What Causes The Penis To Turn Inward?

I have a question about my son. He will be 10 the beginning of April. He is 5 2 tall and weighs around 120. He has always had the problem of his penis staying inward. When he was a baby they said not a big deal because he was a chubby baby. He is not overweight and he still had this problem. He is circumcised. Told him he needed to go to dr and have checked but of coarse he is embarrassed. Could you tell me any idea why this is still going on?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Exact diagnosis can be made by examination. You can send me picture
Penis should not be bend more than 25 degree while in erection
So i think it may be normal based on body make up.
But should be confirmed by doctor.

Following are the other cause of your problem:
1. Peyronie's disease: Fibrous tissue and inflammation
2. Penile fracture in past can cause bent penis
3. Contractual of tissue

You should consult the surgeon. or weight till he he get older and determination can be based on sexual life.

Ultimate best treatment is surgery for other causes.
But you can try medicine and penile prosthesis
You can try this for 6-12 months before surgery

1. Corticosteroid injections into the fibrous band of tissue
2. Vitamin E tablet oraly
3. Radiation therapy
4. Shock wave lithotripsy
5. Verapamil injection
6. Penile prosthesis

Surgery
Main indication is difficulties in sex.

1. Removal of the plaque and grafting with a patch of tissue
2. Removal of tissue from the side of the penis opposite the plaque
3. A device can be implanted in the penis to increase its rigidity,
combined with incisions and skin grafts

Hope this may help you.
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
