Men health (pain, doctor, cancer, symptoms)

[Edwin2021]

I am not sure where to put this but I want to know what kind of doctor am I supposed to see for a problem with my penis that is slightly or more than slightly leaning towards the left because it should be straight. The problem is that when it is soft or hard it leans to the left. I am not sure what caused this or why this happens. Is there a name for this and what is it called? What can be done to make it straight like it should be?

Hi Edwin. You want to see a urologist who specializes in that condition. It has to be evaluated to see if it's simply a normal variant or if it deviates too much then one should consider Peyronie's disease.

"Peyronie's (pay-roe-NEEZ) disease is a noncancerous condition resulting from fibrous scar tissue that develops on the penis and causes curved, painful erections. Penises vary in shape and size, and having a curved erection isn't necessarily a cause for concern. But Peyronie's disease causes a significant bend or pain in some men.

This can prevent you from having sex or might make it difficult to get or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction). For many men, Peyronie's disease also causes stress and anxiety. Penile shortening is another common concern.

Peyronie's disease rarely goes away on its own. In most men with Peyronie's disease, the condition will remain as is or worsen. Early treatment soon after developing the condition may keep it from getting worse or even improve symptoms. Even if you've had the condition for some time, treatment may help improve bothersome symptoms, such as pain, curvature and penile shortening."

It's not painful but it still needs to be treated so it can look normal.

You might Google "men's health" or "men's doctors". Could probably find sites with very detailed breakdown of the specialties. And maybe even Google the medical condition, for even more specific data.
