Complications include a decrease in urine flow rate, frequent urination, urinary tract infections, and inflammation or infection of the prostate (prostatitis). Over time, these complications can lead to damage to kidney function, which may be irreversible.

Peyronie’s disease is a disorder of the penis that involves scarring, painful erections. and penile curvature. Individuals with Peyronie’s disease may also experience a decrease in the quality or duration of their erections (erectile dysfunction).

Erectile Dysfunction

This was more commonly called impotence in the past. We offer treatment including injection therapy and penile implants.

Hypospadias

Hypospadias is a birth defect of the male urethra. The opening of the urethra appears along the undersurface of the penis instead of the tip of the head of the penis. We often treat children and adults with severe hypospadias or who have had prior surgery complicated by urethral strictures, chordee (downward curvature), and/or urethrocutaneous fistulas (an abnormal connection between the urethra and the skin on the undersurface of the penis.
