The curvature of the penis is a common anatomical feature and, in many cases, it is a physiological variant. However, when the curvature becomes pronounced and is accompanied by pain or difficulties during sexual intercourse, it might be due to Peyronie’s disease. Peyronie’s disease vs normal curvature? Distinguishing between normal curvature and a pathological condition is crucial for timely intervention and choosing the most appropriate treatment. In this article, Prof. Fabio Castiglione, an international expert in urology and andrology, explains the warning signs, causes, diagnosis, and therapeutic options, including his exclusive “P-shocks® Protocol”, a non-invasive and personalized approach to treating Peyronie’s disease.

Normal penile curvature: What is it and when not to worry?
Present from birth: Congenital curvature is stable and non-progressive.
- Mild curvature (less than 20°): It does not interfere with sexual function and does not cause pain.
- Absence of fibrous plaques: No palpable nodules or hard areas along the shaft of the penis.
- Intact functionality: The erection is regular and painless.
Conclusion: If the curvature does not get worse, is not painful, and does not present plaques, it is a normal variant that does not require treatment.
Peyronie’s disease: When Is the curvature pathological?
- Develops in adulthood: The condition appears suddenly and tends to worsen over time.
- Pronounced curvature (over 30°-40°): It can impede penetration and affect sexual life.
- Presence of fibrous plaques: Palpable nodules along the shaft that indicate the presence of scar tissue.
- Pain during erection: A common symptom, especially in the early stages of the disease.
- Possible erectile dysfunction: The fibrosis can compromise normal blood flow.
Conclusion: If you notice a sudden curvature with pain and nodules, it is essential to consult a specialist for an accurate diagnosis.

Psychological and social impact of Peyronie’s disease
Peyronie’s disease does not only have a physical impact, but also affects the emotional and social sphere of the men affected. Many patients report a decrease in self-esteem and anxiety issues related to body image and sexual performance. These aspects can lead to social isolation and difficulties in couple relationships.
Psychological aspects:
- Low self-esteem: The appearance of pronounced and painful curvature can undermine self-confidence, negatively affecting psychological well-being.
- Performance anxiety: Difficulties with erection and fear of worsening the condition can generate anxiety, which further exacerbates sexual dysfunction.
- Depression: In some cases, the psychological impact can be severe enough to lead to depressive states, which require the intervention of a mental health specialist.
Social aspects:
- Relationship difficulties: Fear of judgment or concerns about body image can lead to withdrawal from social situations and intimate activities.
- Communication with the partner: Often, open dialogue with the partner is essential to overcome difficulties, but many patients feel embarrassed or guilty about their condition.
Psychological support, integrated with adequate medical treatment, can make a difference in the healing process. Prof. Fabio Castiglione offers a multidisciplinary approach that, in addition to focusing on physical treatments, encourages patients to seek emotional support, often including psychological consultations to improve overall well-being.
