Why does the penis tilt to one side?

The penis is a relatively important part for men, because it is not only closely related to the male urinary function, but also greatly affects the male sexual function. Many men have the problem of their penis tilting to one side. When this problem occurs, the first thing to look at is the curvature of the penis. If it is less than 60 degrees, it is normal. If it is higher than 60 degrees, it will have a greater impact on men and needs to be corrected!

1. What is the reason for the penis to bend to one side?

It is normal for the penis to have a certain degree of curvature. If the penis is only slightly curved, with an amplitude of less than 30 degrees, and can allow normal ejaculation and sexual intercourse, it is not considered to have any impact. However, if the amplitude is larger, exceeding 60 degrees, then there will be an impact, and penile orthosis can be used for treatment.

2. Dangers of Penile Curvature

In the normal state of the male young penis, the average length of the penis is 8.375 cm, and the average length of the penis when erect is 12 cm. Since there are many cases of curvature, the following explains the curvature caused by the penis when it is engorged with blood and erect, mainly physiological, congenital, and pathological. When sexually excited, the corpus cavernosum is engorged with blood, and the size of the engorged body is different, so the penis will bend in the direction of less blood. This is a physiological curvature and has no effect on sexual life. Congenitally short frenulum can also cause penile curvature. However, pathological reasons such as trauma or infection of the penis, local scarring, excessive foreskin removal during circumcision, fibrosing cavernitis, and the growth of one or more fibrous nodules on the back of the penis can also cause curvature. Most of these situations require correction through plastic surgery to avoid affecting its normal function.

3. How to treat penis deviation

A normal male penis should be vertical and upward when erect. However, some patients' penises may bend to one side or downward when erect. This is called penile curvature. The cause of this disease may be nodules or scars on the patient's penis, or poor development of the corpus cavernosum. Patients are advised not to be too nervous and should seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
