Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Let me reassure you that a normal penis will have a bend towards one side or the other. It is an organ connective smooth muscles,
connective tissue and arteries and veins. The main function of penis is in the passage of urine and when erect, semen out of the body.
Many men are born with a curvature (congenital curvature) of the penis. This may be true if you had a curvature since childhood (if you remember such details) and during erections as an adolescent boy. Secondly, the question arises if your penis curvature is gradual and milder in degree, like a banana. If you did have the curvature during earlier days and if there is a gradual banana like curvature, then it is more likely to be normal.
On the other hand if the bend or distortion is recent onset, angular or abrupt, like a sudden bend in the road then it may be due to a medical condition known as Peyronie’s disease. This condition is characterized by an internal scar or
plaque, or hard lump that forms within the substance of the penis. It may also be accompanied by pain, be accompanied by some degree of lost penile length or girth but all features may not be present. The internal scar or plaque is most important in making a diagnosis. The plaque can be seen in most cases on
ultrasound scan of penis.
Hope this helps
