Penile curvature or Peyronie's disease caused by hard tissues mainly scar tissues in the penis causing it to bend and curve during an erection. This curvature may be slight and unnoticeable if less than 5° or in severe cases more than 35°. It is believed that this symptom is caused by some previous trauma. If there had been no obvious trauma then it may have been acquired through rigorous sexual intercourse that caused minute scar tissues to form over several episodes of sexual activity. During sexual excitement the penis filled is with blood and starts to elongate and stretch and then starts to erect. However the scarred area of the penis is not as elastic as the rest of the penis and cannot stretch and as a result a curve is bent around the plaque of scar tissue. Depending on the location of the scar it may influence the way it curve upwards or downwards. If there are equal amount of scar tissue above the penile shaft as well as below the then it may even out and not curve at all. The problem usually starts with a pain in the penis and the feeling of a bump on the shaft. The man will notice a curve starting to appear either upward downward or side way. Usually it will jot go away on its own. If the curvature is severe enough to cause pain to the man or to his partner, there are treatments that can correct this problem. Other factors that may have caused it can be circumcision, or using a catheter. Doctor's Treatment :- Very tiny multiple injections over 6 weeks to 2 years may help to dissolve the internal collagen of the scars and lessen the scars but this not guaranteed. There are four or five other treatment /surgeries your doctor can do to straighten out the shaft.
Oral drugs are also available to straighten the chordee of the rainbow shaped penis. If the injections and the oral drugs do not work then there are several different surgeries available to straighten it . But beware some of them may significantly shorten the length of the penis.
