“Is a bent penis normal?”
I have a slight bend in my penis from birth which is now looking a little more evident. Is it a normal occurrence or does it mean something is wrong with me? I want to understand if it will impact my sexual life in any way.

No, and it can get worse if not treated correctly. I use shockwave therapy with erectionwave to stop this condition before it gets worse. Get a full evaluation.
Depends on your age and the severity of your penile curvature and if it is progressive or not. You need to be evaluated by a urologist.
Some men are born with a slight bend in the penis. If it doesn't affect your sex life, it doesn't need to be treated. However, if the bend is increasing, you should see your urologist to rule out peyronies disease.

It is normal for the penis to have a slight curvature. If the curve is getting more significant, it may mean that you have something called Peyronie's disease. A plaque (scar tissue) can form within the penis and cause it to bend. Often times, this is not a problem, and you can just wait and watch. But if it worsens, becomes painful, you develop problems with an erection, or intercourse becomes difficult due to the angle, then I recommend that you see a urologist for possible treatment.
A little curvature is normal, anything less than 20 to 30 degrees that doesn't impact your ability to have intercourse or your partner's comfort. Any curvature that interferes with intercourse or over 20 degrees would be considered abnormal and needs to be discussed with a urologist.
