Penis curve

by can4969, May 28, 2009 12:43PM
I am a 49 year old male.  Recently within the last month, I have had a problem with my penis curving up and slightly to the left. I have never had this before. I have been researching this on the computer.  I can tell you I do not have a lump.  I do not have any trouble with an erection, or any discomfort during sex. There seems to be a slight depression on the left side just below the head of my penis. Is there any cause for concern? Can I straighten it back out?

Hello,
It sounds like Peyronie’s disease.

It is a connective tissue disorder involving the growth of fibrous plaques in the soft tissue of the penis. The disease starts as a small bump or constriction on the shaft of the penis below the skin and then consequently curving of the erect penis occurs.

Treatment is by medicines and surgical intervention.

I sincerely suggest you to consult a urologist and get this possibility evaluated.

I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted.Warm regards.
