The answer
Unfortuantely, TeenHealthFX cannot diagnose over the internet. However, [Planned Parenthood explains that it is normal for a penis to have a slight bend to the right or left. Each person is different and generally is not a cuase for concern. If you find yourself in pain, uncomfortable, or it gets worse over time, we suggest being seen by a doctor. The doctor will be able to let you know if there is something to be concerned about as well treatment, if necessary.
If you need help finding a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the [Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist.
