Are Primary and Secondary Provoked Vestibulodynia Two Different Entities? A Comparison of Pain, Psychosocial, and Sexual Characteristics
ConclusionsThe findings show that there are no significant differences in the sexual and psychosocial profiles of women with PVD1 and PVD2. Results suggest that similar psychosocial and sex therapy interventions should be offered to both subgroups of PVD. Aerts L, Bergeron S, Corsini‐Munt S, Steben M, and Pâquet M.

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Polymorphisms and Erectile Dysfunction: A Meta‐Analysis
ConclusionThe eNOS polymorphisms G894T, 4 VNTR, and T786C were associated with an increased risk for ED. However, these results are still preliminary. Further studies based on different confounders and using a large population size should be conducted to generate more accurate and reliable conclusions.

Examining Postoperative Outcomes after Employing a Surgical Algorithm for Management of Peyronie's Disease: A Single‐Institution Retrospective Review
ConclusionPatient experience with postsurgical rigidity, ability to engage in intercourse, and residual bothersome curve was not statistically different across the three groups, supporting the use of this surgical algorithm. The majority of patients with PD experience some degree of emotional and psychological distress, which may compromise patient satisfaction. Papagiannopoulos D, Yura E, and Levine L.

Changes in Vaginal Physiology of Menopausal Women with Type 2 Diabetes
ConclusionDiabetes greatly impacts vaginal physiology, being associated with alterations of the vaginal lamina propria vascular network, nitrergic signaling, and AR expression. These alterations may contribute to the increased risk of FSD development in women with diabetes. Baldassarre M, Alvisi S, Berra M, Martelli V, Farina A, Righi A, and Meriggiola MC.

Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum for the Treatment of Peyronie's Disease: The Development of This Novel Pharmacologic Approach
ConclusionsCollagenase therapy began as an attempt to modify the structure of PD‐related tunica albuginea scarring, despite the lack of a fundamental understanding of the scar's origin. If we wish to advance PD treatment beyond this first effective step, the future needs to bring us full circle to the starting point: We need a greater understanding of the control of collagen deposition and wound healing in men with PD.

Genital Image, Sexual Anxiety, and Erectile Dysfunction Among Young Male Military Personnel
ConclusionsThis study underscores the complex etiologic basis of SFPs, particularly ED, and highlights the importance of considering psychologic contributors to ED, such as SA and MGSI. Strategies aimed at reducing SA may be useful in improving ED in young military populations and are worth considering as complements to strategies that improve SFPs.

The CYP17 MspA1 Polymorphism and the Gender Dysphoria
ConclusionOur data confirm a sex‐dependent allele distribution of the CYP17 MspA1 polymorphism in the transsexual population, FtM > MtF, suggestive of a hypothetical A2 involvement in transsexualism since the allele frequencies in the general population seem to be clearly related to geographic origin and ethnic background, but not sex.
