Help! My Penis is Bent!

My penis is bent downwards. I find it really embarrassing. Kindly tell me how and where to rectify it?

The size, shape, and function of the penis is a source of pride and embarrassment for men in equal measures. They can lead to performance anxiety and even shying away from sexual intercourse. Unfortunately, many men don't seek help or at least try to find out if everything is okay.

That's why I applaud you for taking this bold step to start understanding what's going on with your manhood.

What's normal?

Every penis is as unique as a finger print; they vary in shape and size. Normally, the penis in its flaccid state hangs downwards; I hope you are not asking about that.

Curved penises are quite common and shouldn't be a cause for concern.

Having a slightly bent penis during erection is common. Depending on the curvature degree and angle, this can be more pleasurable for the woman by stimulating the G-spot.

The only time a bent penis is an issue is when the bend is too significant to penetrate or causes pain.

Peyronie's disease

Some men have a significant bent penis that causes pain when erect. This condition is known as the Peyronie's disease.

This can prevent a man from having sex. Or might make it difficult to get or maintain an erection. For many men, Peyronie's disease also causes stress and anxiety.

In a small percentage of men, Peyronie's disease goes away on its own. But in most cases, it will remain unchanged or worsen. Treatment is necessary if the curvature is severe enough to prevent sexual intercourse.

Who gets Peyronie's Disease?

Peyronie's disease is usually a condition one is born with, but it only shows later in life. It mostly happens in middle-aged men.

However, in some cases younger and older men can get it too. It becomes more common as a man gets older, but it's not a normal part of aging.
