An abnormally bent, tilted, or deformed penis, also known as Peyronie’s disease, is something we may have heard about when friends or men talk about a penis leaning to the left. Actually, it depends on the individual whether it leans left, right, up, or down.
Some have a penis that bends downward, some bend upward. A girlfriend might be confused about what the normal position really is. If her partner’s penis is tilted, should it be straight? Actually, the penis should not bend more than 30 degrees.
If it exceeds that, you should see a doctor. But don’t worry, the doctor specializes in this and will explain how to treat this condition so everyone understands.
Causes of an Abnormally Bent Penis
The cause of Peyronie’s disease is believed to be related to abnormal healing of wounds on the penis, such as the penis bending during intercourse or having linear microbial plaques.
This causes internal bleeding within the penis. Men with health problems like diabetes, or those with family members who have Peyronie’s disease, are at higher risk. The patient may be unaware and it may not be visible externally.
Medication for Treating an Abnormally Bent Penis
Specific treatments to reduce curvature include several methods such as taking medications like vitamin E, colchicine, tamoxifen, etc. However, studies have found that oral medication treatment results are not very satisfactory or effective.
Injection Treatment for an Abnormally Bent Penis
Penile injection treatment involves injecting medication directly into the fibrous plaque using Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum, a drug recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration specifically for this condition.
This treatment is more effective than oral medication but is expensive, requires multiple injections, and is not yet available in Thailand. It is approved for men with curvature greater than 30 degrees during erection to break down collagen buildup.
Surgery for an Abnormally Bent Penis
To reduce penile curvature and allow patients to have intercourse close to normal, doctors usually recommend waiting until the second stage for at least six months before surgery to reduce the chance of recurrence after surgery.
There are several surgical methods, such as the Tunical plication technique, which involves stitching the opposite side of the curvature to straighten the penis. This method has fewer side effects regarding erectile dysfunction but may shorten penile length.
Another surgical method involves removing the hardened plaque and closing the area with various tissues. This method affects penile length less but has a higher chance of erectile dysfunction than Tunical plication.
There is also surgery to implant a penile prosthesis for patients with erectile dysfunction. For those indicated for surgery, the doctor will recommend the most appropriate surgical treatment method.
Treatment of an Abnormally Bent Penis with Shockwave
Treatment of a bent, tilted, or deformed penis with Shockwave (EDSWT) uses the Intensive Shock Wave technique with an Erectile Dysfunction Shock Wave Therapy device.
This is a specialized technique by the doctor to enhance sexual function using the latest technology. It is a new option for patients with erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease.
Peyronie’s disease is common. Although most patients cannot heal spontaneously, symptoms can be improved with treatment.
If you think you have this condition, it is recommended to see a doctor promptly. Don’t be shy or hesitant because the sooner you treat it, the better the chances of improvement and safety from side effects.
Summary: How to Fix an Abnormally Bent Penis
Therefore, anyone who has noticed their penis leaning since they can remember and feels no pain can be reassured. Moreover, the curvature may even improve sexual intercourse.
It can help make certain sexual positions easier and may better stimulate the female partner. However, if you feel pain during erection or intercourse, if the curvature worsens, or if it exceeds 30 degrees, it is considered abnormal and you should consult a doctor.
Don’t be shy or hesitant because the sooner you treat it, the better the chances of improvement and safety from side effects. Consult Dr. Beer at the clinic branch near you, click here or inquire via Line OA, click here
