Subject: twisted penis in teen

Question
At my 13 yr. old son's physical last week the Dr. said that his penis appears twisted. The Dr. noticed this before, but it is apparently more noticable now. What could cause a penis to appear twisted & should I be concerned?

Answer
if he is uncircumcised, it may be some bands of skin twisting holding the foreskin twisted, but if it the penis, it needs to be looked at by a urologist.... peyronnie's disease ... I have never heard of it happening to someone below age 45 or so.... anyways, he needs to have this looked at.  I assume he can urinate fine, so he is probably OK for now.....
