Penile Correction Surgery

Penile curvature can be acquired/ congenital, which can make the sexual intercourse painful/ difficult based on the severity of the condition and the amount of internal bleeding due to the plaque. Congenital penile curvature is caused by an scar ie invisible plaque under the penile shaft or can be left to right that is laterally along the penis. Acquired penile curvature is caused by an scar ie invisible plaque in the corpus cavernosa along the penis, this is also known as Peyronie’s disease. More susceptible than the younger and older men are the middle aged men. The scar tissue does not allow full erection and hence the penis appears curved during an erection.
