What is Peyronie's disease?
Peyronie's disease is a disorder in which scar tissue, called a plaque, forms in the penis—the male organ used for urination and sex. The plaque builds up inside the tissues of a thick, elastic membrane called the tunica albuginea. The most common area for the plaque is on the top or bottom of the penis. As the plaque builds up, the penis will curve or bend, which can cause painful erections. Curves in the penis can make sexual intercourse painful, difficult, or impossible. Peyronie's disease begins with inflammation, or swelling, which can become a hard scar.
The plaque that develops in Peyronie's disease is not the same plaque that can develop in a person's arteries. The plaque seen in Peyronie's disease is benign, or noncancerous, and is not a tumor. Peyronie's disease is not contagious or caused by any known transmittable disease.
Early researchers thought Peyronie's disease was a form of impotence, now called erectile dysfunction (ED). ED happens when a man is unable to achieve or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Some men with Peyronie's disease may have ED. Usually men with Peyronie's disease are referred to a urologist—a doctor who specializes in sexual and urinary problems.
How does an erection occur?
An erection occurs when blood flow increases into the penis, making it expand and become firm. Two long chambers inside the penis, called the corpora cavernosa, contain a spongy tissue that draws blood into the chambers. The spongy tissue contains smooth muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. The tunica albuginea encases the corpora cavernosa. The urethra, which is the tube that carries urine and semen outside of the body, runs along the underside of the corpora cavernosa in the middle of a third chamber called the corpus spongiosum.
An erection requires a precise sequence of events:
- An erection begins with sensory or mental stimulation, or both. The stimulus may be physical contact or a sexual image or thought.
- When the brain senses a sexual urge, it sends impulses to local nerves in the penis that cause the muscles of the corpora cavernosa to relax. As a result, blood flows in through the arteries and fills the spaces in the corpora cavernosa like water filling a sponge.
- The blood creates pressure in the corpora cavernosa, making the penis expand.
- The tunica albuginea helps trap the blood in the corpora cavernosa, thereby sustaining the erection.
- The erection ends after climax or after the sexual urge has passed. The muscles in the penis contract to stop the inflow of blood. The veins open and the extra blood flows out of the penis and back into the body.
What causes Peyronie's disease?
Medical experts do not know the exact cause of Peyronie's disease. Many believe that Peyronie's disease may be the result of
- acute injury to the penis
- chronic, or repeated, injury to the penis
- autoimmune disease—a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks the body's own cells and organs
Injury to the Penis
Medical experts believe that hitting or bending the penis may injure the tissues inside. A man may injure the penis during sex, athletic activity, or an accident. Injury ruptures blood vessels, which leads to bleeding and swelling inside the layers of the tunica albuginea. Swelling inside the penis will block blood flow through the layers of tissue inside the penis. When the blood can't flow normally, clots can form and trap immune system cells. As the injury heals, the immune system cells may release substances that lead to the formation of too much scar tissue. The scar tissue builds up and forms a plaque inside the penis. The plaque reduces the elasticity of tissues and flexibility of the penis during erection, leading to curvature. The plaque may further harden because of calcification––the process in which calcium builds up in body tissue.
Autoimmune Disease
Some medical experts believe that Peyronie's disease may be part of an autoimmune disease. Normally, the immune system is the body's way of protecting itself from infection by identifying and destroying bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful foreign substances. Men who have autoimmune diseases may develop Peyronie's disease when the immune system attacks cells in the penis. This can lead to inflammation in the penis and can cause scarring. Medical experts do not know what causes autoimmune diseases. Some of the autoimmune diseases associated with Peyronie's disease affect connective tissues. Connective tissue is specialized tissue that supports, joins, or separates different types of tissues and organs of the body.
How common is Peyronie's disease?
Researchers estimate that Peyronie's disease may affect 1 to 23 percent of men between 40 and 70 years of age.1 However, the actual occurrence of Peyronie's disease may be higher due to men's embarrassment and health care providers' limited reporting.1 The disease is rare in young men, although it has been reported in men in their 30s.1 The chance of developing Peyronie's disease increases with age.2
Who is more likely to develop Peyronie's disease?
