Congenital Penile Torsion
Penile torsion causes a baby boy’s penis to appear to be rotated – or twisted – on its axis.
What is a Congenital Penile Torsion?
Pediatric penile torsion is a fairly common congenital (present at birth) condition that can affect any male baby. This condition causes the penis to appear to be rotated – or twisted – on its axis. Almost always, this twist occurs to the left (counter-clockwise). Penile torsion can range from mild to severe and has not been shown to affect sexual function or reproduction.
What are the signs and symptoms of a Congenital Penile Torsion?
A rotated or twisted penis typically causes no other symptoms.
