Prevalence of Peyronie's Disease-Like Symptoms in Men Presenting With Dupuytren Contractures.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Peyronie's disease (PD) and Dupuytren contractures (DC) are often comorbid and are believed to have a similar underlying pathophysiologic mechanism.

Aim

To investigate the prevalence of PD-like symptoms (PDLS) in men with DC.

Methods

From October 2013 to December 2016, men who were seen and evaluated for DC were offered the opportunity to participate in an anonymous survey. The survey assessed several basic demographic and sexual health factors and included items from the International Index of Erectile Function and the Erection Hardness Scale. Men who reported PDLS were asked a series of questions derived from the Peyronie's Disease Questionnaire and for their opinions on theoretical treatment modalities for sexual problems and penile deformity.
