Never did I have an erection until I was about 14 years old. I had hypospadias repaired but don't think that had anything to do with it. Evidently I was not normal and my question is why? |

Hi chesterbutton-ga, You're correct in saying that hyposadaias is not a cause of erectile dysfunction. As it says here, http://www.uro.com/hypospad.htm hypospadias occurs in about 1 of 100 male births and is usually corrected with surgery. None of the medical sources that I checked listed erectile dysfunction as a symptom of hypospadias. Also, I do not think it is certain that you were "not normal." The ability for a man (or boy) to achieve and maintain an erection is highly dependent on his various hormone levels. These hormones and their effects on erections are discussed here: http://www.wellnessmd.com/lowmale.html When you are under the age of 14, it is very possible that you did not have the necessary balance of hormones to achieve an erection. While that situation might not be the most common, it does not make it abnormal. This is especially true since you were able to have an erection after the age of 14. It is difficult to say more without additional information. Also, you might never know since you are now older and have changed. I hope that helps you. dogbite-ga |

Thanks for your answer to my question. I never thought about hormonal deficiency. A urologist once said it might have been a neurovascular thing and I guess that goes along with your hormonal approach. Anyway thanks again. |