The following factors may increase a man's chance of developing Peyronie's disease:
- vigorous sexual or nonsexual activities that cause microscopic injury to the penis
- certain connective tissue and autoimmune disorders
- a family history of Peyronie's disease
- aging
Vigorous Sexual and Nonsexual Activities
Men whose sexual or nonsexual activities cause microscopic injury to the penis are more likely to develop Peyronie's disease.
Connective Tissue and Autoimmune Disorders
Men who have certain connective tissue and autoimmune disorders may have a higher chance of developing Peyronie's disease. A common example is a condition known as Dupuytren's disease, an abnormal cordlike thickening across the palm of the hand. Dupuytren's disease is also known as Dupuytren's contracture. Although Dupuytren's disease is fairly common in older men, only about 15 percent of men with Peyronie's disease will also have Dupuytren's disease.2 Other connective tissue disorders associated with Peyronie's disease include
- plantar fasciitis––inflammation of the plantar fascia, thick tissue on the bottom of the foot that connects the heel bone to the toes and creates the arch of the foot
- scleroderma––abnormal growth of connective tissue, causing it to get thick and hard; scleroderma can cause swelling or pain in muscles and joints
Autoimmune disorders associated with Peyronie's disease include
- systemic lupus erythematosus––inflammation and damage to various body tissues, including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain
- Sjögren's syndrome––inflammation and damage to the glands that make tears and saliva
- Behcet's syndrome––inflammation of the blood vessels
Family History of Peyronie's Disease
Medical experts believe that Peyronie's disease may run in some families. For example, a man whose father or brother has Peyronie's disease may have an increased chance of getting the disease.
The chance of getting Peyronie's disease increases with age. Age-related changes in the elasticity of tissues in the penis may cause it to be more easily injured and less likely to heal well.
What are the signs and symptoms of Peyronie's disease?
The signs and symptoms of Peyronie's disease may include
- hard lumps on one or more sides of the penis
- pain during sexual intercourse or during an erection
- a curve in the penis either with or without an erection
- narrowing or shortening of the penis
Symptoms of Peyronie's disease range from mild to severe. Symptoms may develop slowly or appear quickly. In many cases, the pain decreases over time, although the curve in the penis may remain. In milder cases, symptoms may go away without causing a permanent curve.
What are the complications of Peyronie's disease?
Complications of Peyronie's disease may include
- the inability to have sexual intercourse
- anxiety, or stress, about sexual abilities or the appearance of the penis
- stress on a relationship with a sexual partner
- problems fathering a child because intercourse is difficult
How is Peyronie's disease diagnosed?
A urologist diagnoses Peyronie's disease based on
- a medical and family history
- a physical exam
- imaging tests
Medical and Family History
Taking a medical and family history is one of the first things a urologist may do to help diagnose Peyronie's disease. He or she will ask the man to provide a medical and family history, which may include the following questions:
- What is the man's ability to have an erection?
- What are the problems with sexual intercourse?
- When did the symptoms begin?
- What is the family medical history?
- What medications is the man taking?
- What other symptoms is the man experiencing?
- What other medical conditions does the man have?
Physical Exam
A physical exam may help diagnose Peyronie's disease. During a physical exam, a urologist usually examines the man's body, including the penis.
A urologist can usually feel the plaque in the penis with or without an erection. Sometimes the urologist will need to examine the penis during an erection. The urologist will give the man an injectable medication to cause an erection.
Imaging Tests
To help pinpoint the location of the plaque buildup inside the penis, a urologist may perform
- ultrasound of the penis
- an x ray of the penis
For both tests, a specially trained technician performs the procedure in a health care provider's office, an outpatient center, or a hospital, and a radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging—interprets the images. The patient does not need anesthesia.
