How common is a curved penis?
Peyronie’s disease is an extremely common ailment. At the Male Health Center, physicians see about five patients a week with this problem. Most patients are middle-aged, though the youngest patients we have seen are in their twenties, and there are a number of still sexually active men in their eighties with the disease. Some men first notice the sudden onset of a curved erection even though the previous erection was straight. In other men, the curvature may be slight at first, but then it keeps getting worse. Eventually, the curve stops, and gets no worse. In most cases, the active process of Peyronie’s disease lasts less than a year. At the time the process stops, the scar tissue may remain or in some cases disappear.
