Doctors will boast that their patients are not shy and tell
them everything but that is not how it is. Patients, especially men,
are a hindrance to themselves. Erectile dysfunction or the more
embarrassing bent knob of Peyronie’s is something most men fear
to admit. Even when they do summon the courage to talk to the
doctor the best they can do is euphemise. This tells the doctor that
the problem is more than physical, it is also psychological. Treat
with care. The patient will be referred to a urologist. The penis
is unique.
