Crooked shape of the penis - is
masturbation a cause? What can be done to
correct it?
Masturbation does not
cause any physical deformity of the penis
and is in no way harmful to health.
Masturbation is normal and generally
beneficial. There should be no worries or
feelings of guilt on this aspect.
A curved penis is
caused either by natural factors during
the growth through adolescence to manhood
or by a condition knows as
Peyronie’s disease.
-
The natural
curvature occurs when the two
chambers of the penis (corpora
cavernosa) develop at different rates
through the years, thus bending the
penis toward the slower developing
chamber. The reasons for this uneven
development are not known and this
tendency cannot be forecast or
prevented. However, there are
treatments available for correcting
the problem once it
occurs.
-
Peyronie’s
disease is a condition named after
Francois de la Peyronie, surgeon to
Louis XIV of France, who was the
first man to describe a treatment in
1743. While the cause of this disease
is not well understood, its mechanism
is perfectly clear.
The “tunica albuginea” is
the tough layer of connective tissue
that contains the sponge-like Corpora
Cavernosa. For reasons unknown, scar
tissue begins to form in the
“tunica albuginea”, which
prevents the normal expansion of the
penis during erections and, in time,
bends the penis to one side or the
other.
Although the disease is somewhat
painful at first, the pain eventually
goes away on its own. The only
remaining effects of this disease are
the curvature, which is visible when
the penis is erect, and possibly a
shortening of the penis in the
flaccid state.
How to Straighten a
Bent Penis
Various treatment
options have been tried over the years.
These include Vitamin E therapy,
potassium aminobenzoate (a Vitamin
B-complex) therapy and injections of
calcium channel blockers, such as
verapamil, directly into the penis. None
of these treatments has a proven record
of success and the injections have been
known to cause harmful side effects.
Surgery has been used
a treatment option in the past. However,
surgery on the penis carries a level of
risk that we consider unacceptable.
|
Currently,
the recommended treatment is
application of a traction force
applied to the penis to
straighten the curvature - this
has been proven effective and
safe.
This procedure
involves the use of a
penis traction device. The
constant pull of the traction
force loosens up the
“tunica albuginea”
and then straightens the penis.
In clinical trials, high levels
of success have been recorded in
treating curved penis /
Peyronie's Disease with penis
traction, with no harmful side
effects.
