He was very upset at the presence of this pathology and, despite the fact that both penises are fully developed and fully functioning, I would like to get rid of one of them. The young man declares that diphallia is the cause of his problems in the sexual sphere, at 25 years old he is shy to approach and meet women. However, the Internet is becoming increasingly popular photos twice a member of the American men, who claims that due to this pathology, he is much more popular among women than young people with normal structure of the penis.

Characteristics of the disease

As a rule, men diphallia is the cause of infertility, although they retain the ability to have an erection and orgasm, in addition, they can ejaculate. While urine is released through one or both of the penis or through the opening in the crotch. Often, this pathology is combined with developmental disorders of other organs and systems. In this regard, the treatment of this condition an integrated and quite complex.

The causes of this disease can be to pinpoint the mechanism of its formation is difficult. These include the following:

  • The embryo was a pathology distribution of chromosomes. This is the most common cause.
  • Malformations of the fetus in utero
  • Effects on the fetus of drugs or radiation
  • Diseases of the fetus.
  • My mother had a bad habit:Smoking or alcohol abuse.

What is hypospadias? This congenital disorder is manifested by the location of the urethra on the inner surface of the penis, the scrotum or the perineum. In addition to the doubling of the penis such the anomaly, as it is curved, thinning or dense adhesion with the scrotum. This disease is determined almost from birth. Hypospadias can occur in women. However, the percentage of occurrence of this defect is much lower than that of men. The reason for this difference is unclear. In this disease the urethra in women opens directly into the vagina.

Depending on the location of the opening of the urethra, there are the following types of hypospadias in men:

  • Capitate, the hole is on the head of the penis, but slightly below its normal location. With this kind of disease curvature of the penis is observed.
  • Stem. Hole located at the bottom of the penis. The patient usually complains of a violation of urination, spraying urine and inability to urinate standing. For this pathology is often found curvature of the penis.
  • Scrotal. In this type of hypospadias the penis is very small in size and can resemble a clitoris. This condition is the reason that the patient can urinate only in a position "sitting".
  • The coronal. The hole is located in the coronal sulcus. When this pathology is observed curvature of the member and a serious violation of urination.
  • Crotch. The opening of the urethra has a rather large diameter. The penis has a small size and strongly curved. This greatly complicates the treatment.
  • Okolovenoznoe. The hole is in the neck of the head of the penis.
  • Hypospadias type of the chord. While the urethra is much shorter, though, and is in his usual place. This pathology is characterized by a curvature of the penis, especially during erection.

The most common form of hypospadias capitate is. If there is a slight curvature of the penis, surgical treatment is not carried out.

A reason is required surgical intervention — severe narrowing of the urethra and a significant curvature of the penis, which can lead to serious problems in the sexual sphere.

Therapies

Due to the fact that diphallia is the result of violations of fetal development, it is accompanied by infertility. The treatment of this pathology is performed using surgical intervention. Elimination of anomalies of the penis you can start from the age of two. In this case the sooner treatment is started, the fewerproblems related to sexual behavior, will be in the future. Surgical treatment diphallia is to remove less developed penis. However, as practice shows, holders of diphallia often do not want to part with double the penis and prefer to remain barren, but to avoid surgery.

Thus, diphallia is a congenital disorder that brings its owner a lot of discomfort and affecting his sex life. The reason of doubling has not been fully established. The only solution is surgical treatment, which not only helps to remove immature sexual organ, but also to get rid of infertility. The existence of this pathology suggests the need for pregnant women closely monitor their health, not abusing alcohol, spirits and attentive to accept the medicines.
