Adult Patients with Aphallia: Were They Fertile?

The document discusses aphallia, a very rare congenital disorder with a prevalence of 1 in 10-30 million live births, with less than 100 cases reported. Aphallia is characterized by the absence of the penis, which affects micturition and coitus functions, but patients typically have normal sex hormone levels and male karyotyping. The condition is considered a nonhormonal difference in Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) and is caused by a local abnormality of the genital tubercle, despite the presence of normal hormonal influences for external genitalia development. The document does not provide specific information on the fertility of adult patients with aphallia.
