?Peyronie?s Disease: a case study with clinical implications? Eileen D. Fisher, MSN, RN, Susan P. Lofton, PhD, RNC, CNS, Theresa Hale, BSN, RN; When Norma, BSN, RN, LaVerne F. Grant, PhD, RN
Urologic Nursing, April 2008; www.suna.org)
Peyronie?s disease, a connective tissue disease in which fibrous plaques develop in the soft tissues of the penis, occurs in approximately 1% of men. Typically, patients seek treatment after experiencing painful erections and difficulty of sex, problems that can be very emotional and stressful. D. Eileen Fisher, and co-authors present a case study illustrating the clinical implications of Peyronie?s disease in April 2008 issue of Urologic Nursing.
It ?important that the patient?s sexual partners and maintain communication, the authors say, suggest and encourage nurses advice. Fisher and co-authors argue that education will help the patient manage symptoms that affect their quality of life.
The treatments often lead to long-term and may include medications, injections and surgery, which helps to decrease the size of the plaque, penile curvature and pain. The authors note that at present there is no research that documents medical treatment fully effective. They recommend further research to identify interventions that improve surgical results.
