What Causes Painful Erections?

my fiance has been out of the country for months. He experienced pain with erections while sleeping for about 5 nights in a row. sensation like a pulled muscle . However, while masturbating to make sure there wasn t an issue with his functionality, there was no pain. When returning home, he showed me and his penis is now bent and the lower shaft is hard and smooth while the upper half is ribbed, not smooth. Sorry, hard to describe. No pain any more but there is a definite change to his penis.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Penile curvature can sometimes be related to Peyronie disease. This is a condition where there are plaques in the penile shaft that may alter the shape of the penis. There are treatment options if this is the case. He should consider seeing a urologist for assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
