Karan Mehta, a 32-year-old software engineer...
Karan Mehta, a 32-year-old software engineer from Bangalore, had been in a committed relationship for four years. He first noticed a slight bend in his penis during his late teens but dismissed it. Over the past two years, the curvature had progressively worsened, becoming painful during erections and making intimacy increasingly difficult and anxiety-inducing. He had stopped initiating sex, causing strain with his partner, who felt confused and rejected. After months of private worry, he confided in his general physician, who referred him to a urologist. The urologist diagnosed him with Peyronie's disease, explaining the plaque buildup causing the curvature. After discussing options, Karan opted for penile curvature correction surgery (plication procedure) to straighten the penis and relieve pain. The surgery was outpatient. The immediate post-op period involved significant swelling and bruising, managed with pain medication. He took two weeks off work. The emotional burden lifted almost immediately after surgery, the physical cause of his anxiety was gone. At his six-month follow-up, the curvature was corrected, erections were pain-free, and he felt a restored sense of confidence and intimacy with his partner. His journey was from silent shame and relationship tension to relief and regained connection.
