QUESTION: I do not know where else to turn as this question is even too
embarrassing to ask my own physician
I have noticed lately that when I have
an erection of my private, that is has begun to have a shape with a curving
twist to the side
I never noticed this before, and am worried
Do you know
what causes this, and if anything can be done about it?

ANSWER: There is no cause for embarrassment, as regrettably there is a
condition known as Peyronie’s Disease which can do exactly what you are
describing
This problem is seen in adult men and science does not provide us
a full explanation of its cause
Inside of the penis are two bundles of
tissue that, when filled with blood, produce an erection
In Peyronie’s
disease, these bundles develop scar tissue that replaces the normal spongelike
tissue normally found there
This scarring leads to the curving of the erect
penis towards the side of the scar (which grows shorter as it retracts), which
can be quite painful
This scarring can progress and actually lead to an
inability to have an erection
Surgery can be performed in an attempt to
correct the condition, but more scarring can result from the surgery itself,
which can aggravate the condition further
X-ray therapy has been used with
some success, as have injections of cortisone
Here again, the results are
often not all one could wish for
It is this kind of situation that makes
personal medical care so important, and you may gain a much better
understanding and some real help if you consult your personal family doctor.
I realize that it may take a bit of courage to overcome your reluctance to
discuss this, but it is the only way in which you will get the help I think
you need.
