What is the term for the condition in which the penis is curved?
a. Priapism
b. Phimosis
c. Peyronie's disease
d. Paraphimosis
ANS: C
Peyronie's disease often gives the penis a curved or crooked look when it is erect. Priapism is a painful erection that lasts too long. Phimosis is the term used to describe a condition in which the foreskin of an uncircumcised male becomes so tight it is difficult or impossible to pull back, away from the head of the penis. Paraphimosis occurs when the uncircumcised foreskin is pulled back, during intercourse or bathing, and not immediately replaced in a forward position. This causes constriction of the dorsal veins, which leads to edema and pain.
