I have a bent penis, what treatment can I have?

Dr Suks Minhas, a Consultant Urologist and Andrologist, says a bent penis may be indicative of Peyronie’s disease which is a lump or bend of the penis which typical occurs around the age of 55. The other cause could be a congenital curvature which is present from birth and its problematic side effects is usually realised when the male becomes sexually active.

If you have a bent penis, this may indicate that you either have Peyronie's disease, independent upon your age, possibly a congenital curvature. A congenital curvature usually occurs from birth, and men normally notice this when they've become sexually active and the penis my bend and cause them difficultly to penetrate when they become sexually active. Peyronie's disease is usually characterised by a lump of bend and pain, and usually occurs in men in the older age group, though it can occur at any age. But a peak age, it's usually about 55 years of age.
