Peyronie's disease can be distressing for both members of a couple, experts say.

The condition, which causes the penis to bend, may make sex difficult for men and their partners. 

In a recent review of studies involving female partners of men with Peyronie's disease, researchers discovered that women often had sexual pain and low sexual satisfaction.
