Penile curvature is usually secondary to Peyronie’s disease, which is a fibrotic wound healing disorder of the tunica albuginea. Other causes include congenital penile curvature and chordee. Penile deformity, if severe, results in significant difficulties with sexual intercourse and may make sexual intercourse impossible. The mainstay of treatment, if the deformity is stable and interfering with intercourse is surgery, while a variety of surgical treatments exist. Side effects of treatment include penile shortening, erectile dysfunction, and recurrent deformity. Medical treatments are usually ineffective, although recently, injections of intralesional collagenase have been licensed in the United States for Peyronie’s disease.
