Congenital Penile Curvature
Congenital Penile Curvature Treatment in Dubai
Congenital penile curvature is a penile deformity that is usually present from birth, although it may only become noticeable during puberty. It develops because one side of the penis is larger or more elastic than the other, causing the penis to curve on erection sideways, upward, downward, or in a combination of directions. It is estimated to affect around 2% of the male population, with a further, minor and often unnoticed degree of curvature present in roughly 30% of men.
Symptoms
The most common reasons men seek treatment are pain or difficulty during intercourse (for either the patient or their partner), and embarrassment related to the abnormal aesthetic appearance of the curvature.
Treatment Options in Dubai
Treatment is guided by the severity of the curve:
- Minor curvature (under 20 degrees) can often be corrected using a combination of PRP injections and penile traction devices, avoiding the need for surgery.
- Curvature greater than 20 degrees typically requires surgery. In experienced hands, this is a simple, low-risk procedure involving plication of the shorter side of the penis to correct the curve.
Dr. Shawket Alkhayal will assess the degree, direction, and impact of your curvature during a confidential consultation in Dubai before recommending the most appropriate treatment path non-surgical or surgical. Because congenital curvature is often unnoticed until puberty or the start of sexual activity, many men in Dubai first raise it during a routine urology consultation rather than seeking treatment specifically for it an accurate diagnosis at that stage is what determines whether a non-surgical or surgical route is appropriate.
