What is chordee?

Chordee is downward bend of the head of the penis at the point where it meets the shaft, sometimes more noticeable on one side of the penis than the other. Sometimes this curve is mild and sometimes it can almost be a 90 degree downward bend. Chordee can occur in men who do not have hypospadias. However, if chordee is present, hypospadias is often also present.
