Abstract in brief

The study surveyed Australian men aged 35-75 across urban and rural areas, finding that about 19% reported penile curvature, with no significant difference between city types or age groups.
Around one-third of men with curvature experienced discomfort or pain, and a notable proportion were self-conscious about their appearance or sexual activity, especially those aged 35-49.
The findings show penile curvature is common in Australia and can negatively affect sexual and psychological well-being, particularly in certain age groups.]
