What to do if the male genitals are curved

Male genital curvature has physiological reasons as well as disease reasons. Generally speaking, it is common for men to have a certain curvature of the penis. As long as it does not affect health and normal sexual life, you don't need to worry too much about it. However, you must pay attention to genital curvature caused by disease. This is called abnormality of the corpus cavernosum albuginea of ​​the penis in medicine. Such patients must receive timely treatment.

Symptoms

1. Abnormal development of the corpus cavernosum of the penis. The two corpora cavernosa of the penis are asymmetrical, and the penis will bend to one side during erection. If the bend is not very severe, there is no pain or discomfort during erection, and it does not affect sexual life, no special treatment is required. 2. Congenital malformations such as epispadias or hypospadias. The urethral opening of such patients is not in the middle of the glans penis, but in the coronal sulcus of the penis, the penis shaft, or even near the scrotum. The defective urethra is replaced by the tissue of the fibrous band. When the penis is erect, it is pulled by the fibrous band, which causes bending, requiring surgical correction. 3. Penile curvature can also be caused by penile injury or diseases such as fibrous cavernosum and penile sclerosis. The angle of pathological curvature is generally large, and it bends upward, downward, or to the left or right. It is generally believed that if the upward curvature angle of the penis after erection is less than 40°, and the downward curvature angle or the left or right curvature angle is less than 30°, and the sex life is satisfactory, no treatment is required. If the curvature angle is large, you should go to the urology department or the andrology department for diagnosis and treatment. In fact, many healthy and normal men have a slight sideways or upward and downward curvature of the penis during erection, but it is not serious. Many growing boys will find that their penis bends at various angles during erection. This can cause embarrassment and shyness in a grown boy, and even make him introverted. He is afraid to have a girlfriend, and thinks that he will never be able to have normal sexual relationships or a normal life.

Surgical method

The foreskin is pulled back and drugs that make the penis erect are injected or a sufficient amount of salt water is infused to observe the erect and bent penis. The excess cavernous tunica albuginea is then folded and the bending angle of the penis is gradually corrected by the tension caused by the tightening of non-absorbable sutures. In this way, the entire penis can be completely straightened after several consecutive folds. For most patients, the erect penis cannot hold the head and chest up or be parallel to the ground before the operation. After the operation, this is completely changed. The fully erect penis can exceed the parallel line of the ground and even reach the abdomen. This allows the patient to observe whether the correction is satisfactory on the operating table.

Surgical effect

The correction of penile curvature only requires local anesthesia and does not cause any damage to the corpus cavernosum of the penis. The patient will feel strong tension and pain during erection for the first few days after the operation, and there will be no damage to the function of the penis. The whole operation process is similar to that of a general circumcision. Some patients may have mild hematoma or prolonged erection due to injection of drugs after the operation, but they will all return to normal.
