Question Title: Left Bend(Not Peyronie's)Forum: The Urology Forum
| ||||
| My penis bends to the left at two specific places, one at the very base and another a little further up. This has happened before but increased after I used a VED. It feels a little tighter under the skin when erect but other than that it feels normal. My impotence is characterized by my erections requiring direct stimulation and subsiding quickly without it. I do have nocturnal erections. I'm 23 so it seems too early for Peyronie's disease. Could this be anything else? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear David Thanks for your question. Peyronie’s can occur at any age. I cannot think of any diseases that cause a leftward bend in more than one place in the shaft of the penis. Corporal disproportion can occur but is usually a continuous curve. The tightness under the skin may be plaques ( scar tissue ). Plaques are typical for Peyronie’s. We obviously cannot make a diagnosis over the internet, but your curvature and erectile dysfunction in an individual your age should be investigated by a urologist. Polaroid pictures of the penis while erect can be a great help to document the curvature for your doctor. Hope this has helped. More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its urban campuses by calling (1 800 653 6568). We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly. This information is provided for general medical education purposes only.
