Men with an acute erection angle may experience sexual inadequacy. This condition, characterized by an unusually tight erection angle, is poorly understood but can be addressed with counseling and, in select cases, surgical intervention.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Sexual Medicine
Background:
- Erection involves changes in penis volume, rigidity, and angle.
- Erection angle dysfunction is underrepresented in urology and sexology literature.
- An acute erection angle can cause intercourse difficulties.
Observation:
- Two cases of acute erection angle were reported.
- A literature review was conducted using PubMed and relevant books.
Findings:
- Knowledge regarding erection angles, particularly the acute erection angle, is limited.
- Simple and safe surgical techniques can effectively correct acute erection angle.
Implications:
- Counseling for sexual inadequacy due to acute erection angle should be evidence-based.
- Surgical intervention is a viable option for selected cases of acute erection angle.
