My curved penis

Each time I have an erection, instead of being straight, my penis will assume a curved position. Kindly advise me on what to do.

Although it is common for a penis to curve slightly, some conditions, such as Peyronie’s disease and chordee, may cause more significant curving that may cause pain or difficulty when having sex. A curved penis is a physical condition where a bend occurs in the penis during an erection. Some penises are straight when erect, while others curve upward, downward, or to the side. Penile curvature is a common condition that typically does not affect functionality. Penile curvature may be present from birth or develop later in life. People typically notice curvature during puberty or early adulthood. However, a curved penis that occurs suddenly, worsens over time, or causes painful erections may be due to a congenital or acquired condition that could require urgent medical attention.
