Penile Curvature
An overwhelming number of men have a certain degree of curve to their penis. Most men notice it around the time that they start to get, and notice, their erections. This happens most often with young boys or pubescent teens. It can lead to an embarrassing moment when son tells father that he thinks his penis is “broken.” Well, fear not, a small curve is actually normal, although there are a handful of men that do have essentially straight penises.
The curve, however, can get too extreme. A disease known as Peyronie’s Disease occurs when the penis has too much of a curve in it and it impairs things like sexual activity or even urination. There are two different kinds of Peyronie’s. The first is a congenital birth defect. While the number of babies that are born with Peyronie’s is extremely small, it does happen. In almost all cases of Peyronie’s, however, it is due to a build up of scar tissue inside the shaft of the penis.
The tissue in the shaft is spongy and flexible. This is why the penis is so malleable and not hard like bone. When the penis is stimulated, blood rushes into the shaft and fills up the three chambers. The tissue absorbs the blood like a sponge and an erection is achieved. With Peyronie’s, the scar tissue gets in the way. Scar tissue is very hard and not flexible at all. The presence of the scar tissue among all the other soft tissue causes the penis to bend one way or the other.
The cause of the scar tissue is usually a blunt trauma incident. Things like car crashes, sports injuries or even a bad fall can cause the scar tissue to form.
The impact of Peyronie’s is most psychological then physical. If a man is unable to urinate on his own or able to make love to his partner, it can be devastating. Our society places an inordinate amount of importance on the penis and its size and ability. If that ability is hampered, most men feel emasculated and severe depression can set in. On the physical side, urination can become very difficult and most men will find themselves only able to sit and go instead of standing. Love making is also severely impaired for obvious logistical reasons. In less severe cases, lovemaking can continue unchanged.
The curve of the penis is a completely normal and healthy thing. It is only when the curve gets extreme that problems arise. If you believe you suffer from Peyronie’s disease, consult a doctor.
