Men Secret Health Issues – Part VI

April 12th, 2010 | by admin |

It is not abnormal to have a slight curvature in the penis. In fact, most men have their penises curved slightly towards one side. It is nothing out of the ordinary, and in most men, it does not hamper the man from performing penetrative sex. However, in some people there is a condition called as Peyronie’s disease. Men suffering from this disease have very large curvatures of their penises, so much so that penetrative sex becomes a difficulty for them. It is in this case that penis curves need to be surgically corrected.

Any deviation of the male penis from the straight position can be termed as a penis curve. The penis is a highly flexible organ, and due to this it can curve in any position. It can be tilted to the right or to the left, or even upwards and downwards. Even among people with penis curves, there are different extents of curvatures.

The human penis is about 5.5 to 7.5 inches long on an average when erect. Of course, there are men with penises on both sides of this scale. The main bulk of the penis is a spongy tissue called as the corpus cavernosa. The corpus cavernosa contains of two channels of spongy tissues which run through the length on both sides of the penis. In healthy men, both the channels of the spongy tissues grow equally and the penis becomes straight. However, if for some reason, one channel of the corpus cavernosa grows more than the other, then it would lead the penis to get inclined on the other side.

This generally occurs during injury. In men who suffer accidents on one side of the penis, the spongy tissues on that side may not grow properly. This would lead to a droop on the other side. Even wearing tight underwear may cause irreparable damage to the penis and cause it to gain an unnatural curve. Men who indulge in very hectic sexual intercourse could damage their penises. One example of this is the wrong use of the woman on top position. This position has the possibility of the penis coming out often and this could tear some of the ligaments. Anal sex is also responsible for penis curvatures.

The above are some of the mechanical factors that cause penis curves. However, penis curves can also be caused due to biological factors. The Peyronie’s disease is one of the most important causative factors. Peyronie’s disease is a condition in which a scar develops on one side of the penis without any apparent reason. This stops the growth of the penis on that particular side and hence the penis begins to droop on the other side. In small children, there could be penis curves due to inexplicable reasons. These are congenital defects, which must be corrected in the younger days itself. Contrary to popular belief, masturbation does not cause penis curves. However, if there is an injury during masturbation – as might happen when a young boy experiments with his penis in his early pubertal days – then penis curves could develop in the future.

Generally speaking, a moderate penis curve poses no problems to men. Penises that are curved can be used quite effectively for sexual penetration, and does not pose a problem to either partner. There is also no relation whatsoever between penis curves and impotence. Penis curves are just a cosmetic problem, and they do not interfere with the reproductive system of the male in any way.

Nowadays, penis curvatures are mostly treated by surgical methods. This is a corrective tissue surgery and hence it needs to be performed at the hands of a very skilful surgeon. If the curvature of the penis is caused due to a scar retained by an injury or due to Peyronie’s disease, then the method employed is to inject the scar with Verapamil. This drug causes the scar to heal itself. Healing the scar in most cases corrects the curvature of the penis.

Men are also increasingly using natural herbs and their extracts for the treatment of their curved penises. The efficacy of these herbs is still being checked into by leading pharmaceutical companies of the advanced countries, and most of them have yielded positive results. The immensely popular Ayurvedic preparation known as Shilajit is one of the effective alternative methods in use. Other herbs which have shown promising results are Panax ginseng, Ashwagandha and Ginkgo biloba.

Curvature of the penis to an extent is a very natural male phenomenon and may not need correction at all. In fact, several tailors would design the trousers in a way to accommodate the curved penis. Hence, it is not much of an issue. The penis curvature would need a correction only for cosmetic reasons – though women actually have no issue with curved penises – or for medical reasons, such as if the penis is very highly curved for penetrative sex. Otherwise, the best method is to let the penis be as it is for it will pose no problems either now or in the future.

