Question: Hi. Doctor. I have this recurrent erection problem since 8 years. and I have been noticing twisting of the penis to the left during erection.the twist has been increasing since the past. What should I do to prevent the twist from further getting worse and why is this happening.I used to rub my penis to my left leg as a child a lot and masturbate that way. Now when I normally masturbate I feel the sensation on the left side mostly,which is what i feel is the cause for the twisting. Should I stop masturbating? i am really worried please help. The priapism I will get checked in a few years coz it is embarrassing but I don't want the twist of the penis to increase.it twists to the left when the erection happens , when I'm fully hard its usually almost straight but when its in between it twists completely to the left, specially when i lie down.When i stand and its erect its still straight,when i lie down and its half erect the whole penis completely turns or twists to the left.and when its flaccid its almost straight or normal. PLEASE HELP ME I AM WORRIED GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION PLEASE.Please tell me it won't get worse. or whether masturbation is making it worse. I read this portion online and that is how i know about the priapism problem,what is the treatment(which I plan on doing after my college finishes in a few years)- "Nonischemic (arterial, high flow) priapism is a nonsexual, persistent erection caused by unregulated cavernous arterial inflow. Cavernous blood gases are not hypoxic or acidotic. Typically the penis is neither fully rigid nor painful. Antecedent trauma is the most commonly described etiology. Nonischemic priapism does not require emergent treatment. Resolution of nonischemic priapism is characterized by a return to a completely flaccid penis."

I have like at least 10-20 erections a day that are not related to any sexual thoughts,everyday. I have erections almost most of the time in my sleep. No i have never gone to a urologist because of embarrassment, I will few years later. I didn't understand your first question. My penis gets very hard and it is muscular and really hard and tight when erect but i don't know if that answers your question. when the erection begins the penis completely turns and twists to the left,its so scary to see that.When it is erect it hurts when i try to move it to the right but left it doesn't hurt. Also, it isn't completely straight when erect it faces the left side a little. When I am lying down, and i get the erection initially, the whole penis twists to the left,like 90 degrees and then when i get hard it stands almost straight but its scary to see how it turns to the left. I feel the base makes the whole penis twist to the left because of the wrong way i used to masturbate as a child by rubbing it on my left leg. It also hurts when i retract the skin back during erections. its like some nerve like the urethra is stuck. whenever I have an erection it doesn't go back on its own its usually covered by skin and when i pull back more it hurts.Infact the head of the penis moves downward when i pull the skin back as it seems to be attached to so some nerve like the urethra. Is this normal? What should I do? As I told you I think I had penal trauma when i Was 12 and all these erections started right after that day. I was trying to feel the excitement of my penis under tap water when I felt this trauma happened. Please give me detailed information and help me out. I am really worried, please answer all questions in detail. I will really appreciate it. What do you think all this is? I've just been living with this and trying to ignore the problem thinking that when i grow up ill go to the doctor. Its not that one part of the penis bends toward one side, the whole penis twists to the left completely when i am getting the erection( when i am lying down) and when its fully hard it becomes almost straight but when its coming back to the flaccid form it points to the left again and then becomes fine.Another thing I wanted to tell you is that when its erect the whole penis does point towards the left like 20 degrees imguessing but when its half erect and I'm lying down it twists completely. And I have noticed that mostly when i stretch or yawn i get an erection. These erections are not related to sexual thoughts or stimulation and its been happening since 8 years everyday when I feel i had that penal trauma incident. Please read whatever wrote carefully and help me. It will take time but i will be grateful. Thank You

Yes, but the thing is it doesn't seem like phimosis because the skin is retractable, it only hurts when I'm fully retracting it. And I feel its not peyronies disease because a particular part of my penis doesn't bend, the whole penis twists to the left while lying down and getting an erection. while standing and getting an erection its usually straight. And whenever i masturbate i feel the sensation in the left part of the gut which is why i think masturbation is increasing the the degree of the twisting of the penis to the left. Is that true?
