[|Human|] Over the last two weeks I have noticed a slight bend near the base of my penis, I believe it could be the result of trauma caused during sex several months ago. I have an appointment next week with my urologist. In the meantime should I apply ice or refrain from anything. There is some mild discomfort but nothing much other than the bend while erect
[|AI|]  Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor with your health care concerns am sorry to hear that you have had a change in the shape or curvature of your penis. This is a result of trauma and damage to the blood vessels in the penis. This is called Parodies disease and is caused by a plaque or damage to the vessels inside the penis that helps with erections. There is nothing you can do to fix or repair or lessen the effects of that trauma. The damage may get better with time and can improve over a 1 year. If there is no improvement then the urologist can do injections to help reduce the plaque and improve the circulation to improve erections. There can be pain with erections from the scarring. I hope this answers your question. Please contact Chat Doctor again with any of your health care concerns
