      The most common erection state is 70 degrees to 120 degrees

      The normal penis is flaccid and soft. When it is sexually stimulated, affected by the congestion of the cavernous body, the penis will stand upright like the mast of a sailboat. Due to differences in the distribution and degree of congestion of the cavernous sinuses, the erect penis will also show various angles, the most common of which is the erect state of 70° to 120°. Sometimes affected by glans nerve Due to the influence of peripheral sensitivity, the penis will be extremely hard but the glans is soft, or the penis will bend sideways or ventrally. But if it does not have any impact on your sexual life, a slight curvature of the erection is also normal.

      Be wary of priapism

      Some male exist priapism Sometimes, it can last for hours, days, or even more than a month. Even when there is no sexual desire, due to the occlusion of the small arteries of the penis and the obstruction of venous return, it can also cause abnormal erection of the penis and cause pain to the patient. If this pathological state is repeated for a long time, it will inevitably cause fibrosis of the corpus cavernosum and eventually loss of erectile function.

      Peyronie's disease

      It is more common in middle-aged men aged 40 to 60 years old who experience erectile pain. At this time, the penis generally has no symptoms when it is in a relaxed state, but one or more fibrous indurations are likely to occur in the loose connective tissue between the corpus cavernosum and the tunica albuginea of ​​the penis, causing the penis to erect dorsally or sideways. In severe cases, it will affect the normal progress of sexual life.

      In addition, epispadias, short penile frenulum, hypospadias, etc. can cause penile curvature. Symptoms such as obvious side curvature or ventral curvature of the penis will affect sexual intercourse. If you have the above symptoms, you should seek medical treatment promptly and do not be careless.

      clinical The special form of penile erection

      For example, double penis is a rare abnormality of male external genitalia. It is estimated that only 1 case of double penis occurs in every 5.5 million people born. In a typical patient with double penis, only one penis has erectile function, and the penis often appears upturned during erection. In addition, there is also a hidden type of penis: the penis is extremely small and underdeveloped. The subcutaneous fat around the penis is thicker and tightly surrounds the penis. The penis appears invisible. There may be painful erection, but sexual intercourse is not possible. These should also cause vigilance.
