Web episode - Peyronie's disease

Dr Christian diagnoses Peyronie's disease when Ambulance technician Keith comes to the clinic. Realising the severity of this particular case Dr Christian sees surgery as the only option, and refers Keith on to a urological surgeon who he hopes can straighten things out. Keith meets consultant urological surgeon Mr. Paul Anderson to discuss options. With advice from his surgeon Keith opts for a Nesbitt's procedure which removes tissue from the unaffected side of the penis so that things balance out when sewn back up, even if slightly shorter. After a two-hour procedure Keith's penis is corrected, with Dr Christian recommending that he waits a few months before seeking further treatment for his excess foreskin.

This new series explores the conditions and ailments that leave many of us a little red-faced and aims to de-stigmatise common complaints.
