Doctor's answer:

Penile curvature is actually quite normal. Many men experience some degree of curvature when their penis is erect, and the extent varies from person to person. Some may curve upward or downward, while others may curve to the left or right. As long as it doesn't cause discomfort or interfere with your sexual activity, it is considered normal. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, so there's no need to worry. Due to uneven blood flow to the three corpora cavernosa during erection, the penis may curve or lean to one side after becoming erect, which is also a normal occurrence.
