My penis has taken on a curve

My penis has taken on a curve

I'm a 64 year old caucausian male. I'm not, and never have been, a smoker, or heavy drinker and am in generally good health (in safe ht/wt range, BP well within normal range, fully normal blood panel no suggestive history.) I started taking Levitra 10 about a year and a half ago to help me sustain an erection. It has helped to produce quite strong erections that generally last "long enough." In the past few weeks however my erections, which have always been quite straight, have taken on a very pronounced bend upward, so much so that intercourse is difficult. I've read the description of Peyonies disease and don't think that's a probably cause, mostly because the onset in my case is rather sudden. However none of the other probable diagnosies seem very likely either. My only regular meds are a multi vitamin + 81mg asparin (aspirin) and frequently naproxim sodium for chronic back pain. I've looked at med interactions and don't see a connection. Also don't see anything in the Levitra literature on topic. I plan on discontinuing the Levitra to see if this is self correcting. Is there anything that I might have missed?

My first guess was Peyronie's too.  I'm not a doctor, so can't comment about the drug interactions.  I'd go see your GP and get a referral for a urologist who specializes in Peyronie's.  I'm willing to bet that you've experienced penis trauma recently during sex and not realized it - I hear even mild cases of trauma can cause Peyronie's.

Hope this helps.
