Penile Angulation

by Alike Medical Team ∙ Updated on June 13, 2023

Additional names

This group contains additional names: - Peyronie disease

General

The penile shaft may curvature due to peyronie disease, often preceded by painful erections and associated with fibrosis. As a result of buckling of the penile shaft with intromission or lack of rigidity distal to the area associated with fibrosis, the characteristic angulation is frequently associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). It appears that distal penile blood supply has been compromised, resulting in lack of rigidity.
