Any discussion of prostate cancer is incomplete without mentioning a common side effect of surgical removal of the prostate; Peyronies Disease. This disease, for which there is no satisfactory treatment, results from formation of penile scar tissue, makes intercourse difficult or impossible and is often accompanied by excruciating pain. It was reported in the 02, June 2008, edition of Medical News Today that almost 20% of men developed this condition after removal of the prostate. A recent study of men undergoing this surgery revealed that none-zero percentage of these men knew about this side effect.

When I developed this condition, I was unaware that a disease like this even existed. In frustration, I started an informational website, www.curepeyronies.net Every email I get describes a man in a desperate situation with nowhere to turn. Urologists must do a better job of informing patients of this rather common side effect, so they will be able to give informed consent before undergoing treatment.
