Question : this is very embarrassing, but I am a 67 yr. old healthy man. My penis bends to the left and has been doing so for several months. I have been wearing looser underwear and pants but nothing has changed.

Brief Answer:
This s Peyronie’s disease. See an Urologist!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this curvature that you have reported. This is caused by fibrosis(scarring) of the penile erectile tissue. Because of this, the area can no longer get erect and it is causes a curvature to that side. There are treatment options for this. One is using Vitamin E to try repair the scarring and another is to consider a surgical repair. Before delving into these, I will recommend that you see an Urologist for confirmation and start of management.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
