Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Recently two family members have been diagnosed with Pierones disease. Both brothers are in early 60's and both served in Vietnam. Their respective doctors at two VA hospitals said they are seeing this very often of late with regard to servicemen in Afghanistan and in their 20's. Is there an established correlation between service overseas and the occurance of this disease?
In addition, one brother has been dx in early stage, can it be "cured" or abated?
Environmental factors or working in a particular country does not cause Peyronie disease. The surgical correction will be the treatment of choice and you need an experienced urologist for beer results.
