Kwanzaa Will Not Be Spared
Friday, December 26, 2008
Yes, those are corn nuts on the edges, although Lee calls them "acorns". There's also canned apple pie filling, cinnamon chocolate icing, pumpkin seeds, and of course the giant taper candles. Here's a handy diagram courtesy of One Horse Shy (which offers it as a poster or on t-shirts) in case you didn't catch all that:
If you want to watch Sandra work her magic you'll find the official video (with commercials) here, or watch a low-quality Youtube version here.
But wait, there's more! While I was digging around looking for more Kwanzaa Wreckage online (note: there is none) I uncovered a hilarious photo-documentary by Flickr user Kitty LaRoux of her and a friend (aided by an indeterminate amount of bourbon) attempting to recreate the cake. (Her blog post on it is hilarious, too.) The official recipe online includes popcorn in addition to the corn nuts and pumpkin seeds, so the end result - sans candles - ends up looking something like this:
The title of this photo is "We have to eat it?", and the reaction shot after she tries it is pretty priceless. I'm guessing it tastes as bad as it looks, Kitty?
Now, before you guys start complaining that this is not technically a Wreck, let me just say I can only work with what I'm given, alright? I haven't found ANY other Kwanzaa wreckage out there. In fact, I'm starting to think that this African festival of First Fruits is somehow anti-cake; that, or they're being made extremely well and kept in strict seclusion. Here's hoping that next year wreckerators will step it up. ;)

Really seriously??? This woman has her own show??? I know children who can "bake" better than that!!!
And those candles are pretty much a crime against ... well, everything. - December 26, 2008 at 10:18 AM

Is it weird of me to think that the first cake kind of looks like it's made of processed meat. O_o I mean, meat isn't usually paired with apples and corn nuts... but you never know.
And the Photostream... I sincerely hope that I am never served a cake with corn nuts. Especially not corn nuts that are green. X_X - December 26, 2008 at 10:33 AM

Haha, I think pretty much anything Sandra Lee makes can be included here. She's completely insane. And drunk.
- December 26, 2008 at 10:44 AM
Wow, I'm actually the 1st! This is just awesomely wrecktastic. Sandra Lee is a joke to the culinary world, imo. Who ever would even think to put CORN NUTS on a cake needs to be whomped upside the head.. lol.

She can't be sane. She got a mining stake through the head at some point in her life, right? I mean...right?

Those look and sound, horrible. Why bother? Bake a pie or something already.

The first one looks like a cake from the TV show Firefly. Though the cake on the show was made by a spaceship mechanic using protein. Here is the best picture I could find. http://www.moviemistakes.com/picture68902

Sandra Lee isn't a professional by any stretch of anyone's imagination (except hers, perhaps) so I think she's perfectly admissible for a CakeWreck.
By the way, it's rumored that FN no longer is calling it a Kwanzaa Cake, it's now an Autumn Cake or some such nonsense. - December 26, 2008 at 11:05 AM

What IS it about winter holidays and the gross fruity cakes they bring us? Christmas has fruitcake (just Ew), Chanukah has sufganiyot (otherwise known as jelly-filled donuts fried in oil. Bleh.) Now there is Kwanzaa, new to many of us, and with it comes a new taste treat: slimy apple-filled pumpkinseed-popcorn-cornnut abomination. I vote we start a new holiday (Winter Cakefest, maybe?) and designate an appropriately delicious (and hard to wreck) cake to go with it. NO FRUIT! NONE!
word verification: rerspr: the involuntary noise you make while trying not to vomit on your keyboard while viewing the Kwanzaa cake. - December 26, 2008 at 11:07 AM

popcorn, corn nuts and pumpkin seeds on a cake? That's just anti-cake.
And the Lee woman is a menace. - December 26, 2008 at 11:20 AM
Oh, that is HORRIFYING. Cinnamon? Apple-pie filling? CORN NUTS??? It boggles the mind. It's way too early to read a recipe like this. I'm dry-heaving.
- December 26, 2008 at 11:21 AM
That thing looks like a mud hut. Probably tastes like one too.

I don't know too much about Kwanzaa, but maybe the meal before the cake is so large, plentiful and delicious there's no room for cake?

O.K. I like Sandra Lee, but that has got to be one of the worst things she's ever made! The candles alone are enough to be a wreck...

Maybe it's all on purpose. Maybe Semi-Homemade is a kind of propaganda engine that is intended to convince people that if you want good food you'll have to do some real work and not just cobble together things you got at the supermarket. In that way it acts as a kind of advertising for other Food Network shows, which all advocate actually putting some effort into cooking.
It's like when you're mom tells you that, sure, you can go out in the snow with no coat on if you want to catch pneumonia and freeze to death. Sandra Lee just wants everyone to know that it's perfectly okay to buy a bunch of ready-made stuff at the last second and slap it together in an attempt to look like something homemade, as long as you don't care that it won't taste any better than store-bought and everybody will know what you did anyway. - December 26, 2008 at 11:51 AM

First of all, canned apple pie filling should be made illegal.
Second of all, what, exactly, IS that slab of crap on the top, anchoring the candles in place so that they don't topple over? The diagram points this out to be the pie filling, and yet it looks like some weird colored Play-Doh, and is completely unappetizing.
Corn nuts are not acorns (acorns are way cuter). Might as well have used actual acorns; no one's going to want to actually eat that abomination, anyway.
Last, but not least, Lee is a bad joke; I have a suggestion as to what she can do with those candles, but I won't say it in polite company.

