What are some possible treatments for a curved penis?

Doctor's Answers 1

It depends on the cause of the curved penis.

If it has been present since young, it could likely be due to frenulum brevie or a short frenulum, which is the point where the foreskin is attached to the penis.

The other possibility would be congenital penile curvature. These two conditions would require surgical correction.

Curvatures that develop overtime would be due to Peyronie’s disease. This is commonly associated with a palpable lump on the penis, painful erections, and in some patients, penile shortening.

We can treat Peyronie’s disease with:

  • Medications
  • Injectables
  • Penile traction
  • Surgical correction

How can a urologist help someone worried about his penis size?

In my clinical practice as a psychiatrist, I realise that many male patients are concerned about their penis size. In sex therapy sessions, a lot of time is spent on providing correct information and sex education to the couple so as to dispel any myths related to sexuality and sexual behaviour. A common myth amongst males is that a large penis results in a female partner being orgasmic during intercourse. This is based on the mistaken belief that the vagina is the woman's major sex organ, whereas, in truth, the woman's most sensitive genital organ is her clitoris [1].
