Penile Curvature Treatment

Penile curvature is a condition where the penis bends or curves during an erection. While it is common to have some curvature in the penis, whether up, down, or on either side, it may become a concern if it causes pain during intercourse or becomes bothersome to either partner.

There are two types of penile curvature:

  1. Congenital Penile Curvature: Also known as chordee, this condition is characterised by a curvature of the penis present from birth. In most cases, individuals don’t realise they have penile curvature until they attain puberty.
  2. Peyronie’s Disease: This condition is characterised by the formation of scar tissue within the penis, resulting in curvature that develops later in life. Researchers speculate that this could result from an injury to the erect penis. However, most people cannot account for such an incident.

Early and accurate diagnosis of this condition is key to effective management. At Dr Kamaraj Hospital, our medical experts are committed to diagnosing and treating penile curvature through advanced techniques and a patient-centric approach, allowing you to lead a healthy and happy life.

Symptoms of Penile Curvature

The primary symptom of penile curvature is the visible bend or curve in the penis. Other symptoms may include:
  • Rotating or twisting of the penis (Penile Torsion)
  • Lumps in the penis
  • Difficulty achieving or sustaining an erection
  • Reduced stiffness during an erection
  • Pain or discomfort during an erection
  • Pain or discomfort during intercourse
  • Loss of length in an erect penis
  • Reduced girth along the penis shaft, which may cause the penis to take on an hourglass shape

Causes of Penile Curvature

A slight curve in the penis is generally considered normal and not cause for concern. However, the cause of a severe one is not always known. Medical researchers are unclear about what causes congenital penile curvature. It is speculated that it is caused by one side of the penis being stretchier than the other.

In the case of Peyronie’s disease, penile curvature can be caused by an injury during sexual intercourse, forceful or energetic masturbation, or falling onto or rolling over on an erect penis. However, the most common causes of Peyronie’s disease are often unintentional injuries.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options for Penile Curvature

Penile curvature is diagnosed by reviewing the patient’s medical and sexual history, assessing symptoms, and performing a physical exam. The medical professional may also need to examine the penis during an erection.

The healthcare expert may recommend the following penile curvature treatment methods:

  • Traction Therapy: It involves using a vacuum erection device or a traction device that gently stretches the penis to bend in the direction opposite to the curve.
  • Surgery: It involves removing scar tissue surgically or stitching tissue to minimise the curvature. A penile implant, a medical device used to straighten the penis during an erection, may also be recommended.
  • Medication: It involves injecting penile curvature medicine into the penis to break down scar tissue. Medication can be administered orally as well.
