Penis curve means unusual bend in penis and is medically known as Peyronie's disease. Some degree of curve is usually there in majority of men but when the bent start troubling, it is referred to as Peyronie's disease. It may give you problem in erection and painful intercourse and sometimes results into Impotence.

It is quite rare and experienced by few people and if not congenital than usually occurs after 40-60 years of age. The minute curve can be treated by straightening exercises but an acute bend in anatomy sometimes become irreversible and can’t even get helped by surgeries.

Peyronie's disease

The organ has two chambers and occurrence of any discrepancy between the sizes of two may give rise to unusual penis curve. And it is referred as Peyronie's disease. Though the causes of the disease are not yet exactly known but it is classified on two modes. First is inborn defect which occurs in the embryo development itself. Secondly, it is developed with age and is caused by fibrosis or scarring for which no reasons are yet identified. The organ may get scars in tissue on any part of shaft resulting into blockage of blood flow in that part and thus a bent occur giving the problem of Peyronie's disease. The mechanism is based on balloons inflation theory. If you put a cello tape on one particular side and starts blowing air in balloon an unusual deviation and curve is inevitable. And this is what happens in defected penis body.

The problem of penis curve is not very common. It happens only in 3% of men and mostly occurs as age advances between 40 and 60 years. The blood engorged in organ s not circulated in all the structure and hence causes trouble. It can cause pain in organ, painful intercourse and impotence in some cases.

Causes and symptoms of Peyronie's disease

Curve in Penis besides occurring as congenital problem may happen due to external factors too. The main causative factor behind the problem is formation of fibrous scarring on erectile lining of body known as tunica albuginea. Though the reason behind fibrosis is not known but it really obstructs blood supply and causes plaques to develop over the shaft. Another most common reason above all is constant tight clothing which doesn’t support free hanging of the shaft. The regular tight clothing may pressurize the organ in any direction (left, right, up or down) and may stop blood supply to particular area leading to curve defect. It can also be caused at puberty age due to some trauma or injury that results into inconsistent and abnormal development of to corpora cavernosa.

Family history of curvature or Dupuytren’s Contracture can also be a pertinent cause for a man to suffer from problem. Deficiency of Vitamin E and Diabetes are also considered as a potent cause to afflict the problem.

Curvature or Peyronie's disease is very rare so often people find it difficult to identify it. However any unusual inclination or bending of organ towards right, left, up or down accompanied by painful intercourse is vivid and clear symptom of the problem. Sometime you end up hurting her. Further it can be identified with following symptoms-

• Pain in fuller erection
• Plaques on top of penis or felt lumps inside
• Painful intercourse and trouble in penetration
• Erectile dysfunction viz. premature or weak erection etc.

Can the curve be cured?

A slight curve can easily be handled with the help of exercise and including healthy nutrient such as Vitamin E in your diet. But if you have inborn problem or severe bent you may need doctor advice and can get it treated with surgery, medical or injection therapy etc. A regular stretch exercise and wearing loose clothing can help you prevent the problem of unusual curve and Peyronie's disease
