Slight change in length as had a curve where was before straight. Size, width same.
I did not have any pain with the curvature. It was more of a psychological issue with me as "Oh boy what is this." It was kind of embarrassing, but I talked to two different primary care doctors. They both explained this is common and gave me the most likely causes. They stressed if not causing me pain, discomfort, functional issues, not to worry about it.
I then remembered and advised them of me having a procedure years before where urologist went up my urethra with a catheter type instrument to check something. The first time I urinated after that procedure pain brought me to my knees. The pain was inside penis about middle way up.
I was told the catheter caused what they called a stricture scar and that led to the curvature later on. It is the scar tissue and changes to penis organ that develops later on that caused this.
When I was undergoing prostate radiation treatment during simulation my R/O wanted to put some type of solution up my urethra so he could see the area behind prostate when undergoing CT.
He did this by another catheter procedure. After that procedure and first time I urinated I got pain inside penis again but right toward the end. I was told by R/O that the catheter caused it and would probably develop a stricture and let them know if affected urination.
It did not but I did have discomfort (burning). Then the burning went away but can still feel the area of the stricture when I urinate.
