Firstly, what causes a curved penis ?
Contrary to popular belief, a bent or curved penis DOES NOT mean that you have Peyronies Disease.
You may naturally have a curved or bent penis and as long as you don't feel any pain during erections and intercourse, you should be safe.
However, if you experience pain, discomfort or a slight softening in your erections, then you may have the disease. So what should you do?
What is exactly Peyronies Disease ?
Basic facts about Peyronies Disease And Its Effects On A Curved Penis

What causes this inflammation still an unknown factor and is out of the scope of this brief introduction.
- Peyronies Disease causes a bent or curve in the penis (a curved penis) during erection due to the deposit of hard lumps or fibrous plaques on the tunica albuginea. Although these plaques are non-cancerous in nature, they can be rather painful.
- Peyronies Disease can cause a man to suffer temporary erectile dysfunction(ED) due to the fact that bloodflow to the penis is restricted by the deposits of plaque. You may experience pain and a softening in your erections.
- This is a disease that affects between 1-3% of men and usually(not always) those above 55 years of age.
- Although it does not threaten your life, Peyronies Disease can severely affect your sex life and your self-esteem if left untreated.
What should you do if you suspect that you have Peyronies Disease or a curved penis?
