Penis Aperture Way Off The Mark - Hypospadias

May 17, 2011 13:08

Dr. Larry was to do a circumcision today. He abandoned the procedure from start when he discovered that the neonate had Hypospadias. And it was the worst degree - the urethral opening, rather than being in the normal position at the tip of the cheap cialis, was instead located at the ventral (underneath) surface of the penis at the base.

I had to explain things to the confused mum when I resumed duty later that day. The child would need to do a corrective surgery at age 2 years or so.

The problem with Hypospadias isn't so much a threat to life - in fact the child is in no danger at all and wee-wees easily through the abnormal opening. The real issue is the child's ability to impregnate a woman in future. On ejaculation, the semen must be deposited way up the vagina for a good chance of conception. You can therefore imagine now the problem. In Hypospadias, the semen tends to be deposited mid-level and below, greatly limiting the possibility of impregnation.
