What is a common aspect of chordee during gestation?

Chordee is a condition characterized by a downward curvature of the penis, often associated with hypospadias. During gestation, it is common for cases of chordee to resolve spontaneously as the fetus develops. This spontaneous resolution can occur due to normal changes in tissue structure or the development of the penis, as the fetus grows and matures.

Choosing the option regarding spontaneous resolution reflects an understanding of the natural course and potential for improvement without intervention during fetal development. Some infants may present with chordee at birth, but their condition may not require immediate surgical intervention if it appears less severe or improves as they grow.

In contrast, immediate surgical intervention is not usually warranted unless other complications arise, and the association with advanced maternal age is not a common factor linked specifically to chordee. Chordee does not always lead to infertility; many males with this condition may still have the ability to father children, especially if treated appropriately. Therefore, the characteristic of the condition resolving spontaneously is a key aspect of understanding chordee during gestation.
