Micturition Studies and Sexual Function in Operated Hypospadiacs

Abstract

Micturition patterns in 33 males, aged 15 to 34 years, were investigated after hypospadias repair in childhood. Spraying of the urinary stream was the most common complaint (13 patients). Urinary flow was low in five patients as compared with controls, but in only one of these patients was an obstruction found that required treatment. Five patients had persistent curvature of the penis. One of them was unable to perform sexual intercourse.
