Penile Curvature

Dear Sir/Madam
I am 29 years old and have suffered with a curvature of the erect penis since birth.  The curvature is upward with no hypospadias.  There has been no noticeable change in the extent of curvature over time, and I have had no problem developing or maintaining an erection (although there is occasional discomfort upon erection subsequent to recent ejaculation, and premature ejaculation has been common).  The curvature makes full penetration difficult.  Would this be chordee or some other related problem?  What, if any, would the treatment options be and would they be covered by a basic health insurance plan?
I hope you can help with this and await your advice.
Thanks
