Penis Curvature

Create a request

Penis curvature correction is a surgical procedure aimed at rectifying abnormal curvature of the penis, a condition known as Peyronie's disease. This curvature can interfere with sexual function and cause pain. The procedure helps to restore the normal appearance and functionality of the penis.

Penis Curvature

General

Penis curvature correction surgery, or penile straightening, involves making incisions in the scar tissue causing the curvature, followed by grafting or plication to straighten the penis. The surgical approach depends on the severity and location of the curvature, the presence of erectile dysfunction, and the patient's personal preferences. The surgery generally lasts one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Postoperative care is crucial for healing and includes pain management, limitation of physical activity, and, in some cases, the use of a penile stretcher or vacuum device to maintain the penis's new shape.

Special Details

Who is it for?

  • Men with Peyronie's disease experiencing significant penile curvature that affects sexual intercourse or causes pain.
  • Individuals who have not responded to or are not candidates for non-surgical treatments.
  • Those experiencing psychological distress or relationship problems due to the curvature.

Recovery Period

  • The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, with hospital stay ranging from same-day discharge to one night stay.
  • Full recovery usually takes 4 to 6 weeks, during which sexual activity should be avoided.
  • Patients may return to light activities within a few days but should avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks.

Potential Risks and Side Effects

  • Temporary numbness or change in penile sensation.
  • Shortening of the penis due to scar tissue formation.
  • Risk of erectile dysfunction.
  • Recurrence of curvature.

Alternative Treatments

  • Oral medications or injections into the scar tissue to reduce curvature for mild cases.
  • Penile traction therapy or a vacuum erection device to gradually reduce curvature.
  • In cases of erectile dysfunction, penile prosthesis implantation may be considered.

Success Rate

The success rate varies but typically ranges from 70% to 90%, with many men achieving significant improvement in straightness and reduction in pain.
