Disadvantages of Penile Curvature Correction Surgery

A normal male's penis is very soft when not erect, like a caterpillar, and becomes straight when erect, like a pillar made of cast iron. However, some men find that their penis is no longer as straight as before, but becomes more and more curved as they age or after having too much sex. Therefore, many men will choose penis correction surgery. So what are the disadvantages of penis correction surgery?

1. Basic Information

Penile curvature is the most common male genital disease. There are many reasons for penile curvature. In many cases, improper sexual life can also cause penile curvature in men. In short, the harm caused by penile curvature is self-evident. If you have penile curvature, you should go to the hospital for corrective surgery as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. When the penis is in normal condition in young men, the average length is 8.375 cm, and the average length when the penis is erect is 12 cm. Since there are many cases of penile curvature, the following explains the curvature caused by the penis being engorged and erect, mainly physiological, congenital, and pathological. During sexual excitement, the corpora cavernosa become filled with blood, and the sizes of the filled corpora cavernosa are different, so the penis bends in the direction with less blood. This is a physiological curvature and has no effect on sexual life. Congenitally short frenulum can also cause penis curvature.

However, curvature can also be caused by 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 dorsal side of the penis. Most of these conditions require plastic surgery to correct. So as not to affect its normal function.

Second surgical indications

The age of patients with penile curvature is concentrated between 18 and 40 years old, followed by 50 to 60 years old! Hospital experts said that in the outpatient clinic, it can be found that young patients aged 20-40 are in the stage of more frequent sexual life, and are also more concerned about the changes in their sexual organs, so they actively seek medical treatment. Some of them are asked by their partners to come for consultation. Some patients are even afraid to have girlfriends or get married due to psychological factors. In addition, some patients suffer acute penile fractures due to overly intense sexual behavior and are sent to the emergency room.

When the penis bends more than 15 degrees, sexual intercourse becomes difficult! Experts say that in outpatient clinics, 90% of patients with penile curvature have ventral curvature (curved downward), and 10% have dorsal curvature (curved upward). When the ventral curvature of the penis (downward curvature) exceeds 15 degrees, sexual intercourse becomes difficult, while the dorsal curvature of the penis (upward curvature) can be tolerated within a range of 30 degrees.
