Penis Curvature
You might think that a curvature in the penis is an abnormality but it might not be as as you might think. In fact, according to various surveys and statistics over 50 percent of men possess some degree of penis curvature. Everyone’s penis is shaped differently and a curve in any direction - left, right, up or down - is quite usual.
Penis curvature is characterized as an abnormal angulation of the erect penis (bent penis). Curvature of the penis alone is not harmful, but occasionally, severe bending would make intercourse difficult or impossible.
Causes of Penis Curvature
Well, although the cause of Peyronies Disease is not completely known, it’s usually caused by poor and inconsistent development of the corpora cavernosa during puberty or some kind of injury/ trauma to the penis during an erection
Restrictive clothing
- Boys who wear tight underwear get erections and in the process their penises are restricted from a normal outward growth.
- They often bend their penises over to the side to hide the embarrassing erection.
- This affects the development of the young penis because blood will flow better through one side of the spongy tissue and leave the other side under nourished.
Peyronie’s Disease
Penis curvature can also be caused by a more serious condition known as Peyronie’s Disease. In these cases, a hard plaque of fibrous scar tissue develops just beneath the skin of the penis. Because the scar tissue is extremely dense and inflexible, it is unable to expand during an erection, causing the penis to bend. In many cases, this scar tissue develops as a result of some sort of injury to the penis (for example, if the penis is sharply bent back during extremely vigorous sex.)
Home Remedies for Penis Curvature
This type of normal penis curvature can be corrected through exercise. The idea of natural penis enlargement is to strengthen and develop the erectile tissue.
- So in order to gradually straighten a curved penis, all you need to do is place more emphasis on developing the shorter of the two erectile chambers.
- This is achieved by using specific stretching exercises that over stimulate the weaker, shorter side of the penis. Within a couple of months it’s possible to totally correct a minor to moderate curve.
- A more severe curve i.e. over 30 degrees can be greatly reduced in this time, although it takes a few more months to fully develop the weaker of the two erectile chambers.
Penis Stretching Exercise
Penis stretching exercises are very simple to perform, and involve gripping around the head of the penis (usually while flaccid) and applying a pulling technique. The idea is to stretch the penis to its maximum comfortable limit, to the point where you feel a strong, positive stretch at the base of the shaft and in the suspensory ligament.