Ultrasound. Ultrasound uses a device, called a transducer, that bounces safe, painless sound waves off organs to create an image of their structure.
X ray. An x ray is a picture created by using radiation and recorded on film or on a computer. The amount of radiation used is small. The man will lie on a table or stand during the x ray, and the technician may ask the man to change positions for additional pictures.
How is Peyronie's disease treated?
A urologist may treat Peyronie's disease with nonsurgical treatments or surgery.
The goal of treatment is to reduce pain and restore and maintain the ability to have intercourse. Men with small plaques, minimal penile curvature, no pain, and satisfactory sexual function may not need treatment until symptoms get worse. Peyronie's disease often resolves on its own without treatment.
A urologist may recommend changes in a man's lifestyle to reduce the risk of ED associated with Peyronie's disease.
Nonsurgical Treatments
Nonsurgical treatments include medications and medical therapies.
Medications. A urologist may prescribe medications aimed at decreasing a man's penile curvature, plaque size, and inflammation. A man may take prescribed medications to treat Peyronie's disease orally––by mouth––or a urologist may inject medications directly into the plaque. Verapamil is one type of topical medication that a man may apply to the skin over the plaque.
- Oral medications. Oral medications may include
- vitamin E
- potassium para-aminobenzoate (Potaba)
- tamoxifen
- colchicine
- acetyl-L-carnitine
- pentoxifylline
- Injections. Medications injected directly into plaques may include
- verapamil
- interferon alpha 2b
- steroids
- collagenase (Xiaflex)
To date, collagenase is the first and only medication specifically approved for Peyronie's disease.
Medical therapies. A urologist may use medical therapies to break up scar tissue and decrease plaque size and curvature. Therapies to break up scar tissue may include
- high-intensity, focused ultrasound directed at the plaque
- radiation therapy––high-energy rays, such as x rays, aimed at the plaque
- shockwave therapy––focused, low-intensity electroshock waves directed at the plaque
A urologist may use iontophoresis––painless, low-level electric current that delivers medications through the skin over the plaque––to decrease plaque size and curvature.
A urologist may use mechanical traction and vacuum devices aimed at stretching or bending the penis to reduce curvature.
A urologist may recommend surgery to remove plaque or help straighten the penis during an erection. Medical experts recommend surgery for long-term cases when
- symptoms have not improved
- erections, intercourse, or both are painful
- the curve or bend in the penis does not allow the man to have sexual intercourse
Some men may develop complications after surgery, and sometimes surgery does not correct the effects of Peyronie's disease––such as shortening of the penis. Some surgical methods can cause shortening of the penis. Medical experts suggest waiting 1 year or more from the onset of symptoms before having surgery because the course of Peyronie's disease is different in each man.
A urologist may recommend the following surgeries:
- grafting. A urologist will cut or remove the plaque and attach a patch of skin, a vein, or material made from animal organs in its place. This procedure may straighten the penis and restore some lost length from Peyronie's disease. However, some men may experience numbness of the penis and ED after the procedure.
- plication. A urologist will remove or pinch a piece of the tunica albuginea from the side of the penis opposite the plaque, which helps to straighten the penis. This procedure is less likely to cause numbness or ED. Plication cannot restore length or girth of the penis and may cause shortening of the penis.
- device implantation. A urologist implants a device into the penis that can cause an erection and help straighten it during an erection. Penile implants may be considered if a man has both Peyronie's disease and ED. In some cases, an implant alone will straighten the penis adequately. If the implant alone does not straighten the penis, a urologist may combine implantation with one of the other two surgeries. Once a man has an implant, he must use the device to have an erection.
A urologist performs these surgeries in a hospital.
Lifestyle Changes
A man can make healthy lifestyle changes to reduce the chance of ED associated with Peyronie's disease by
- quitting smoking
- reducing alcohol consumption
- exercising regularly
- avoiding illegal drugs

How can Peyronie's disease be prevented?
Researchers do not know how to prevent Peyronie's disease.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Researchers have not found that eating, diet, and nutrition play a role in causing or preventing Peyronie's disease.

