What Causes Twisting Of Penis Head?
My penis head is rotated to the left. Since I ve started getting a little sexual Ive noticed the head is rotated to the left instead of straight. My shaft is straight but my head isn t. I wonder if that s normal or something to worry about. I go see my female doctor Tuesday for an exam. Should I show her this problem? It s only noticeable when my penis is hard.

Hi,
Twisting of the penis (Torsion of penis) is when the penis of a baby or a child appears twisted or rotated. It almost always rotates to the left. Most of the times, only head is bending on the shaft, but some times, there may be presence of curvature in the shaft of penis also. This twisting is mostly present during erection of the penis.
Usually, it is not painful. If the bending is mild and it is not causing any symptom, then it does not require any treatment and this mild condition has no bad effects on the sexual or reproductive activity of a person. However, if the bending is severe enough and causing symptoms of pain or hampering with sexual activity, then surgical treatment by a surgeon is advised.
As you are not having any problem due to this bending, hence you may not need any treatment for this. However, if you are going to your doctor for an examination, it is always better to get yourself examined by your doctor, to know the extent of problem, if any & treatment done accordingly, if needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
