Bent penis
Bent
penis is abnormal bending or curvature of the penis. Peyronie's disease is a
severe curvature of the erect penis. Many men have a slight curve of the penis.
As long as there is no pain or problem with sexual performance, men with a
slightly curved penis should not be concerned and do not need to see a doctor.
A minor bend in the erect
penis is perfectly normal, as few penises are straight as an arrow. In some
cases of Peyronie's, however, the penis can bend severely left, right, up or
down, or even back on itself, making intercourse impossible.
The
following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Bent penis
- Peyronie's
disease
- Urethral
stricture
- Hypospadias
- Penis
injury
Penis curvature is
characterized as an abnormal angulation of the erect penile (bent penis).
Two-thirds of men whose penis is bent experienced pain the shaft. In most
cases, it will progressively settle down and vanish without treatment in a few
months. Curvature of the penis alone is not harmful, but irregularly, severe
bending would makes intercourse or sexual act difficult or virtually
impossible.
Causes
Below are the causes that are
the main issues that are responsible for the penis curvature.
Weak and
poor development
Weak and
poor growth of the corpora cavernosa (Spongy tissue) is another cause of
curvature. The penile tissue consists of spongy tissue called the corpora
cavernosa. If the small opening in the spongy tissue on one side of builds up
to a lesser degree than that on the other side then the lesser-developed side
will have more blood circulation. This increased blood flow would vigor the
head over the furthest point of control, causing a curved or banana shaped
penile tissue.
Restrictive
clothing
When males who wear very
tight underwear get an erections, their penile tissue are restricted from a
typical outward growth. They often curve their penises over to the side to hide
the awkward erection. This affects the enlargement because blood will flow
better through one side of the spongy tissue and depart the other side under
nourish.
Injury
Acute or recurring trauma
(hitting or bending) can lead to localized bleeding inside the penile tissue.
This leads to fibrin deposition (scar tissue) in the tissue gap that receives
injury. Also, the trauma can cause collagen to be rapt that can lead to
pathologic fibrosis – the creation of calcium deposits.
Age
With age there is a reduction
in the elasticity of collagen fibers which can also lead to scar tissue.
Treatment of
bent penis
- Surgery
is really never necessary for straightening a curved penis.
- Penile
Traction.
- Surgical
alternatives include tightening or tucking the penis opposite the
curvature to produce straightening.
- To
straighten a curved penis all you have to do is stretch the shorter skin
to equal the longer skin on the other side.
- If
a mild curve does not get better within 18 months, consult a specialist.
- In
the case of an extreme curve, painful intercourse, or if there is the
potential for impotence, surgical correction of the curve may be necessary.
- If
the bend is not severe, and it does not prevent sex, it is recommended to
live it.
