A flaccid penis is always bent down but bent curved penis while erect is matter of concern, especially if it is painful. A penis is usually slightly curved, only a teeny-weeny bit when erect. A noticeable curve signifies a disease known as Peyronie’s disease. Peyronie’s disease is marked by plaque or scar tissue or a small abnormality that forms on the penis. It specifically affects the tunica albuginea, the enveloping or covering membrane of the penis. The plaque prevents the penis to gain its full length during erection and causes a deformity that is generally known as a curved penis. Plaque that forms on the top of the penis is more common and causes an upwardly curved penis. On the other hand, plaque formation on the underside causes the penis to bend downwards. If plaque forms on both bottom and top of the penis, it leads to a recessed or shortened penis. In mild cases the curvature may be limited to 5-10 degrees but severe presentation may be of up to 90 degrees.

Bent penises can be a source of great anxiety not only due to appearance but also because of the pain and problems with sexual function. Penile deformity can pose a bigger problem if it takes an hour glass shape and affects the stability of the penis. Pain and discomfort are associated symptoms. The pain may disappear after a year or eighteen months but for as long as it lasts it can be pretty intense. Even after the pain disappears, it is still likely to be there during erection. Treatment of Peyronies disease is often recommended once it comes in the way of enjoying normal sex.

The pain persists even after healing and reappears during erections because of the inflammation caused by the initial scarring of the penile tissue. There are treatments available to straighten bent penis. The problem of a downwards curved penis is better left to surgical procedures but many men are not willing to undergo surgery of this highly sensitive area of the body due to obvious reasons.

A bent penis cure is also possible through stretching exercises and penile extenders. Since it is a medical bent penis disease it is better to look for specifically designed programs that decrease penile curvature. It is a lengthy process and it is futile to expect quick results. Other natural treatments include herbal medicines that enhance your body’s internal self-healing process.

When the plaque forms on both sides it shortens the penis. Many men do not even realize that that the short size of their organ is due to Peyronie’s disease and earn to live with it and suffer the ignominy associated with it. If natural treatment of bent curved penis is not your cup of tea you can opt for surgical treatments if you are ready to risk it.

Penis stretching can sometimes help correcting curvatures.
