Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hypospadias is a congenital developmental abnormality of the male reproductive system. Whether a person with hypospadias can reproduce depends on its type. Penoscrotal and perineal types not only affect fertility but also cause psychological disorders. For example, in perineal hypospadias, the external genitalia resemble those of a female, making it easy for the child to be raised as a girl. Some patients have impaired erectile function; some can achieve erection but experience bending or pain after erection; and some can engage in sexual activity, but due to abnormal urethral opening, semen cannot enter the female reproductive tract, leading to infertility. Therefore, individuals with hypospadias should seek timely treatment. The goal of surgery is to correct the deformed penis. After successful surgery, if sexual function is normal, the testicles can produce normal sperm and expel them smoothly, then fertility is not an issue.
