Have A Curve When Penis Is Erect. Now Feel Pressure In The Base. Feel Tightness. Like A Scar Tissue. Tension. How To Overcome This?

Hi, am curious about a change in my penis when getting an erection. Naturally I had a curve when erect basically like a banana, straight forward and up. Recently I started to feel pressure at the base, like if you had a slightly too small ring on it. After further exam, it actually has a narrowing appearance to it, at the base and a bit internal. The tightness causes my penis to now actually bend slightly down to the left. Can see my natural curve trying so to speak but now gets held out instead of pointing North...! Everything seems to function fine but it is actually getting a bit uncomfortable with time as when erect it feel more squeezed, pressure. Now I can handle a change in appearance, and not severe compared to other examples I have seen online. Just want to know what may have cause it or what it is? If there is anything I can do to either keep it like this or slow down any more of the narrowing as I am afraid it may keep getting worse and then become painful. It is almost like a ring of scar tissue with more on under left side keeping it pulled down left when erect? Also with this it doesn't reach full potential in size and stiffness. Tension and bloodflow due to narrowing I am sure. Any info on this kind of thing would be appreciated.. Although it would be nice to go a bit back to normal, I can deal with it as long as it keeps working, doesn't become too painful, and isn't something I should actually be worried about? Sorry to ramble, just found this site and feel I can finally ask. Not afraid to ask my doc, but in order to see/show problem, have to get erection and that is not a very comfortable thought!! Lol. Thanks for reading. YYYY@YYYY

Hello
Welcome to HCM

Slight curvature of penis is a normal thing observed during erection in a healthy male. This is found in most of males. There is nothing to worry about that. You have mentioned that you feel band like pressure at base of penis. It could be a psychological problem most probably as you have not mentioned any history of injury or any other illness. As per my opinion there is no need to worry, pressure like discomfort can be observed some time and it should be considered normal. Still if you have doubt you can visit a Surgeon and get yourself checked for any anatomical deformity.

Thanks
