Gary, Peyronie's disease turned up in my search 746 times, probably meaningful. Not good news for Muse in the White house however: (from Men's Health Issues) "How is Peyronie's disease treated? Well Bill, There are many options in treating Peyronie's disease depending on the severity. In some cases there may be no need for treatment and the curvature will resolve on its own. If the curvature becomes increasingly worse treatment may be needed. There are non-surgical and surgical treatments depending on the individual and the symptoms. Non-surgical Oral medication- used to decrease the pain, soften and reduce the plaque. Intralesional -is injected directly into the plaque to soften and dissolve the plaque. Surgical Excision of the plaque with repair by graft. Plication- to shorten the unaffected side of the penis, to straighten the penis. Penile prosthesis- implant prosthesis to straighten the penis and provides enough rigidity for intercourse. In some cases a combination of treatments may be used to correct the problem. After treatment, Peyronie's disease may return and may be a chronic problem. All of the risks and complications should be taken into consideration before a treatment is selected."
