Recent research suggests that as many as thirty percent of men possess some degree of penile curvature. Whilst in the majority of cases this presents no problem with regard to sexual performance, a curved penis may result in detrimental psychological effects such as a lack of confidence in meeting new partners or even low self-esteem. In a minority of cases, the curve can be so severe as to result in painful or weak erections, ejaculatory problems, irritation and in the extreme can even prevent intercourse.
In the majority of cases, penile curvature is the result of the two erectile chambers (Corpora Cavernosa) developing at different rates during foetal development. Natural penis enlargement exercises can be beneficial in reducing penile curvature of this nature through the development of the weaker of the two erectile chambers. The exercise guide we recommend provides specifically tailored exercises and techniques designed to help straighten curvature of the penis.
Penile curvature can also be a symptom of a more serious condition known as Peyronie’s Disease. This condition was first described by a French surgeon, François de la Peyronie in 1743, which according to a 1997 Journal of Urology study effects less than 1% of men worldwide.
The cause of the condition is usually due to injury of one of the corpora cavernosum, which results in bleeding and later the formation of a hard plaque of scar tissue on one side of the penis. Due to the inflexibility of this scar tissue, the penis bends upon erection and is often accompanied by severe pain. A comprehensive resource detailing all aspects of Peyronie’s disease can be found at http://www.urologychannel.com/peyronies/index.shtml
If you believe you are suffering from Peyronie’s disease or your penis has only recently developed a curve, we would recommend seeking the immediate advice of an urologist to discuss possible treatment.
