What are the causes of erectile curvature of the penis?

When a man is erect, his penis is usually straight, but for many men, it is curved. This is called "penile cavernous tunica albuginea abnormality" in medicine. Although it does not cause serious effects, it still affects the normal sex life of many men, and they are very concerned about the factors that cause the disease. So, what are the reasons for the curvature of the penis during erection? Let's take a closer look.

In daily life, men generally ignore or even neglect the care and maintenance of "penile curvature", a common symptom among men. In sexual psychology consultation, it is not uncommon to see men who are troubled by penile curvature. In fact, most of them have physiological curvature. Because the inside of the penis is composed of three parallel long cylindrical corpora cavernosa, the two side by side on the back are called penile corpora cavernosa, and the other one on the ventral side, with the urethra passing through, is called urethral corpora cavernosa.

Normally the penis is in a flaccid state. When sexually excited, the sinus vascular muscles in the cavernous body tissue relax, and a large amount of blood flows into the sinus cavernosum. When the flow reaches a certain level, the elastic white membrane covering the outside of the cavernous body of the penis will expand fully. The expanded state is like a hard columnar body like a fully inflated ball, and supports the penis to stand upright.

The key is the elastic fibers between the two cavernous bodies of the penis. When they are pulled to the extreme, the penis is fully erect. Because the cavernous bodies of the urethra are correspondingly engorged and expanded, the penis is generally slightly bent downward when it is erect, and it is only hard and straight after it is fully erect. However, under normal conditions, the penis is not fully erect. It is only in the brief few seconds before reaching orgasm that it will be fully erect. A slight bend or twist is also within the normal range. Of course, there are also very few cases of pathological bends.

The above is an introduction to the causes of erectile curvature of the penis. I hope it will be helpful for men to understand. There are many reasons for erectile curvature of the penis. When this happens, it depends on whether it affects normal life. Generally, there are no side effects. Only when it affects normal sexual life, then surgery should be considered for improvement.
