Effect of Modified Vacuum in Patients with Peyronie’s Disease and Erectile Dysfunction

Introduction Peyronie's disease (PD) is a penile disease that is characterized by penile pain, curvature, shortening, and plaque in the penis which usually ends up in erectile dysfunction (ED). This study is to assess the efficacy of modified vacuum therapy in patients with PD and ED. The basi...
