How does a curved penis affect sexual intercourse?
A third of men with Peyronie’s have pain with their erections. A few men with Peyronie’s become impotent. In some cases, the head of the penis does not fill with blood. Because inflammation is initially associated with the scar tissue, there can be some discomfort with erection and distension. Many patients complain not only about the curvature of the erection but the loss of length and girth. These are all results of the inelastic tissue and lack of distention that results. Most patients with Peyronie’s disease can continue to function sexually with the curvature in the penis. Rarely, some patients with greater distortion are unable to have satisfactory sexual intercourse.