Corn nuts are cake decoration of '09. She's just ahead of the game a little bit.
That's what I hear anyways.
Yikes. - December 26, 2008 at 12:18 PM
I actually got to watch this episode when I was home sick last week. I have been talking about this cake to my friends for days. If this woman can have a cooking show on TV, then certainly I could have one. Please... using canned icing on a store-bought cake? Genius.
In the spirit of laziness, let me delight you with one of my favorite recipes:
Wash and trim 5 stalks of celery
Cut celery into 3 inch-long pieces.
Arrange celery on a plate
Pour ranch dressing into small bowl
Put bowl of dressing on plate with celery
Dip celery into ranch dressing and enjoy! - December 26, 2008 at 12:38 PM

Holy Smokes. That thing looked disgusting! How on earth do canned frosting, cocoa, cinnamon, angelfood cake, friggin' corn nuts, and canned apple pie filling end up on the same plate? There is no way this "cake" could have passed muster in any kind of recipe testing. And don't get me started on canned frosting. No excuse for it whatsoever! People--frosting is the easiest thing to make in the kitchen, with the exception of boiled water!

How Sandra Lee even got on TV is a question in and of itself. That woman should not be allowed to do anything.

Eeww! Gross! (And she doesn't know the difference between frosting and icing.) We've got two apple cake recipes we make every Fall. They have real ingredients and people actually EAT them.
- December 26, 2008 at 1:22 PM
Its actually painful to watch

Kwanzaa is supposed to celebrate the harvest, so I never really understood why the hell it's in December and not October(this is only one reason why I don't celebrate it). I mean, WTF?
I remember the first time I saw this cake on Semi-Homemade. I think I wanted to go thru the screen and strangle her! It was(and still is) such a travesty that I considered her the bane of Food Network's existence.
Then I made her gingerbread cookies this year and I had to shut up. *lol*
But I think this totally counts as a wreck. It's wrong to the nth degree! - December 26, 2008 at 1:41 PM

They look like one of those balls covered in seeds that you hang out for the birds!
- December 26, 2008 at 1:42 PM
It's the Kwanzaa Kake of Kultural Insensitivity!
Every time I describe this cake to people, their jaws drop. Its horror needs to spread as far and wide as possible. (By the way, it's no longer a Kwanzaa Cake on the Food Network website; it's now a "Harvest Cake" so it can nauseate everyone all autumn long!) - December 26, 2008 at 1:52 PM
How is it this woman, who I'm assuming (and most likely correctly) doesn't now SQUAT about Kwanzaa be allowed to make a "cake" commemorating it?? This woman needs to keep the frack out of the kitchen. I've seen her show a total of twice and the only thing she does semi-correctly was the cocktails. She seems to have left out the Valium that usually accompanies it though...What a douche
- December 26, 2008 at 2:00 PM
Is it possible to classify this cake as a hate crime?
- December 26, 2008 at 2:19 PM
- Aviatrix said...
When you said that you were making an "exception" to include the cake, at first I thought you were referring to the Sunday exception where you feature non-wreck cakes, so I scrolled down to see the non-Wreck Kwanzaa cake.
I blinked at it, thinking as charitably as I could, "Well, it doesn't have the ... style, and uh, smooth perfection that the non-wreck cakes usually do, but I don't know anything about Kwanzaa nor much about cake decorating. Maybe I'm missing something that makes this cake great." I carefully examined the anatomical diagram, the trimming and the list of ingredients before it dawned on me that you weren't trying desperately to be culturally sensitive, and that when you said that you couldn't find any Kwanzaa wrecks, you meant by commercial bakeries. - December 26, 2008 at 2:27 PM

They both look like they'd taste horrible! Sandra had to have come up with that idea when she was a bit too tipsy, right? Right? I can't imagine that anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa would think it was a good idea.

Seriously, the title of the show might as well be.... "Leftovers and pantry scraps".... whoever watches that for good ideas needs more help than the Food Network can offer.... just stop and buy a dozen donuts... your guests would appreciate them more! :)

Gag me! I think Sandra was hitting the cocktails too hard when she came up with this one. Gross!

No Kwanza Wreckage? Oh, I think not. In fact, that Sandra Lee monstrosity is about as wrecky as it gets. Now, I must disclaim because I think she does fine with her niche area (sorry, but there IS an audience out there for shortcut meal ideas), but her desserts are almost entirely gag-worthy. Case-in-point this Kwanza thing. Does mud pie come to anyone else's mind here? Gross.

