A painful erection of the penis, usually with downward curvature, occurring in gonorrhea.

a bend in the penis. In the exstrophy/epispadias group, chordee is typically upward in the direction of the abdominal wall. This is part of the total birth defect in this complex. This bend is fixed at the time of epispadias repair.

a penis curved foward towards the feet

scar tissue which forms during foetal development and causes bending of the penis.

curvature of the penis

Abnormal downward bend of the penis during an erection.

A downward bending of the penis that is a common feature in cases of hypospadias. This downward bending is most apparent when the penis is erect. In epispadias, chordee results in an upward bending instead of downward.

Chordee is a condition in which the penis curves downward (that is, in a ventral direction). The curvature is usually most obvious during erection, but resistance to straightening is often apparent in the flaccid state as well. In many cases but not all, chordee is associated with hypospadias.
