Лечение болезни Пейрони

Peyronie's disease is a serious problem in modern medicine. That's why further study of this disease, development of new and effective therapeutic methods, and their application in the real clinical practice are required. This problem is becoming especially actual because of the disease case increase during the last years. At present, sickness rate of the male population comprises 1-2% or 388 cases out of 100000 people. In this article we suggest the literature review on this topic (causes, clinical features, stages, possible complications, diagnostic methods, conservative and surgical methods of treatment). We have also provided the results of a 10-year research (from 1996 till 2005, 99 cases) in which we have evaluated the treatment of this pathology, have analyzed the correlation between the results of treatment and the number of performed therapy courses, initial size of plaques, how early a patient has applied for medical help, and application of different methods of medical therapy and physiotherapy. We have evaluated the long term results of the treatment. On the basis of our research results, we offer the most effective scheme of this pathology treatment.
