Someone said before "It's called Peyronies disease and it's quite common and there is nothing can be done about it"
First, it's not common, some bend in the penis is common but not bends cause by Peyronies disease. It's estimated that only 1% of men suffer from this disease. In about 13% of cases, plaque does not cause severe pain or curvature, and the condition resolves on its own without treatment in 6 to 24 months. For those that don’t, there are some treatments options.
The plaque often begins as an inflammation that may develop into a fibrous tissue. Generally, when the disease heals, the plaque does not advance beyond an initial inflammatory phase. However, when the disease lasts for an extended period of time, the plaque often becomes a tough, fibrous tissue, and calcium deposits may form. Cases of Peyronie's disease range from mild to severe. Symptoms may develop slowly or appear overnight.
Some researchers believe Peyronie's disease develops following a trauma that causes bleeding inside the penis. This trauma may explain acute cases of Peyronie's disease, but does not explain why most cases develop slowly, or what causes the disease after no apparent traumatic event.
The problem developes when too much scar tissue forms, causing the penis to bend. If the bend becomes too great and the person starts experiencing painful erections, among other symptoms. Since the symptoms of Peyronie's disease may resemble other conditions or medical problems. It's a good idea to always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
There are a few treatments options available. Which may include:
1) the prescribing of palliative methods
2) surgery
a) Removal or expansion of the plaque followed by placement of a patch of skin or artificial material, and removal or pinching of tissue from the side of the penis opposite the plaque, which cancels out the bending effect. This method can involve partial loss of erectile function, especially rigidity.
b) The second method, known as the Nesbit procedure, causes a shortening of the erect penis. It's done by the removal or pinching (plication) of tissue opposite the plaque to reduce curvature.
3) Vitamin E
Small studies have reported improvements with oral vitamin E prescribed by a physician, however, larger controlled studies have not been completed to establish the effectiveness of this treatment.
4) Injections of various chemical agents into the plaques
Injections of various chemical agents into the plaques have been utilized in a small number of patients, and, for this reason, this intervention is considered unproven; unwanted side effects may occur.
5) Radiation therapy
With this treatment approach, radiation is aimed at the plaque to reduce pain, but does not affect the plaque itself; unwanted side effects or worsening of the disease may occur.
My suggestion is to go see a doctor, especially but not necessarily, if you are experiencing painful erections. Good luck!

This is a recognised medical condition. Depending on the degree of bend the doctor will recommend certain courses of action, or maybe no action.
It does not affect your fertility in any way, so don't worry about that.

Go to the doctor. This is a medical condition. A little bit of bending is normal. But if it is seriously bent go to a medic.

The problem is more common than you may think. If it has a serious bend, see a doctor. as another writer said, it has no effect on your fertility. Good luck

It's called Peyronies disease and it's quite common and there is nothing can be done about it. It will go of it's own accord eventually...maybe months , maybe years.Don't worry about it.
