Consultation: Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease affects approximately 80,000 men in the UK and although it tends to run in families, it can also be caused by damage to the penis. In this consultation taken from series one of Embarrassing Illnesses, Dr Christian Jessen refers a patient with Peyronie’s to undergo surgery to correct his curve!

ye basically im 18 years old and i was just curious because my penis curves to the left at about 30-45 degrees is this normal or should i see a doctor about it.
i am suffering from very weakness and dark circle in my eyes,so iam started masturbating in age of 9yrs, now my age is 25yrs iam continue masturbating,now iam suffering from dark circle in my eyes and also suffering from weakness and peni is very small and bend so,give me suggestion.
hello, my name is david and i have discovered i have a tilted top half of my penis it isnt to far tilted but it is the top half tilted to the left and i am very shy i have told my mum but i dont want to go to my GP but can i live my life as normal for the rest of my life? thanks.
I have had a bent penis for as long as can remember and im 35 now. I cant go to my GP as in my village as some of my friends work at the doctors. I realy need help as its getting me down now and sex isnt an option for me as im so shy. I have tried NHS helpline and they just said go to your GP. I cant. What can I do?
Hi I am 15 and have a bent penis what should I do as I am really embarised about it and I really don't no what to do. I have never told anyone. I have never had sex. What are my options and will it hurt?
Its unlikley that it will. I have the same problem but ive never experienced any problems or pain during sex. Hope that helps
im 16 and have the same. i suggest going to your doctors. Mine is a pretty big bend and i have had loads of sex. The girls i have had sex with say it's easier to perform oral sex and sex feels the same as a straight penis. I havent been to a GP about this and i don't want to. It's who i am.
i've got downward bent penis during erection, the curve is pretty extreme rendering it not possible to point more than 90 degrees assessed from standing position. if forced it induced slight pain. I've never had sex, but if I asses myself I would not be able to do positions where penis is required to be more than 90 degrees angle, for example woman on top. It could break for all I know. What is the solution for me? and if it is surgery, what is the approximate cost thanks
Im 14 years old, and i have a bent penis. Its bent to the left about an inch to the left in the middle. Ive had this for as long as i can remember. I never had any injuries down there before, never had sex, but i have masturbated before and it doesnt hurt when i do it nor when erected. Im VERY embarresed. And i really need help. Im too embarresed to tell my parents or anyone. Is there anything i can do for myself? If anything, please, the littlest info will help. Thank you.
Hi, I think the bend in my penis started to be noticeable when I was about your age. I've lived with it for more than 15 years but it kind of got worse and is now affecting my sexual life with my wife. It doesn't hurt me at all. I'm having surgery very shortly to correct the problem and I think you should see your GP who will refer you to the urologist. Don't be embarrassed to tell your parents, if someone is to give you support and understanding it'd be them! good luck!
I have an almost identical problem. A bend to the left half way up. You really shouldnt worry about it. You shouldnt experience any pain or problems during sex i never have and theres nothing to be embarassed about its quite common nobody is perfect so dont get upset about it. When u meet a girl they are just as likely to be conscious about themselves down there. Hope that helps
Hi im 17 years old and about a year ago while haveing sexual intercourse my girlfriend at the time was on top and as we were having sex i felt a sharp pain in the left side of my penis subsequently ive noticed my penis prgressively bending its not terrible as theres only a slight curve but i still am not happy with even a little curve as i miss my old willy lol any ways i was jus wondering if i was to see my gp if it was possible if even i could have the operation even though my symptoms are not that bad i know theres a 12 month wait to be considered for surgery but i really want it
Hi. I have the same problem as guy on the video. What should I do? Where should I go in order to get some help? Im extremely worried, could you please help me?
I had the same problem, it has taken about 3 months but I am seeing real results as I did not want to have surgery. The Andro from maxhim has worked well for me and has lots of medical research to back it up. My wife and I have just resumed making love after a gap of many months, and it is a huge relief to be getting back to some straightness! Its just time and patience and sadly it seems that the NHS would rather operate than provide a traction device as it is not available on the NHS.
In December I had a fall which caused me many injuries but one problem has only just occurred 'pyronies'. there is a lump in the middle of my penis and it bends 30% to the left when erect. So worried I recently had a consultation referred by my GP, outcome:DR did an ultrasound scan which showed scarring on both sides of the penis;I was told that over time(only been 3xmonths)it may correct itself and any operation would have to wait at least 12xmonths! I'm 44 with partner of 21yrs and extremely worried that time will make it worse,sex is a huge turn-off now and depresses me constantly as I have always been very active.Is there anything else that can be done at this time? Research seems never ending!
