“Steve’s” Story

Recently, a UK man going by the name “Steve” spoke out about his hypospadias, a condition characterized by a urethral opening that it positioned on the side or underside of the male organ, sometimes partway down the shaft or at the base, rather than at the tip of the male organ. Steve also has micro-male organ condition; his organ is about one inch long when soft. He thought he was the only one in the world with these conditions; it wasn’t until age 60 that he discovered he wasn’t alone.

Steve’s urethral opening is located on the side of his male organ. This led to distress and unwillingness to get undressed in front of others throughout his adolescence. Also, presumably due to the micro-male organ condition, he reports that his tumescences top off at 4 inches and are not a “normal” circumference.

Rather than properly diagnosing him, a doctor surgically removed Steve’s prepuce when he was 21. While often a safe operation, it went wrong in Steve’s case, leading to nerve damage that numbed part of his male organ, making seed emission difficult.

While both the hypospadias and the micro-male organ conditions made it difficult to have normal sensual relationships, even after his botched surgery, Steve married a woman and they had two children together.

The conditions still affect Steve physically and emotionally. But, “It was a huge relief to learn I wasn’t the only man affected,” he said, according to Mirror.co.uk.

Hypospadias

This condition is thought to affect somewhere between 1 in 125 and 1 in 300 males. It can cause a number of complications if untreated, including:

• Urine spray
• A male organ head that tilts downward, making it impossible to urinate standing up
• Curved male organ while tumescent, leading to sensual difficulties
• Decreased fertility

Today, most affected males are treated for the condition by age two. Surgeons can use prepuce tissue to extend and repair the urethral opening. Success rates for surgery on grown men are not well-studied. Men should know that there are risks to any surgery, and before considering this method, should talk thoroughly with a urologist and other medical professionals. If there are no difficulties with sensual or urinary function, the best bet is psychological support.

Psychological Help

Seeking therapy for body image issues and sensual function problems associated with hypospadias and/or micro-male organ can do wonders for men. And, as Steve’s story relates, so can simply understanding that one is not alone. Seeking stories from other men online or joining a support group may be very helpful.

A Little Boost

Some men can get a little confidence boost in the manhood department by treating the member to a quality skin care product. A male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can tackle any dry skin issues a man may have, leaving the member looking its best and feeling more pleasant to the touch. While it will not repair medical conditions like hypospadias or micro-male organ, a crème can help men care for their male organs in whatever state they are currently. Those with health conditions affecting the male organ should consult with a doctor before using. It is important for men to do what they can to feel good about what they have, and if a skin care present for the male organ will help, it is a worthwhile investment.
