CONCLUSION
The PVMD is an uncommon and likely under-reported condition . Despite the self-limited nature of most cases , presentation to the medical office for evaluation can be a distressing experience for the patient . Primary care physicians ’ familiarity with PVMD and their understanding of the natural course and management of the disease , along with urologic collaboration , can be reassuring to an apprehensive patient , thereby strengthening the physician-patient bond as a result of providing optimum treatment .
