Having a bent penis is more common than we imagine. In some cases the tortuosity is soft and does not stop the man from having sex, and also it does not bring any kind of embarrassment. But when the curvature has reached a critical stage it is necessary to make a treatment to straighten the penis, if it is not well treated it can get worse and cause sexual and psychological problems.
Whatever the case is, a common question among men: why does the penis become bent? This answer I’ll be given you in this post, but before proceeding any further, it’s important to know that the curvature can be either genetic or acquired.
Understanding the penile curvature
First of all it is crucial to keep in mind that the penile curvature can only be noticed during erection, when the tissues are fully stretched, because it has an important influence in the shape of the penis. The desirable situation is when they have the same elasticity.
Congenital Penile Curvature or Peyronie’s Disease?
When the man is born with a curved or bent penis, the problem has a genetic origin. This is what we call as Congenital Curved Penis or Curved Penis of the Young. In cases like this, the slope happens because of the difference in the elasticity of the tissues.
It means that one side of the penis is smaller than the other, causing a pull when the penis is erect, giving it a tortuosity to the sides, up or even down. This is one of the most common types of congenital curvature and many young men suffer from it, as they take time to seek medical help.
On the other hand, there are situations in which the man is born with a straight penis, or with a slight curvature, and acquires a greater tortuosity due to some trauma in the penile tissue. It can be caused by a shock during sexual intercourse or by various microcracks, either in the tunica albuginea or in deep penile membranes.
In this case it is possible that the man has developed the Peyronie’s Disease, which must be monitored and treated properly to avoid complications.

In most cases, Peyronie’s disease is linked to some erection problem, which may be associated with advanced age, hormonal issues or other conditions that can disrupt blood flow within the penis.
It turns out that the poor quality of the erection predisposes to the occurrence of traumas and microtraumas during sexual intercourse, causing the formation of fibrosis and deformities in the penis. Due to this fibrosis, formed by a plaque or lump, the penile membrane becomes less elastic, increasing the curvature in the penis, often also followed by a thinning or decreasing size.
Studies has also shown that Peyronie Disease can occur in patients who have predisposition or heredity in the formation of scars, the plaque responsible for curving the penis.
The acquired penile curvature should be identified and treated quickly to avoid further complications for your buddy. Be aware of the Peyronie’s stages and find out if you have any symptoms of the disease.
