a. Peyronie's disease

ANS: B
Priapism is a painful erection that lasts too long. Peyronie's disease often gives the penis a curved or crooked look when it is erect. Paraphimosis occurs when the uncircumcised foreskin is pulled back, during intercourse or bathing, and not immediately replaced in a forward position. This causes constriction of the dorsal veins, which leads to edema and pain. Orchitis is a rare inflammation or infection of the testes.
