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!

If you’re suffering from any of the conditions featured on this site and want to apply for an onscreen consultation with one of the EB team then you can find more details here >>

I have a penis that bends downwards and the only position that ever really worked when I am on top is doggy style. unfortunately my girlfriend hates that position but i can't get her off in any other position if I'm on top. She can cum if she is on top which i usually don't mind but sometimes id like to feel like i am participating. What can i do? are there other positions I can try? I can get her off orally or with my fingers which she likes but most of the time she wants to get off during intercourse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there There are ways to help a curved penis without surgery as well. There are stretching techniques that equal out the chambers and these have been utilized for centuries. Of course if you are having pain you should always have an assessment from your doctor and for those of you who do not want surgery please know there are other alternatives. I have been teaching these for over 25 years. Thanks for this very cool website. be amazing Tanja www.tantra-for-men.com
