A random selection of 200 non-MSM PD patients was identified, who presented during the same time period. A prospective nonvalidated questionnaire was given to MSM PD patients for evaluation of psychosocial constructs.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A traumatic event leading to activation of PD was identified equally among MSM and non-MSM (P\u2009=\u20090.815). Most common recognized activators of PD among MSM were: penetrative sexual intercourse (22.2%), self-stimulation (11.1%). More MSM presented with the primary complaint of penile deformity, including narrowing, indentation, hourglass, and hinge (11.1% MSM vs. 1.0% non-MSM, P\u2009=\u20090.01). No differences in total curvature, erection grade were found (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05). PD had a negative effect on emotional status (89.0% MSM, 80.5% non-MSM, P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05) and intimate relationships (45.0% MSM, 64.0% non-MSM, P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05). Nonsurgical treatment was given to 88.9% MSM and 76.5% non-MSM (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05), and corrective surgery in 29.6% MSM and 25.0% non-MSM (P\u2009&amp;gt;\u20090.05). Of the 75.0% of MSM engaging in anal sex, 41.7% reported penetrative anal intercourse as the activator of PD. Among MSM, 31.3% experienced decreased libido, 50.0% decreased frequency of sexual activity, 92.9% were self-conscious about the appearance of their penis, and 92.9% were dissatisfied with the size of their penis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Few differences exist in the clinical presentation and treatments used between MSM and non-MSM PD patients. There was evidence of emotional distress in both groups. As a result, psychosexual assessment and treatment, when indicated, should be considered essential to the patient presenting with PD.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsm.12202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,16]],"date-time":"2013-05-16T13:49:51Z","timestamp":1368712191000},"page":"2077-2083","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Peyronie's Disease among Men Who Have Sex with Men: Characteristics, Treatment, and Psychosocial Factors"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Michael Ryan","family":"Farrell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology \u00a0 , Chicago, IL , USA"},{"name":"Rush University Medical Center \u00a0 , Chicago, IL , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher J.","family":"Corder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology \u00a0 , Omaha, NE , USA"},{"name":"University of Nebraska Medical Center \u00a0 , Omaha, NE , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laurence A.","family":"Levine","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology \u00a0 , Chicago, IL , USA"},{"name":"Rush University Medical Center \u00a0 , Chicago, IL , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024032601015572900_bb0010","first-page":"337","article-title":"Sur quelques obstaclesqui s\u00f3pposent \u00e0 l'\u00e9jaculation nautrelle de la semence","volume":"1","author":"de la Peyronie","year":"1743","journal-title":"Mem Acad Royale Chir"},{"key":"2024032601015572900_bb0015","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"670","DOI":"10.1093\/ajcp\/45.6.670","article-title":"Peyronie's disease","volume":"45","author":"Smith","year":"1966","journal-title":"Am J Clin Pathol"},{"key":"2024032601015572900_bb0020","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1231","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2012.02696.x","article-title":"Something is wrong with my penis shape!","volume":"9","author":"Shindel","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Sex Med"},{"issue":"6 Pt 1","key":"2024032601015572900_bb0025","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2350","DOI":"10.1097\/01.ju.0000127744.18878.f1","article-title":"Subjective and objective analysis of the prevalence of Peyronie's disease in a population of men presenting for prostate cancer screening","volume":"171","author":"Mulhall","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Urol"},{"key":"2024032601015572900_bb0030","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"727","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1464-4096.2001.02436.x","article-title":"The prevalence of Peyronie's disease: Results of a large survey","volume":"88","author":"Schwarzer","year":"2001","journal-title":"BJU Int"},{"key":"2024032601015572900_bb0035","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"540","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.ijir.3901247","article-title":"Incidentally diagnosed Peyronie's disease in men presenting with erectile dysfunction","volume":"16","author":"Kadioglu","year":"2004","journal-title":"Int J Impot Res"},{"key":"2024032601015572900_bb0040","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"518","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2010.02072.x","article-title":"Risk factors of Peyronie's disease.
