AndroTherm application for "La Peyronie" disease

2013 
La Peyronie disease ( Induratio penis plastic ), is a developmental condition with acquired fibrotic changes and development of a fibrous plaque (fibrous inelastic scar) on the tunica albuginea of the penis. The Peyronie disease is mostly observable at the men of their middle ages ( 50-60 years ) in Caucasian race (1). The prevalence, commonly reported, is about 3-9% (2), but according to the autopsy statistics the disease would be present in more than 20% of men (3). It can also be an asymptomatic finding in almost 4% of male population seeking medical attention (4, 5). In general the men, 40-60 aged, are affected by Peyronie’s disease in 2-3% (6). We think in fact that shame, fear and poor possibilities of healing (WEBSITE) are the main causes of reduced demand for medical consultation, although it also causes unpleasant side effects such as not agree to the modifications of the penis, reduction of self-esteem, impaired job performances, increased interpersonal conflicts and depression. Now, thanks to the many sources of information, the patient is aware of the limited possibilities of therapy and knows perfectly well that there is little chance of spontaneous recovery (15% of second Mulhall) (7).
