In the July 1989 issue of Medical Aspects of Human Sexuality, Dr. John Gregory and Michaela Purcell, RN, report that curvature of the penis is an increasingly common ailment. In the Seventies, urologists saw two to three cases a year; There is some evidence that Peyronie's disease (which causes curvature of the penis) runs in families, but perhaps the majority of cases of acquired curvature are the result of trauma. The initial accident may be minor, but as the injury heals, scar tissue forms and deformation results. The curvature often becomes less severe within six months but seldom straightens completely. In the past, doctors have treated the condition with vitamin E, ultrasound, amino benzoate potassium and steroid and collagenase injections. However, current opinion holds that any changes observed were the result of natural improvement. In severe cases, surgery can straighten (and consequently shorten) the penis. NOTE: The procedure to correct a curvature can be combined with the enlargement procedures, in some cases.
