Penile curvature surgery – Over 70% of men have a curved penis?

Is it normal for the penis to bend?

The saying goes, “Nine out of ten men lean to the left.” Most men, upon erection, may notice that their penis curves to one side, prompting them to wonder if it’s related to their usual positioning or a genetic defect. But fret not, let’s first delve into the structure of the penis.

The male penis is primarily composed of two corpora cavernosa and the tunica albuginea. During puberty, the tunica albuginea also undergoes development, but the growth rate may vary slightly (upwards, downwards, or towards the left or right), resulting in different degrees of curvature during erection.

Does a curved penis need treatment?

If you encounter the following situations, seeking consultation and evaluation from a professional physician is advisable:

1. Curvature angle of the penis exceeds 30 degrees:

Curvature within 30 degrees is generally considered normal. However, if it exceeds 30 degrees and affects daily life, consultation with a urologist for corrective surgery is recommended.

2. Dissatisfaction with the appearance of the penis:

Some individuals may feel bothered by the curvature angle of their penis even if it’s within 30 degrees. In such cases, surgical process for penile curvature correction can be considered based on cosmetic needs.

3. Acquired penile curvature:

Penile curvature can be categorized as congenital or acquired. Congenital curvature is often due to differences in the development of the tunica albuginea, sometimes associated with congenital conditions such as hypospadias. Most penile curvatures are congenital, while acquired curvatures can be further classified into two types:

– Peyronie’s disease

– Peyronie’s disease: A condition affecting the structure of the penis, causing irregular curvature during erection, often accompanied by pain, erectile dysfunction, and reduced quality of sexual life.

Treatment options may include observation, steroid injections, or surgery.

– Trauma-induced

Traumatic events such as accidents or fractures may lead to acquired penile curvature, where damaged tissue healing results in curvature in specific positions.

If you wish to consult about issues regarding penile curvature, it is recommended to take photographs after achieving an erection before the appointment. It’s suggested to capture images from multiple angles to facilitate the doctor’s assessment and judgment of the direction of penile curvature.

Decoding Penile Curvature Surgery!

There are three main surgical methods for correcting penile curvature:

Tunica Albuginea Plication: Involves folding and suturing the excessively curved part of the tunica albuginea. However, the tunica albuginea doesn’t truly heal, posing a risk of reopening along the suture lines in the following years.

Peyronie’s Disease: Involves cutting open the inner side of the curvature and patching it with a piece of skin. The specifics of the process depend on individual assessment by the physician.

Microscopic Tunica Albuginea Correction Surgery: This meticulous process entails cutting and re-suturing the tunica albuginea.Though more intricate, it offers stronger tensile strength after wound healing and significantly reduces the recurrence rate. Dr. Wang,Tso-Hsuan of Nice Clinique brought back this technique from the US in 2009, with a satisfaction rate of over 95% in cases performed to date.
