I am just 15, but for four months I have
had a constant left curve in my penis. It
curves, while flaccid, semi-erect, and
fully erect, and the more in erects the
more it curves. My penis had always had a
slight curve to the left, but one time
after masturbating 2 times within a short
time period (this was the first time I
really masturbating within such a short
time) it started curving while non-erect,
and I noticed it was odd. However, it
went away after a couple days. Then I did
the same thing again, and the same result,
except with a bigger curve when it is
erect, except this time it still has not
gone away.
I am thinking there may be some scar
tissue but I am not sure. I have noticed
there has been an appearance of veins at
the bottom of my penis that extend out in
different directoins. These are thin
veins that are prominent when the penis is
erect, but I can still faintly see them
when it is non-erect. Also, I am not sure
if this has anything to do with anything
mental (because my confidence has gone
down), but it seems like I am ejaculating
earlier than before.
If anyone has any help with what this is
or what I can do , thank you.

Umm yes.
There is a name for this and I can't think
of it.
**racks brain**
peyronie's disease - actually I doubt you
have that because that usually begins with
a painful lump. And is very uncommon in
someone your age.
Seriously if this has just started to
happen you ought to see your doctor for a
health check - don't worry s/he has seen
1000's of penises of various shapes and
sizes.

Could this just be a case of scar tissue
that is not peyronie's disease. I don't
really have any other symptons of
peyronie's, but I don't really know. If
it is scar tissue, what steps can I take,
and would it be advised to masturbate at
all or not. I do not want to any more for
pleasure's sake, but I feel that I may
need to for health's sake. I plan on
waiting a couple more months to see if it
naturally heals, but I would appreciate
any insight from someone who has had
something similar happen to them
personally, or know of someone who had
something similar.

Seeing doctor is the best solution. Not
just in you r case, for any health related
issue. But I remember one, here in this
forum, suggested trying masturbating with
the other hand. It seems logical. I
myself didnt try that because mine is a
bit downwards. What should I do? hope you find the
best way...For me if it stays as it is
now, no prob...It is just something to pee
and have sex...Not more..(knowing that
they r also very crucial for life).. But
it is not a heart or brain..

Wow I have the same problem. I even
though was this me who wrote this. Its
the same exact thing. Even the vains in
the bottom of the penis. I think its
caused by masterbation. There is a slight
dent were my index finger wrap round the
penis when I musterbate. So now I stoped
holding it in that way wen I musterbate
but it doesnt seem to fix the problem.
Please post more if you find out more
about it

a problem as such isn't just going to go
away, I agree with Kia. This is quite
uncommon for your age group. Although take
a quick glance at the bold in the facts.
Which I thank you UW9118 for not being one
of those boys asking why their penis is at
a left curve.
I get that question often.
-taken from wikipedia-
A certain degree of curvature of the penis
is considered normal, as many men are born
with this benign condition, commonly
referred to as congenital curvature. This
causes the penis to point in a direction
other than directly forward, while still
having a relatively straight shaft. Such
curvature is not caused by Peyronie's
Disease.
The disease may cause pain, hardened,
cord-like lesions (scar tissue known as
"plaques"), or abnormal curvature of the
penis when erect. In addition, narrowing
and or shortening of the penis may occur.
Pain felt in the early stages of the
disease often resolves in twelve to
eighteen months. Erectile dysfunction, in
varying degrees, often accompanies these
symptoms in the later stages of the
disease process. The condition may also
make sexual intercourse painful and/or
difficult, though many men report
satisfactory intercourse in spite of the
disease. Although it can affect men of
any race and age, it is most
commonly seen in caucasian males above the
age of 40. Peyronie's Disease is not
contagious, nor is it related in any way
to cancer. The disease only affects men
and is confined to the penis, although a
substantial number of men with Peyronie's
exhibit concurrent connective tissue
disorders in the hand, and to a lesser
degree, in the feet.
A urologist can diagnose the disease and
suggest treatment, and it is best to seek
out a urologist who specializes in
Peyronie's Disease, as the disease and its
current treatments are not well understood
by most urologists in general practice.
Commonly prescribed oral treatments, such
as Vitamin E and potassium aminobenzoate
(Potaba), are of limited value. Newer
agents targeting the basic mechanisms of
inflammation show promise, but have not
yet been studied in larger clinical
trials.

A curved penis is normal if it has always
been that way. Many men think their penis
is curved due to masturbation when they
were younger, but that is not the case.
During an erection, the penis fills with
blood, but it does not always fill evenly.
You can kind of picture it like the penis
has balloons in it. Those balloons fill
up with blood. Sometimes the balloon on
one side of the penis is longer than the
balloon on the other side of the penis.
That is the most common cause of a curved
penis.
Injury and scar tissue can also make the
penis curve. This is more common in older
men. Injuries that can cause the penis to
curve include, but are not limited to,
getting kicked in the groin or the penis
being bent during rough sex.
Masturbation is very healthy for most
people, so do not be afraid to do it
unless your doctor has told you that you
shouldn't for some reason.
Since your penis has not always been this
way, it sounds like you should talk to a
doctor. If you are not feeling pain,
chances are it won't be anything to worry
too much about, but it's best to get
checked out anyway. Most men live just
fine with their curved penis and have sex
with no problems. In the meantime, avoid
tight clothing. Wear something roomy
enough to give your penis a bit of room to
move.

Does peyronie's disease cause a curve when
the penis is non-erect. This is what I
have the biggest problem with, sure the
penis curve will be inconvienent for sex
since its a large curve, but it bugs me
most for when I have to pee. It naturally
twists to the left without being erect,
which is so annoying especially when using
urinals, as I always have to twist it back
to center.
Anyways, from what I have read, I haven't
really seen non-erect curves mentioned
regarding the peyronie's disease, but I am
not sure.
I will talk to my doctor, but I won't be
able to drive until July, so I have been
able to find a home remedy. I have seen
some sort medicine on the Dr.Lin site
(actionlove.com I believe) and I wonder if
that stuff is legit, as I could feasibly
have someone order it for me.

Yes, peyronie's can cause the penis to
curve even when flaccid, although the
curve is often much less noticeable when
the penis is flaccid.
I looked at the actionlove.com site. That
site is such garbage it's not even funny.
Not only should you absolutely not order
anything from there, you shouldn't read
anything that's on that site at all. It's
full of the grossest misinformation.
Please don't take anything on that site
seriously and don't use that as your sex
education.
I Think I May Have a Theory... Posted: 08-05-07 08:56am
I have seen a doctor for the curve in my
penis and at the time, about 4 years ago,
my family physician told me not to worry
about the curve and that it is normal. I
have been thinking about possible causes
for this curve and one possible cause
comes to mind before all else.
I did not get circumcised when I was born.
Instead, I was circumcised when I was 4
years old. I think that because of the
late circumcision and due to my penis
being in the early stages of development,
the way the circumcision was done may have
led to the curve in my penis that I notice
now.
Does anyone else think this might be a
practical cause?
