Subject: penis damage
Question
Hi,
About a year ago I noticed my penis leaning to the right as it was getting erect. It went fully straight once fully erect but it never did that before, also i noticed a slight discomfort down the right side about half way down. i think i did it during a very physical sex session. The pain has since gone but the leaning thing has got worse. I'm worried I've damaged my penis but don't feel comfortable speaking to a doctor. I've read about penis traction devices being able to fix my problem but I don't know whether to trust them companies or not. could you please advise me further or suggest somewhere i could find out more info
Regards
Chris
Answer
Chris:
We do not recommend any kind of penis traction device. This forum is full of people asking for help from injuries to their penis from such devices. I wouldn't trust any of the companies that sell such devices.
Penile curvature is often an early sign of Peyronie's disease. While benign, the curvature can become worse. To check on this, consult a urologist.
