I'm kind of freaking out. I had always known that something wasn't normal. I can ejaculate normally. When i pee there are two streams usually. I don't know what to do. Nobody ever talked to me about this before and I didn't know I had it. Can I still impregnate a woman? Thanks in advance.

First of all relax. All that fancy term means is the opening of the urethra on your penis is not centered at the tip end. It is a common thing, actually, being slightly off center, and the estimates are that 3-4 boys per 200 babies have the condition to a noticeable degree. If it had been really bad, it would have been surgically corrected shortly after you were born, at the recommendation of the pediatrician who took care of you.
Yes, you will be able to become a father more than likely. You will still have all the same sensations of pleasure that all men have. Nothing about that is changed or affected.
There is a surgical procedure to change the way things look, but that surgery will also damage nerves in the area and leave you with less feeling- so it's not recommended for slight cases, or even cases where the opening is completely on the underside of the penis- so long as it is all enclosed, surgeons consider the surgical repair to be strictly cosmetic. It would only change how things look, not how they work. And as I said, the surgery would affect feeling in the area, and you could be left pretty much without sensation at all if things didn't go well.
Really, the only thing is that you look a bit different from some other fellows, but everything else is fine and functions as it should. So you won't write your name in the snow easily, and your aim might be a little less than accurate sometimes. But so far as everything else, you will be quite capable when the time arrives. If you are really curious about learning more about the condition, you can do a web search using the term hypospadias and get loads of it, or you can talk things over with a urologist who can answer you in person. In the meantime, don't freak out. You are probably closer to normal than you think, and nothing is broken or malfunctioning. You are more normal than you realize.

Honey, the only 100% reliable answer you can get to your questions is from YOUR DOCTOR.
You can't go by what you read from people giving you half-pot answers on here claiming to be professionals and such.
Contact your doctor with your questions and concerns and he/she will be more than happy to answer them for you and explain anything to you that you need help understanding. Most will also have pamplets and info guides for you to take home to read.
Just go the safe route and contact your doctor..!
Good Luck!

hypospadias just means your "hole" isn't in the right place. It's actually more common than you probably think. It doesn't affect anything else though. Don't worry. You can still get a woman pregnant.

yes you can still make children, it's really not that big a deal, happens to lots of guys, and if you are worried, you can have surgery, but sounds like yours isn't that bad a case
