What Causes Dents In The Penis While On Erection?

Hi and thank you. When I have an erection I have a 'dent' in my penis in a couple of places. I also have ED and when I take viagra for an erection I can have some pain in my penis as well.

I'm 66 and have had the problem for 20 years or more. I'm 5'10", 195#. I have bipolar disorder and arthritis in a knee and hip. I also suffer with back pain...especially lower back pain. Else, I've lived and played hard so there have been many things that have happened. Ask if you need more information. Thanks again, Mike

Hi, mild dents in the area are normal but they should usually not lead to curvature changes or performance problems. Are there any such things? If there is history of trauma or injury to the penis then it is perfectly normal to have a dented corpora - the layer that causes the erection. I would advise you to not worry about it and carry on as you are. If Viagra is not causing you any problems then thats great. Take care.
