Should I have surgery for a 50-degree penile bend?

Patient's question:

Patient gender: Male
Penile curvature: 50 degrees, should surgery be considered?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this is penile curvature, which is caused by abnormalities in the tunica albuginea of the penis. It is usually due to asymmetry in the two sides of the tunica albuginea. During erection, the penis becomes engorged with blood and bends toward the side with the shorter tunica albuginea. Additionally, penile curvature can be caused by injury to the penis, leading to hardening of the tunica albuginea. When you undergo a circumcision, you should ask the doctor to perform a correction procedure. The surgery is also very simple.