    We're trying to keep our marriage a secret by now my partner's chatty boss needs to know for legal reasons
    My partner and I have been deeply committed for 6 years. Due to painful emotional issues, we eventually decided that we would not marry but have tried in every way to live as though we were. My partner recently took a new job that only provides health insurance to full spouses. I work serveral part-time jobs and thus don’t qualify for health insurance on my own. So we went to city hall and got married(meaning we had a judge sign our marriage licence-there was no ceremony or emotional involvment). Since it means nothing to us, we’re keeping it secret so that other’s won’t try to make it mean something. We thought that only the book-keeper at my partner’s work needed to know but now we find out his boss does too. His boss is kind of a clueless guy whose also loud and chatty. So we fear that he will make a big deal out of our "wedding" and/or spread it around the office. How do we approach the guy to get him to respect our feelings? Or should I just give up the insurance?
    We are truely committed to each other emotionally. We felt like we were married BEFORE we were legally married. We’ve lived together for SIX years and we LOVE each other. However, I really wanted a big wedding and my partner refused to give me that. So refuse to accept a cheap travesty of what I wanted. If some one wanted to congradualte me they should have done it for the six years of comittment which is what matters to me emotionally. Since they didn’t they have no right to do it for this empty legal situation. Why does society try to ram its values down my throat. I HATE it. I HATE it. Why doesn’t anyone understand me??????
    And yes, I am female and he is male.
    I am not practicing fraud!!! We live like we are married. If I already have the lifestyle that the piece of papre endorses, why is it immoral for me to get the benifits of having the piece of paper? And also I don’t think marriage is "no good" I think marriage is lovely and beutiful and I would have loved to get married in a beautiful public wedding. But my partner didn’t want to do this. He’s commied to me and he has no problem pledging to stay with me, he just didn’t want to make a show of it. All I want is to not have settle for a cheap copy of what I wanted.
    Before answering please actually READ my explanation of the situation and don’t write answers that blatantly ignore details I"ve already included.

    Gee if you really feel that way about marriage…Weird that you refer to him as your partner but there is no emotional involvement and marriage means nothing to you……just give up the insurance…

    WHAT!?

    Ge it annulled. Getting married for insurance purposes is not a reason to get married. But you obviously aren’t committed to the relationship outside of marriage either so its not like its really going to last anyway. Just get it annulled and find your own insurance.

    So they will find out. After a few days something else will come up and everyone will forget. They will say congrats a lot for a day but, no biggie..Your husband can say well we just wanted to keep it quiet. That’s being honest and up front.

    Don’t give up the insurance. This guy doesn’t seem to be the type to respect your feelings so just smile and accept the congratulations.

    Are you male and female?
    Is this a marriage of a man and a woman?
    If it is a marriage of a man and a woman why are you so embarrassed?
    However, if you are two guys you might have something to hide.

    This is one of the weirdest questions I’ve seen. A woman who seems embarassed to be married. Yet, you lived as a proud ‘live in’ couple.

    The only reason I could guess for this is that you’re either embarassed of your new husband or embarassed that you decided marriage was the best means to an end. I hope you’re not embarassed of him, so I’ll assume the 2nd part.

    Regardless, if you don’t want people to know, your husband, excuse me ‘partner’, needs to sit his boss down and tell him just what you told us. He should do this because most people feel marriage is a good thing and want to announce it to the world. In your case, you don’t.

    UPDATE: Kazaku, you must have been through something really bad in your past related to marriage. I suggest you:

    1. annul the marriage ASAP, or
    2. stop sabotaging your relationship and work to PREVENT whatever negative problem you’ve seen in marriage before it affects yours.

    It’s plain to see that you’re setting yourself up for divorce otherwise. Then you’re going to rush back and tell the world "see, i told you marriage was no good".

    The marriage may not mean anything to you or him, but it does mean a great deal to the state that you live in. You have entered in to a marriage that has the same legal implications as a "real marriage".

    Did it occur to you that by having a talk with his boss that you are really telling him that you want to have the legal right to "steal" benefits (health insurance), but you want the boss and others to respect your decision. The company will be paying large amounts of money each month for a self professed fraud. I know it is old fashioned to think about others, but it is just the way I am.
