Congenital Peyronie's Disease
Congenital Peyronie's Disease more commonly known as Congenital Curvature is a condition from birth, though it is extremely rare and affects less than 1% of men.
It is normally noticed around the time of puberty and in young adults and is caused by an uneven development of the two chambers that form within the male reproductive shaft. It is different to Peyronie's disease in that there is no build-up of fibrous plaque.

Understanding Congenital Curvature
Men with Congenital Curvature are at no greater risk of other mens health problems than other men. They will not have a hard lump or tough skin on any side of their manhood.
With Congenital Peyronie's Disease, there is a greater likelihood that the private parts will bend downwards, whereas the majority of men with Peyronie's disease experience an upward bend. This is not always the case and both conditions can have different deformities.
A patient with Congenital Curvature has an equal chance of developing Peyronie's disease as any other man. However, the curvature should remain the same. if they feel that the curvature or deformity has worsened, this can be assessed at our clinic through a diagnostic Ultrasound.
Congenital Curvature Surgery
If there is no showing of fibrous plaque, then focussed shockwave therapy cannot help this condition and the only option for the patient is surgery, which is outlined in Peyronie's disease treatment options.
Most men with Peyronie's disease display some symptoms of other men's health problems. With Congenital Curvature there is no correlation and no greater vascular risk.
