WHAT IS CONGENITAL CURVATURE?
Also known as the curved penis of the young, Congenital curvature is of genetic origin. Yes, some young people are born with a curvature in the penis, but they will only notice the deformity during puberty, due to the greater frequency of erections and penile development. This condition develops because one side of the penis is longer or more elastic than the other, leading to a bent penis when erect. Curvature can be sideways, up or down, or in some cases a combination of these two types.
It is estimated that around 4-10% of the male population suffers from congenital curved penis, however this rate has increased in recent years due to increased awareness of the problem.
SURGICAL CASES OF CONGENITAL PENILE CURVATURE
Men generally do not seek treatment when the angle of curvature is less than 30 degrees as intercourse is less affected. However, patients with more severe cases of congenital curvature report the following:
- Difficulty and pain in penetration
- Curvature of the penis that makes sexual intercourse impossible
- The penis escapes easily
- Restricted to few positions and short movements
- Pain and discomfort in partner
- Increased sensitivity of the glans, which can lead to premature ejaculation
- The abnormal aesthetics of the penis gets in the way, generates fear and shame
- Less often there are cases of psycho-erectile dysfunction, associated with stress and loss of self-confidence.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS
If the curvature is mild and doesn’t prevent you from having a normal, good quality sex life, you can live with it just fine. However, in case of doubt, it is important to consult your urologist for an opinion and to take the necessary care so that it does not get worse. The curvature leaves the penis more exposed to trauma during sexual intercourse and if this occurs the curvature will worsen.
The advantage of an early diagnosis is to prepare the young person for a future correction and guide him so that he does not develop a more serious case (such as Peyronie’s disease). Late discovery can bring traumatic consequences to men, compromising their sexual, psychological and social development. The Doctor. Paulo Egydio is dedicated to the treatment for the correction of various types of penile deformities such as curvature, thinning and loss of size, in addition to penile prosthesis implants.
