Description
Peyronie disease bends the penis through scar tissue, and the size of the bend guides treatment choices. Majken Wiborg and co-authors check how reliably doctors measure that bend in a 2025 study.
Four skilled urologists each measured bend in 22 patients from photo sets taken at home and in the clinic after an injection that causes erection. Agreement between the doctors was high across all sets. The team also tested whether drawing a guide line on photos improved the match, since no standard method exists yet. Reliable measurement matters because small errors can shift a patient between watchful waiting, injections, and surgery. The study supports photo-based checks while a shared protocol is built.