Marion County Department of Public Works has been given the responsibility to oversee the operations of the County road system, and safety is always the most important consideration. Driveway accesses are a major factor in the road system. Some accesses were constructed prior to the access permit requirement. Others were constructed in recent years without permits. Still, others have not been properly maintained. Public Works is working toward bringing accesses into conformance to the County standards for the safety of the access users and traveling public on the roads. These standards for accesses were developed with careful safety considerations.
The major considerations used when reviewing an access are lines of sight for safe stopping distances and proper drainage handling. Typical required revisions may involve culvert pipes, vegetation removal, gradient of the driveway, and the surface of the driveway.
There are often driveway access changes desired by owners when significant building construction or remodeling changes are being made on property. Therefore, Public Works had found it beneficial to review accesses at the time of application for building permits. When property owners make application for building permits, Public Works is notified. Building permit applicants have an option of either making out an Driveway Access Permit Application or requesting an Access Review.COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT ACCESS REVIEWS
If the access meets county standards, Building Inspection will be notified that the access is all right.
If the access does not meet County standards, you will be notified that a permit is required and it will automatically be prepared. Then once the fee is received, the permit will be issued. The permit will explain what work needs to be done on the access.
You may wish to delay the inspector's visit until you are able to trim the vegetation. You may indicate on the review request a date when the site will be ready for inspection.
It is desirable to obtain as much sight distance as reasonably possible using every means such as locating the approach, brush removal, widening cut-banks, etc., to obtain the following minimums from a point 10' back of the edge of the roadway pavement: Speed, MPH 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 Sight Distance 125' 150' 200' 250' 325' 400' 475' 550'
Sight Distance
Property owners are responsible for the continual maintenance of safe sight distances. Specific vision clearance may be required to establish the initial proper unrestricted line of vision. No trees may be planted in the public right-of-way without written approval.
Should I make drainage changes before the inspection?No. "Changes" are not appropriate without a permit, but normal maintenance such as cleaning out the pipe ends should be done and may help to get the review approval.
Does this review of my access effect my building permits?Yes. The Building Inspection Department typically does not issue the building permits until a Driveway Access Permit Application is received by Public Works or until the access is given a field review to determine if the existing access condition is acceptable.
Driveway Access Permit Applications are typically processed in about 10 days. The permit is mailed back to the applicant with specific construction requirements on the access.
Requests for Access Review require a field review at the site. If the review indicates the access is acceptable, Public Works "signs off" on the building permits. If changes are needed on the access, the applicant is informed that a permit is required and after the application is received, Public Works "signs off."
What does a driveway permit cost and how long does it take to get a permit?Currently, the cost is $50 and an approved permit should be sent to you within two weeks.

Pottawatomie Lake No. 1 State Fishing Lake
Manhattan, KS
Manager: Nathan Henry
Phone: (785) 539-9999
The 190 acres to build this lake was purchased in April, 1932 by Kansas Forestry Fish & Game Commision. The dam and lake was built in cooperation by the Kansas Forestry Fish & Game Commision, W.P.A, and the Kansas Highway Commision.
Pottawatomie State Fishing Lake No. 1 is located five miles north of Westmoreland or two miles south of Blaine on Kansas highway 99. Of the 190 acres purchased, only 24 acres was inundated for the lake. The maximum depth of the lake is 17 feet, with an average depth of 6 to 8 feet. Fish species which can be found include Channel Catfish, Black Bass, Crappie and Bluegill. The area also includes 166 acres of public hunting. Populations of Deer, Turkey, Fox Squirrels, Bobwhite Quail and other species can be found on the property. Pottawatomie State Fishing Lake No. 1 has several primitive camp sites located on the North as well as West sides of the property. A short hiking trail is located on the property that offers a great chance to enjoy the outdoors and get a little exercise at the same time!
- Off Road Vehicles Prohibitted.
- Registered vessels are allowed on the lake for fishing purposes only, with boating speed being reasonable and prudent.
