Penile curvatures can be congenital or acquired. Congenital curvatures (CC) are seen at younger ages, mainly during adolecence. If he is too much concerned abut the appearence of his penis or if he is having difficulty in penetration, these CC can only be managed with a surgical correction, which does not have serious complications. Acquired cases, called the Peyronie's Disease, is characterized by plaque formations on the tunica albuginea layer of the penis. These plaques may cause shrinkage of the penis, loss of penile size, deviations, hinges, knotches or hour-glass deformities. It can also cause erectile problems. A urologic expert about the topic may recommend patient based solutions in wide diversity; including oral treaments, LI-SWT or surgical procedures with or without the implantation of grafts or penile prosthesis.
