Thank you for your question.
It’s understandable to be concerned if your penis curves more than you think is normal and it causes pain. Here’s some information that might be helpful:
Slight Curvature is Common: Many penises have a slight curve, up, down, or to the side. This is usually nothing to worry about.
Painful Curvature Could Indicate Peyronie’s Disease: A condition called Peyronie’s disease can cause scar tissue to form in the penis, leading to a more pronounced curve and pain during erections. This could be what you’re experiencing. Peyronie’s Disease is a condition where the penis becomes curved, making erections painful or difficult. This can cause significant emotional and psychological distress for those affected. Although Peyronie’s Disease can affect any man, research suggests that it is more common in men of Asian descent. It is estimated that approximately 5% of men in Asia have Peyronie’s Disease.
Talking to a Doctor is Important: Since you have pain and a significant curve, it’s best to see a doctor again, especially a urologist (a specialist in the urinary tract and male reproductive system). They can do a physical exam and discuss your concerns.
Treatment options for Peyronie’s Disease depend on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, doctors may suggest a wait-and-see approach, as the condition may improve on its own. In more severe cases, however, treatment may include medication to reduce the pain, injections of medication into the penis to reduce curvature or surgery to remove the plaque and reconstruct the penis.

Peyronie’s disease is a wound healing disorder resulting in formation of a plaque in the tunica albuginea(TA). The TA is the layer that wraps around the muscle of the penis known as the corpora. The plaque can result in a lump over the the penile shaft and this can also result in penile curvatures, affecting sexual function. This condition is benign and not cancerous. You should see a urologist who has sub-specialty interest and training in Peyronie’s disease as that he can tailor the most suitable treatment for you.
As there is the finding of fluid on the ultrasound, you should get a consult as you would need a physical examination to rule out other conditions.
