" Question My problem is simple: I have a crooked penis.  It starts of all right, but about half way up the shaft it bends to the left. When erect I can feel ridges under the skin where the crook is, like folds in the shaft where it&amp;amp;#8217;s not inflating properly.  The best way I can describe it is like the bend in a bendy drinking straw. I am extremely paranoid about it; I have turned down a lot of sexual relationships due to me being worried about the reaction of the other party.  I am a happy and confident person with no other hang-up, but no matter how much I try and ignore it, it really gets me depressed!  I haven&amp;amp;#8217;t spoken to my GP because I am just too embarrassed.  Is there an operation that could straighten my penis? If there is, where could I get one?   Answer You really need to get this sorted out as soon as possible. A bend in the penis can be due to various causes, including Peyronie&amp;#039;s disease.  What you need fairly rapidly in my view is an opinion from an urologist &amp;amp;#8211; that is, a urological surgeon. It&amp;#039;s very difficult to get to see one without getting a referral letter from your GP. In fact, under the NHS it would be impossible. Yes, there are now several operations which can be used in order to straighten out a bent penis. The best-known is one called Nesbit&amp;amp;#8217;s operation, which has given a high success rate in recent studies.  An alternative, non-surgical method is shock-wave treatment, which sounds alarming but in fact isn&amp;amp;#8217;t painful.  So please try and swallow your embarrassment and see your doctor right away. If you can&amp;#039;t get the words out, just show him a printout of this answer.  Good luck.
