Causes of genital curvature

Genital curvature, that is, penis curvature, is not a common phenomenon among men, but the impact of penis curvature on patients is huge. If it is not treated and conditioned, it will greatly affect men's sexual ability and affect the relationship between husband and wife. In addition, penile curvature can also have a certain impact on male fertility. So, what are the causes of penis curvature?

1. Cause Analysis

1. Congenital hypospadias with curvature of the penis.

2. The frenulum of the foreskin is too short, pulling on the glans and causing the penis to bend downward.

3. Peyronie's disease, which not only causes dorsiflexion or lateral curvature of the penis, but also causes erectile pain and sexual dysfunction.

4. The corpus spongiosum on the ventral side of the penis is abnormally developed or lacks corpus spongiosum.

5. Abnormal development of the tunica albuginea of ​​the penis. Due to the uneven development of the tunica albuginea of ​​the penis, one side is too tight and the other side is too loose, resulting in ventral curvature, dorsal curvature and lateral curvature of the penis.

6. Penile trauma, excessive force during sexual intercourse, incorrect sexual posture, causing penile injury and rupture of the tunica albuginea. In the future, crazy marks will be formed, causing the penis to bend due to bad living habits, such as uneven force during masturbation, wearing tight underwear that causes the penis to tilt to one side for a long time, etc.

7. Penis curvature is related to the individual's body tissue cells.

2. Hazards

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 types of curvature, the following explains the curvature caused by the penis when it is 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.

Corrective surgery

The foreskin is pulled back and drugs that make the penis erect are injected or a sufficient amount of saline is infused to observe the erect and bent penis. The excess tunica cavernosa is then creased and the tension caused by tightening it with non-absorbable sutures is used to gradually correct the bending angle of the penis. In this way, several consecutive creases can completely straighten the entire penis. For most patients, their erect penis cannot lift their head and chest or be parallel to the ground before surgery. This is completely changed after surgery. The fully erect penis can exceed the parallel line of the ground and even reach the abdomen. This allows the patient to observe whether the correction is satisfactory on the operating table.
