What Is Peyronie’s Disease?

Peyronie’s Disease, also known as Chronic Inflammation of the Tunica Albuginea (CITA), is a disorder affecting the soft tissue of the penis, and is characterized by  plaque formations within the soft tissue resulting in sometimes painful penile curvature and indentations during an erection. Since blood does not properly flow through the fibrous plaque formations during an erection, the penis curves or indents toward the area of the plaque.

Peyronie’s Disease Diagnosis 

PD is most often diagnosed by a urologist conducting a physical exam of the flaccid penis.  Other tests such as ultrasounds and x-rays may be necessary to complete diagnosis and to determine the areas of soft tissue which require treatment.  If examination of the penis during an erection is necessary, the urologist may administer an injection to cause an erection, or request that the patient provide photos of his erect penis, taken at home.  One of the most significant problems with diagnosis of Peyronie’s Disease is the level of embarrassment and understandable anxiety associated with the necessary exams and the disease itself.

Peyronie’s Disease Assessment Device (P.D.A.D.™)

Peyronie’s Disease Assessment Device- P.D.A.D.™

To meet the challenges of diagnosing and tracking the treatment success of PD, and to ease the anxiety associated with the necessary exams, a new  device known as the P.D.A.D.™ is available for precisely measuring and evaluating the severity of Peyronie’s Disease. Designed for both patients and physicians, the  P.D.A.D.™ is the only device of its kind, and allows for easy and universal measurement of the degree of curvature of the penis, measurement of indentations, and measurement of penis length.

For physicians and patients, the P.D.A.D.™ provides a standard urology tool for evaluating, determining, and monitoring the progress of Peyronie’s Disease treatment options, and particularly for patients, the P.D.A.D.™, when used at home, provides a private method to track improvements in penile curvature.
