Question
My husband of 38 years and I were having sex when we noticed for the first time that his penis was twisted. He's always had a normal erection. We were wondering if this should be checked? He was also just diagnosed with melanoma on his ear.
Answer
Your husband might have Peyronie's disease. Peyronie's disease occurs when a plaque (scar) develops inside the penis. Sometimes this plague is caused by trauma to the penis or a blow to the groin. It is common among men, and can be painful.
The best thing to do is to see a urologist. Also sometimes applying vitamin E to the penis helps the condition.
