Curved penis affects "sex"?

This is an automatically translated article.

Penile curvature occurs when patches of scar tissue form under the skin of the penis, causing it to deform. Men living with this condition often worry constantly about “can I have sex with a bent penis” and pain during intercourse. Knowing the facts about penile curvature can help you cope with what can happen from the condition along with how treatment options can help.

1. Why is the penis curved?

Curved penis, also known as Peyronie's disease, occurs when fibrous scar tissue forms beneath the skin of the penis. This condition causes the penis to become bent and painful, making sex difficult or impossible. The plaques of Peyronie's disease have a completely different nature from the plaques that accumulate in the blood vessels, which are plaques caused by fatty deposits.
The cause of Peyronie's disease is not fully understood but may be due to high blood cholesterol, diabetes, erectile dysfunction and local microtrauma to the penis.

2. Can a curved penis have sex?

Curvature of the penis occurs in 6% of men aged 40 to 70 years. Symptoms of the disease may improve on their own without treatment. Furthermore, not all affected men will experience pain or sexual dysfunction, even if the curvature of the penis has been significantly altered.
However, erectile dysfunction is more common in people with Peyronie's disease. There are several possible reasons for the link between Peyronie's disease and erectile dysfunction, such as fibrous scar tissue that makes it difficult to get an erection. In addition, the ability to have an erection can also be limited if the nerves or blood vessels of the penis are damaged by inflammation or trauma to the penis, which is associated with Peyronie's disease.
Because of this, many people living with Peyronie's disease often experience a lot of anxiety and depression because of this condition. These feelings can also lead to challenges with sexual function, so symptoms often combine. Finally, pain (especially during active disease) can contribute to erectile dysfunction for some people with Peyronie's disease.
3. Men suffering from curved penis are affected by women or not? Peyronie's disease often causes pain during an erection. But that condition is not only painful for themselves, but it can also make their partner uncomfortable.
Research 2020 shows that nearly half of female partners of men with this condition experience at least moderate pain or discomfort during vaginal intercourse. In some cases, couples are unable to engage in certain sexual activities they enjoyed prior to Peyronie's.
Although it can be difficult to talk about Peyronie's disease, communication and empathy are key to maintaining a relationship with your partner. On the other hand, if Peyronie's disease makes it difficult for both of you to have sex in a familiar way, it may be time to explore new forms. Partners can use different positions or explore other forms of intimacy and pleasure beyond intercourse to achieve satisfaction.

4. What are the treatments for a curved penis? Treatments for Peyronie's disease range from injections to surgery and penile implants with the goal of reducing curvature and improving sexual function.
However, not all people with the disease need treatment. If pain is the main symptom, over-the-counter pain relievers, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be helpful to make erections more comfortable.
In addition, there are several surgical and non-surgical treatments for Peyronie's disease. While they often focus on reversing the curvature and breaking up scar tissue, some treatments have the added benefit of enhancing partner satisfaction for those with the condition.
One observation showed that sexually satisfied female partners increased from 34% to 88% when men were treated with penile surgery, 90 to 100% after they underwent a plaque incision or amputation partial removal of the implant and 40 to 75% after a prosthesis (a treatment usually reserved for people with severe Peyronie's disease and erectile dysfunction).
However, it is important to note that the existing study only examined women who were closely related to men with Peyronie's disease, so further research is needed to determine whether the condition and the methods used to treat Peyronie's disease. How treatment might affect a non-female partner.

5. These penis guards are not bent

There are several things men and their partners need to do to help protect their penis from Peyronie's disease:
Take Erectile Dysfunction Medications: Most men only need to see a doctor about erectile dysfunction when they have erectile dysfunction. It's almost impossible to have normal sex. Instead, men should seek treatment as soon as they begin to notice weaker erections, about 5, 6 or 7 out of 10, to prevent Peyronie's disease. This “erectile dysfunction” is a precursor to the disease and usually occurs gradually over time. The more a man keeps an erection, the stronger his penis is, the less likely he is to get Peyronie's disease. Use a lubricant: If your female partner doesn't excrete enough natural vaginal lubricant, use an over-the-counter lubricant. If the penis slips out of the vagina during intercourse, use your hand to guide the penis back in. Always on: When on the bottom and the female partner on top, the penis may be forced to curve more. Straight in and out quickly: Avoid movements that can cause the penis to warp during hard thrusts. Warning: Avoid having sex when you are too tired, have an acute illness or have had too much alcohol. An erection of the penis may not be achieved firmly.
In conclusion, a curved penis can have a big impact on a man's sex life and his partner's comfort during sex. Instead of constantly worrying “is a curved penis dangerous”, men should actively explore treatment options, have an open and honest conversation, and see a therapist to reduce their symptoms. effects of sexual dysfunction.
