Bent Penis Problems: Why They Happen

and How to Cope

It sounds like a Dr. Seuss book, but some men have penises that go straight
and others upward. Some go right, others go left, and a few like to look at
their shoes. Bent penises aren’t at all unusual and most times aren’t a cause
for concern unless there’s a medical problem or pain involved. Here are a
few common bent penis problems and how to work with the curve.

What Causes a Bent Penis?

When a man becomes sexually aroused, blood flows into sponge-like spaces
inside of it, expanding the area and making it stiff. A bent penis generally
happens when these spaces don't swell evenly. Usually, this can just be
chalked up to a man’s unique anatomy, but on occasion one of these other
reasons below may be to blame.

1. Peyronie’s Disease – The number one cause of curvature of the penis

is Peyronie’s Disease. Up to 23 percent of men 40 and over are
affected by this lesser discussed disorder. Peyronie’s is a condition in
which the penis bends in any direction at an angle of 30 degrees or
more. It is caused when collagen plaques form on the connective
tissue around the spongy interior of the penis. This can make getting
firm and sexual activity quite painful. It’s recommended to see a
doctor as soon as the condition is noticed for a full consult and
treatment options.

2. Penile Injury – Working out too much, too hard, or too long can
injure the member downstairs. PS – Sex is also a workout. Things like
too much self-gratification or use of adult intimacy enhancers like
cock rings and penile enlargement pumps can also injure the penis. If
there’s intense pain, see a doctor immediately. For dull pain or
discomfort, give it a rest and use a cool compress to see if it helps. If
not, head to the doc.

3. Born This Way -- Almost 20 percent of men are born with a bent
penis. Newborn babies may have an abnormality called chordee, in

of the penis. The condition can be corrected surgically.

4. Autoimmune disorders – In those with autoimmune disorders, the

immune system attacks cells of the penis. Results of the attack can
include inflammation and scarring, which then leads to a curvature of
the penis. Some medications, like beta blockers, used to treat
autoimmune disorders have been shown to cause additional curvature
in some patients. Common examples of these type of diseases
include:
o Rheumatoid Arthritis
o Lupus
o Multiple Sclerosis
o Vasculitis

Bent Penis: Treatment and Care

When working with a bent penis, learn to respect and love what’s there. If
the curve is a result of a medical condition, treat the condition first and work
with a medical professional to find creative ways to express and enjoy
intimacy. Potentially see a medical professional with an expertise in sexual
function for the best ways to enjoy pain-free intimacy with a bent penis. A
sense of adventure and clear communication are necessary for any
successful journey.

Maintaining a good grooming schedule is also key to keeping a bent penis

happy. Clean daily and thoroughly with a gentle cleanser. After cleansing the
skin, apply a specially formulated penis health creme (health professionals
recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which has been clinically proven safe and
mild for skin) to keep the skin moisturized and supple. Nutrient creams that
are designed specifically for the penis should contain ingredients such as
vitamins A, C, D, and E because they are important for cellular turnover,
skin strengthening, and keeping bacteria at bay. In addition, men should look
for a product containing a natural moisturizer such as Shea butter, which
conditions and rejuvenates the skin.
