Summary[edit]

Description
English: This 1955 image depicted the penis of a Brisbane, Australia patient displaying morphologic changes indicative of hypospadias, and a bifid penis, making the act of urination very difficult, as can be seen here. The bifid penis and hypospadias are both congenital anomalies, which means that during fetal development in the womb, at a time when the male genitalia are morphologically evolving, i.e., approximately the 6th week of gestation, there is an incomplete fusion of what is structurally known as the genital tubercle, resulting in a bilateral duplication of the penis, or “diphallia”, and in this case, an accompanying hypospadias, or shortened urethra.
