Although long recognised as an important clinical entity of the male genitalia, the aetiology of this disease has remained poorly understood. Methods: The epidemiology and clinical presentation of Peyronie\u2019s disease during a 10-year period was evaluated. Results: Forty-two men with Peyronie\u2019s disease from Chandigarh, India were reviewed retrospectively. The prevalence of Peyronie\u2019s patients was 1.97\/1000 patients. Their ages ranged from 23 to 70 years. Most of them presented during the early phase of the disease. The most common presenting complaint was penile curvature in 34 (80.95%) followed by pain on erection in 28 (66.66%). History of penile trauma was revealed by four (9.52%) patients. Among the risk factors, hypercholesterolemia (60%), hypertension (33.3%) and asymptomatic hyperuricemia (28.34%) were the most common. Twenty-two patients with Peyronie\u2019s disease were studied by ultrasonography. Ultrasonogram was more accurate than clinical assessment in delineating the extent of lesions. In one-third of the patients, sonography demonstrated the plaques to be more extensive than had been detected by clinical examination. Conclusions: The clinical symptoms and signs in our study were, in general, similar to those found in the previous studies. Higher incidence of hypertension and diabetes in patients with Peyronie\u2019s disease may also be to an extent due to patients being in an older age group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh05031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,11,19]],"date-time":"2006-11-19T19:57:55Z","timestamp":1163966275000},"page":"113-118","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["A clinico-aetiological and ultrasonographic study of Peyronie\u2019s disease"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Bhushan","family":"Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ADepartment of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology and Department of Radiology, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh 160 012, India."},{"name":"BCorresponding author.
