I am a 19 year old man. I have not had sex yet but I notice a bend of 25 degrees towards the left and 30 degrees upwards when fully erect. There are no scars or lumps detected. Can PD affect younger men? Are these bends permanent?

Several studies have shown that 10% of the men presenting with PD are under 40 years old. Younger men with PD have also been shown to do well with non-surgical treatment presumably because the healing response is better in younger men. However, most men under 20 who present with penile deformity have a congenital (born with it) type of problem also known as chordee. So far, the only successful treatment for chordee is surgical straightening with some type of plication/Nesbit procedure.
