Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I recently learned what prone masturbation is and how harmful it is. I have been doing it that way for a couple of years now, on and off, but I do it most days. I move my penis to the left side of my body, and my erection curves to the left. I am 18, and I have thought I may have had Peyronie's for a while, and the anxiety is honestly eating me alive every second of the day. I am still a virgin but plan on having sex soon. However, I am so horrified that it will not work due to the shape of my penis. I feel like the penis has not changed shape in a while, but I do not always remember being as curved as it is now. But I am also not so sure. Please tell me what I can do to minimize the curve in my penis?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for consulting with us. Peyronie’s disease is penile curvature due to fibrosis of the tunica albuginea layer of the penis. This creates curvature on the side of fibrosis. The curvature degree varies. It starts with the painful inflammation phase, which can last for six months, followed by the painless stabilization phase. From my description above for Peyronie’s disease, I am sure you found a big difference between the issue you have and Peyronie’s. So I do not think you have Peyronie’s disease, so do not worry. A slight curvature towards the right or left will not affect sexual intercourse or activity. I suggest you stop the habit of turning the penis towards the left, as we do not know if you might get the injury and inflammation leading to Peyronie’s disease. If you have any more queries, please let me know.

Thanks and regards.
