Twisted Penis Treatment

One of the important parts of a healthy life is a healthy sex life. Although psychological reasons take the first place on the basis of sexual dysfunctions that are frequently encountered today, the presence of other underlying diseases can also cause various disorders in some cases. One of these disorders is Peyronie’s disease, also known as penile curvature among the people.

How Does an Oblique Penis Form?

Penile curvature usually means the emergence of fibrotic, hard connective tissues in the dorsal part of the penile body due to various factors, causing the penile body to take a certain angle during erection and causing other problems by compressing the surrounding tissues according to its size. Penile curvature from abnormal tissue, bleeding of subcutaneous tissue as a result of various traumas in fibrotic tissue, and penile curvature may develop as a result of some genetic factors and other diseases.

In healthy people, as a result of sexual stimulation, the vascular spaces in the penis called the cavernous body begin to expand by filling with blood, and the penile sheath surrounding these vascular spaces is stretched, causing pressure on the vessels of the penis. In this way, the return of the filled blood to the body is prevented and an erection is achieved.

In cases of Peyronie’s disease, fibrotic connective tissue compresses the cavernous bodies responsible for penile erection, preventing or causing difficulty in maintaining an existing erection. In some cases, it can cause pain by pressing on the surrounding nerve and vascular tissues.

What Causes an Oblique Penis?

According to research, the exact cause of Peyronie’s disease is unknown. However, some mechanisms causing the disease have been identified in these studies. Accordingly, it is thought that the bleeding foci in the subcutaneous tissues as a result of trauma to the penis turn into sclerotic bands (hard connective tissue) over time after the wound heals. The traumas mentioned are bending of the penis or damage during erection. It can be said that the risk of penile curvature increases with age, especially because the tissues are more easily injured and healed more difficult with advanced age.

However, although Peyronie’s disease is a common disease after the age of 40, 8-10% of the cases are individuals under the age of 40. In younger patients, penile curvature appears to be more severe and present with more severe symptoms such as painful erection. and erectile dysfunction.

At the same time, the absence of any trauma history in some patients with penile curvature suggests that non-traumatic factors may also play a role in the development of the disease. In this sense, it is thought that the risk of developing abnormal connective tissues leading to Peyronie’s disease is higher in people whose wounds heal abnormally, especially after injury to any part of the body. In addition, it is thought that the risk of penile curvature is higher in people with Dupuytren’s contracture, which causes limitation in finger movements as a result of the formation of abnormal connective tissue in the initial region of the hand finger tendons.

In summary, penile curvature may occur depending on risk factors such as genetic structure, age, other diseases and trauma history.