- Vessels not requiring registration (ie. canoes, kayaks, paddle boats, etc.) may be used on this state fishing lake.
- Alcohol & Cereal Malt beverages Prohibitted.
- Fires allowed in provided metal firerings only.
- Channel Catfish Creel Limit of 5; length greater than 15".
- Open to Trapping.
Special Features
- A hiking trail through the rolling hills of this area can challenge your physical ability.
- Wintering Bald Eagles can be found on the area as migrating waterfowl numbers increase.
- In 2007, this property received a grant from the National Wild Turkey Federation to improve habitat for wild turkey. Funding has been spent on removing tree species from over-grown grassland sites. This has greatly improved wild turkey habitat as well as habitat for a host of other upland species. Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism once again put in for the grant in 2011. We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with the National Wild Turkey Federation!

- Powerful
Best Uses
- Even Slices
The plunger on the slicer must be manually aligned into the chute - a drawback. Even with the special cleaning tool, it is harder to clean than other garlic presses. Nevertheless, if you need sliced garlic, rather than crushed or chopped, it excels.

Nah -- the govment duz better when the people are paralyzed.
Wikileaks -- PARALYSIS OF THE PEOPLE.
This iz achieved by convincing people that watching hollywood moovys makes them happy -- and that the oscars are important -- and that the ultimat happyness iz watching the oscar awards.
That's what across the board cuts cause. There is no sparing of anything that's targeted (and 2/3rds of all the federal government's spending, roughly, is entirely exempted). So you have to get the alleged '2.5%' cut (of everything) out of just 1/3rd the spending (immediately making the 2.5% really 7.5%), and as we are already half-way through the fiscal year, we need to get 7.5% out of just HALF the 33% targeted (what's left of the fiscal year). That is to say, a 15% cut in the balance of the year's total spending, and by the way the law was written, fully across the board.
In other cases, you'll see a 20% furloughing of employees (laid off one day out of 5 in a week), AND pay cuts besides that. Which would also apply to prison guards, so there must be a release of prisoners, or the remaining guards would be vulnerable.

We won't have a thriving economy until we get rid of the Repiglican Majority.
They have only one plan, throw the country back into the depths of the Bush Recession.
The Repiglican racists/fascists on the Supreme Court, the RATS, Roberts, Alito, Thomas, Scalia, provide a grim view of the possibilities for the Repiglican plan for maintaining power, in a country which heavily disapporves of Repiglicans, their corruption, obstruction, and love of plutocracy, it should be obvious to all by now, (since the Repiglican Pennsylvania Campaign Chairman admitted that the attempted disenfranchisment of Democratic voters was sure to hand Pennsylvania to Robme) that their plan is to continue to throw elections.
Now, we have Scalia, calling the constitutional right to vote, an racial entitlement. What could be more racist, and un-AMerican, than that?
We all know that we have an economy based by 70%, upon consumer spending, and for all of the Repiglican whining about Jobs, Jobs, Jobs,, they have done nothing but throw more and more people out of work, under false pretenses, and hence, Repiglican policies will continue to be economically destructive, as they always are, and reverse the important social gains of equal rights, under the law, which our country has made over the course of the last several hundred years.
There has never been a more important election for America, than the next one. Repiglican Obstructionism must be stopped. Their continuing lies and distortions are far more obvious, to far more Americans. We can only hope they continue to prove their racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, greed, and irrational failed economic policies, which in the long run, will surely expand America's growing disapproval of all things Repiglican.

Wow ... a lot of pent up hate spewing here. Don't forget to check under the bed to see if the boogeyman is lurking. Oh, and check to make sure you're taking the right meds.

Lol ... I'm not Larry and I seem to be the only one frothing at the mouth. Who is using terms like Repiglicans, facists etc, etc. Is there any room here for a reasonable dialogue? Spewing hateful words doesn't promote solutions. I guess your next move is to call me a racist ... get a life!!!!!!!!!!
