condition where the penis bends abnormally when erect
Penile curvature, also known as a curved penis or bent penis, refers to a condition where the penis has an abnormal bend or curve, which can occur when erect or flaccid. This can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired, often due to Peyronie's disease, which involves the development of fibrous scar tissue inside the penis. The curvature can cause pain, difficulty with sexual intercourse, and emotional distress.
