What condition describes a bend in the penis and may be associated with other abnormalities?

Chordee is the condition that describes a bend or curvature of the penis, which can occur as a result of fibrosis or abnormal tissue formation. It is often associated with congenital abnormalities, such as hypospadias, where the urethral opening is located on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip. The curvature of the penis in chordee can lead to difficulties during sexual intercourse or issues with urination depending on the severity of the bend. Recognizing chordee is important for early intervention, as it can be part of a broader set of congenital anomalies requiring surgical correction for optimal function and appearance.
