When to see a doctor

By Mayo Clinic staff

In most cases, a bent penis doesn't require evaluation or treatment. However, a severely bent penis or curvature that causes pain or interferes with sexual activity should be checked out by a doctor who specializes in sexual and urinary problems (urologist).
