical and surgical treatment of PD.
  
  
  METHODS
  Review of literature pertaining to PD with focus on epidemiology and treatment options.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  PD is common and likely underreported. The availability of new and highly effective treatment options will catalyze patient awareness and subsequently the prevalence of disease.
