Is It Okay to Have Penile Curvature? - #59802
I am really worried about something that's been bothering me for a while. I noticed that I have some penile curvature, and honestly it's kinda freaking me out. Like, I mean, is it okay to have penile curvature? I didn’t really pay attention to it before, but now I'm starting to wonder if it’s normal for a guy to have a curve. It's not painful or anything, but sometimes it feels like it's affecting me emotionally, you know? I talked to a friend, and he was like, “Oh, it’s super common,” but I kinda want to know what you guys think. I'm also curious if this is something that will just go away on its own or if I need to do something about it. I have heard that it can be linked to other issues, and I just don’t want to find myself in a mess down the road. Like, what percentage of men have penile curvature anyway? I feel like I'm just in my head about this. It's hard to find clear answers, and with the internet being what it is, you get so much conflicting info. I just want to understand this better, and if I should be worried or if it's just a part of being a guy. Thanks for any advice you can give!
