In this episode we discuss Peyronies disease, a condition faced by about 10% of men. Peyronies disease can cause pain, erectile dysfunction and, for some men, a complete inability to have sex. But what exactly is Peyronies disease and what causes the condition? How do you know if you have it? Does Peyronies disease always require treatment? What are the treatment options and how well do they work? To answer these questions and many more, we turned to a true expert.
