Abstract

The paper presents the overview data and the results of various researches regarding the epidemiology, medical history and therapy of Peyronie's disease (PD). PD is a common disease, but the etiology of this disease remains to be elucidated. There are many treatment options but not all are effective. A review was undertaken of the epidemiological status problems, as well as non-surgical and surgical methods of treatment of PD. The emergence of the new and highly effective treatments can help to improve the awareness of patients and, consequently, to reduce the prevalence of the disease.
