This group contains additional names: - Peyronie disease
The penile shaft may curvature due to peyronie disease, often preceded by painful erections and associated with fibrosis. As a result of buckling of the penile shaft with intromission or lack of rigidity distal to the area associated with fibrosis, the characteristic angulation is frequently associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). It appears that distal penile blood supply has been compromised, resulting in lack of rigidity.

To diagnose penile curvature, your doctor will typically take a medical and sexual history. Having your penis examined while erect may also be helpful for your doctor. To provoke an erection, vasoactive drugs can be injected.
Nonsurgical treatments include injections, oral medicines, and medical therapies. A urologist may recommend surgery to remove plaque or help straighten the penis during an erection.
