Penile curvature surgery is one of the services offered by Iran Medtour, which is provided by the best specialists accompanied by accommodation, a translator, a companion nurse, and a city tour at an affordable price in Tehran.
Penile curvature is a common disorder that causes too many problems, such as mental problems and divorce. This disorder occurs when the male penis bends strongly in various directions, especially up and down.
As we mentioned in the introduction, penile curvature is a common disorder among men. In this disorder, plaques are formed under the skin of the penis, which can cause the penis to sink or bend during the erection.
These plaques are usually palpable through the skin and in most cases, it can be painful.
There are four types of penile curvature, that will be mentioned in this section.
Penile curvature plaques are mostly formed on the top and back side of the penis, which causes the penis to be less flexible and bend upwards during the erection.
When the plaques are created on the side or at the bottom of the penis, in this case, the curvature will be to the sides or downwards. But in some people, the plaques involve the entire penis, but these plaques do not cause bending, but make the penis stem narrow like the neck of a bottle.
In more severe cases, it is possible that the plaques absorb calcium, where the male penis becomes very hard like a bone, and may become short or small.
Other symptoms that indicate a person suffers the Penile Curvature are as follows.
Penile curvature can be congenital or acquired, or due to minor damage to the penis. Some congenital defects that disrupt the growth of the urinary tract cause a person to suffer from penile curvature. Therefore, if the penis growth suddenly stops during the fetal period, it causes the curvature of the penis.
But when the Penile Curvature is due to injury, it usually occurs as a result of intense sexual intercourse, such as pressure from the public bone of the wife or bending of the penis during penetration. Of course, for those who suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol, this disorder is more common.
Your doctor may diagnose penile curvature with a physical exam because hard plaques can usually be felt. Of course, in most cases, the doctor injects medicine into the penis to make it hard and take pictures to study the curvature of the penis.
Dynamic ultrasound uses sound waves to take a picture of what’s inside your body to see the location of the plaque, blood flow, and the collection of calcium in the penis.
In a small number of cases, about 13 out of 100 cases, Penile Curvature is resolved without treatment. Most urologist doctors suggest treating this disorder without surgery for 12 months. For example, people with small plaques and low curvature of the penis, without pain and sexual problems may not need treatment, but if treatment is required, the following solutions are suggested:
Medication may help men who are severely affected by penile curvature in the acute phase. However, most medical guidelines do not prescribe oral medicines for this disorder because drug therapy is one of the time-consuming treatments for this disorder.
Direct injection of medicine into the penile plaques is mostly used for men with premature penile curvature or those who do not intend to undergo surgery. In this method, the skin of the penis is numbed before injection to reduce pain.
Penile curvature surgery is reserved for men who have more severe and debilitating abnormalities of the penis that make sexual intercourse more difficult. Most urologists recommend postponing this procedure until the plaque and curvature will worsen.
Before surgery, the doctor checks the blood flow of the penis by injecting a drug that tightens it and then observes the inside of the penis using ultrasound. These tests help the urologist to decide which type of surgery is right for the person. Penile curvature surgery takes about 2 hours.
Penile curvature is caused by the formation of plaques on the penis that cause curvature of the penis and painful erection. Since penises are different in size and shape, a bent penis is not necessarily a cause for concern, and it is better to visit a doctor when the curvature of the penis causes significant pain.
Penile Curvature can cause erectile dysfunction and prevent having good sex, while it causes stress and anxiety in most men.

There is no scientifically proven way to fix penile curvature at home. While some websites may suggest exercises or natural remedies, these are not supported by medical evidence and may even be harmful. Penile curvature, especially if it’s significant or causing pain, requires professional medical evaluation and treatment
Congenital penile curvature is present from birth or develops during puberty. It’s often due to an uneven growth of the tissues in the penis. Unlike Peyronie’s disease, which develops later in life, congenital curvature is not caused by plaque formation.
Yes, penile curvature is treatable. The treatment depends on the severity of the curvature and whether it’s causing symptoms like pain or difficulty with intercourse. Options include observation, medication (in some cases), and surgery.
The most common cause of acquired penile curvature is Peyronie’s disease. This condition involves the formation of plaque (scar tissue) within the penis, leading to bending or deformity. Other causes can include injury, certain medical conditions, and sometimes the cause is unknown. Congenital curvature has different causes related to development.
A slight degree of curvature is common and often not a cause for concern. However, significant curvature that causes pain, discomfort, or interferes with sexual activity should be evaluated by a doctor.
The approach to reducing penile curvature depends on the underlying cause. In some cases, observation may be sufficient. For others, treatments like medication or surgery might be recommended by a healthcare professional.
A small amount of curvature can be considered within the range of normal variation. However, noticeable or progressive curvature, especially if accompanied by other symptoms, is not normal and should be checked by a doctor.
Yes, penile curvature, particularly if it’s due to Peyronie’s disease, can contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED). The physical deformity and/or the psychological impact of the condition can both affect a man’s ability to achieve or maintain an erection.
You should consult a doctor if you notice:
Yes, penile curvature can have a significant psychological impact. It can lead to anxiety, depression, body image issues, and relationship difficulties. If you’re experiencing emotional distress related to your condition, it’s essential to seek support from a healthcare professional or therapist.
No, penile curvature itself is not cancerous. However, any changes or abnormalities in the penis should be evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
