Chordee is the medical term for a congenital curvature of the penis. It is most commonly associated with hypospadias, where the curvature is ventral (downward bending) due to a fibrous band of tissue (the chordee) on the underside of the penis. This band acts like a tight bowstring, pulling the penis into a curved shape, especially during erection. Chordee can also occur without hypospadias. If significant, it can interfere with sexual intercourse and urination. Surgical correction of hypospadias always involves releasing this chordee to straighten the penis before reconstructing the urethra.
