CONGENITAL PENILE CURVATURE TREATMENT
IN DUBAI
What is Congenital Penile Curvature Treatment
Congenital penile curvature (penis curvature from birth), or chordee, is a congenital process associated with hypospadias and is apparent by a curvature of the erect penis. The curvature of the penis is usually only noticed during erection when the erect penis bends up, down, or to the side because one side of the penis is more elastic or more significant than the other. This condition may be painful or cause brutal sex for the patient or his partner. The treatment for congenital penile curvature is readily available in hospitals and clinics near your place. Bizrahmed is among the pioneering clinics focusing on Men’s health treatment in Dubai.
Congenital Penile Curvature Symptoms
Patients with this condition are described to have a curved penis during an erection. It is usually first recognized during puberty or early adulthood.
congenital penile curvature Causes
Although the actual cause of penile curvature is unclear, urologists in our clinic Bizrahmed, believe that it is related to the unequal growth of erectile chambers on both sides of the penis. In most cases, men suffering from this condition are usually born with it.
Penile Curvature Diagnosis
The doctor will take your sexual and medical history, which will be enough to diagnose penile congenital curvature. More insights would be gained when the doctor examines you while your penis will erect. Vasoactive drugs will help you facilitate the erection for examining.
Urologists usually diagnose penile curvature after injecting a drug into your penis to make it stiff. The curvature can point in any direction, but the most common bend is downward. This makes it hard to penetrate during sexual intercourse. In the case of severe bending, this condition can cause pain and difficulties for the affected individual and their partner, leading to unsatisfactory intercourse.
Men with this condition may also feel embarrassed due to the abnormal appearance of their penis, which can lead to high-stress levels. But penile curvature treatment can erase their embarrassment. Urologists recommend surgical correction for all patients with penile curvature more significant than 20 degrees. An experienced urologist can correct the curvature by bending the shorter side of the penis.
Visiting our clinic at Bizrahmed for a check-up will help you early diagnose the disease.
Surgical Cases of Congenital Penile Curvature
Currently, all available treatments are surgical. No non-surgical treatment, including oral medications, injections or topical therapy, has been used to correct congenital penile curvature. External penile traction therapy has been used successfully in some cases.
Various surgical procedures have been used, but all essentially work on shortening the convex side to equal the concave aspect. The initial manoeuvres are similar, usually by making a degloving circumferential incision proximal to the head of the penis.
- Nesbit procedure
- Yachia procedure
- Essed-Schroeder procedure
- 16 dot procedure
- Tunica albuginea plication (TAP) procedure
All these procedures have a low risk of penile shortening, chronic postoperative pain, infection, bleeding, change in penile sensation, and erectile dysfunction. The primary advantage is that it can be done quickly, as an outpatient, with minimal blood loss and a high rate of penile straightening with a low rate of new erectile dysfunction.