I'm still trying to "taste" that chocolate/cinnamon thing in my head...and WHY would you add vanilla to vanilla frosting? Isn't that a given? I can't imagine where she came up the idea of yukky canned apple filling. The candles alone are horrific!!! This is an unimaginable and totally disgusting(urp)WRECK.
Thanks for this. You are my new favorite blogspot.
Kathleen - December 26, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Oh my tummy hurts just looking at it! If you serve this cake at a gathering of friends or family, be sure to check all your flower pots and wastebaskets after - people didn't really gobble it up that fast. Oh, and keep the number of the vet handy, too.

What about Hanukkah? We must have loads of wrecked cakes yet... It's still not over!

I watched the video and the sight of her dumping that pie filling into the - uh - gorge actually triggered my gag reflex. Day-um. I thought I was made of sterner stuff.

ok, even though other cakes have looked truly hideous with their spelling, choice of colors, and lack of decorating talent...THIS cake actually made my nauseous. the idea of eating popcorn and corn nuts on a cake...*shiver*...is just wrong. it's right up there with the meat "cake"!!
- December 26, 2008 at 3:52 PM
How about a picture of the cake someone actually MADE ?

Cocoa, sweet spices, and grated apples combine nicely in one of the only cakes I bother to make entirely from scratch. (I think combining may be the concept this cake is missing.) Maybe there would be more Kwanzaa wrecks if it were a festival of First Cakes rather than First Fruits.
- December 26, 2008 at 4:33 PM
This cake is embarrassing, darn near insulting. How was she allowed to name this after Kwanzaa? Have I missed something? Shame Cake is better. And I really liked Sandra Lee with all her shortcomings, I mean, short cutting recipes.

Of course, when I think of harvest festivals, I think of wealthy white women.
To be fair, I liked the idea with the sheetcake on the sheetcake only for having children at a party decorate a cake (Certainly not to substitute for a wedding cake or for anything other then having kids help decorate).
But this is horrendous. It's like she wanted to combine the ingredients with the least amount of effort possible. - December 26, 2008 at 5:54 PM

The absolute best part of that cake is reading the reviews of the recipe on the Food Network site. Seriously, go there now and sample a few because: hilarity.

I think this monstrosity is appropriately wrecktastic! Who said a wreck had to "look" wreck-y? The combos thrown together for this doozy make me think she took darts into her pantry and just started throwing randomly. "Hm, Corn Nuts on a cake? Well, if the darts say so..."

- December 26, 2008 at 7:16 PM
Cinnamon and chocolate are good together. Cinnamon and apples are good together. Vanilla and chocolate are good together.
The trouble arises when the corn nuts arrive at the party, and it's exacerbated by the fact that neither canned frosting nor canned apple-pie filling are really edible.
And whatever possessed her to put it on an ANGEL food cake? (Not that corn nuts and pepitas are going to go over like anything but a lead balloon as cake decor, no matter what kind of cake/frosting you sprinkle them over.) - December 26, 2008 at 7:43 PM
- Scritzy said...
I had an uncle who used to fill his plate with food, slop mayonnaise on top, stir it all together and eat it.
I thought of him when I saw this cake.
I cry for those corn nuts. - December 26, 2008 at 9:47 PM
AC: It should be...but intent may be difficult to prove w/ her "altered" state of alcohol and valium...
I could do better w/ a show *actually* called "leftovers and pantry scraps" and my stuff would be edible! Oh wait, b/c I'd do actual cooking w/ the leftovers and pantry scraps.
Josh: what's also extra-special about this "semi-homemade" cake is that it will taste WORSE than the individual ingredients on their own. Talk about an endorsement for the *cooking* shows on FN.
Thanks, Jen, for posting this! I've been waiting for this ever since the "watch SL decorate w/ Mario!" post. - December 26, 2008 at 10:27 PM
- Jena said...
Oh yes, that was from the episode where she made a festive angel food cake for each of the three major December holidays - Kwanzaa, Hannukah and winter. (She left out Christmas.)
The Hannukah cake was frosted with blue icing and she made a star of David out of a wire strung with pearls. The winter cake was just coated with canned frosting and coconut.
It was a seriously painful episode - I can remember watching it with my old roommate and the two of us screaming in disbelief at the screen at what she was going to do next... and then being sadly correct.
That woman needs to be kicked. Hard. - December 26, 2008 at 11:17 PM
- Heather said...
What, exactly does this have to do with Kwanzaa? I'm pretty sure canned apple pie filling, angel food cake and store bought frosting are not traditional foods anywhere in Africa.
Wait a minute. Kwanzaa is a uniquely American holiday, although it's founder would suggest it has African roots. These foods are pretty typically used in the U.S. But not just by black people.
Why am I trying to make sense out of something Sandra Lee does? - December 27, 2008 at 12:12 AM
The grandkids made something like this last year in school. Then they hung it on a tree for the birds.

Sandra Lee scares me! She is like some sort of "everything must be the same color scheme"Stepford Wife drone. NO offense, but GEEZ, would it hurt to NOT blend into your background. LOL
I always wondered how much they spend to redecorate/color- coordinate that set for every episode. - December 27, 2008 at 12:20 AM
Corn nuts were the ammunition of choice in food fights when I was in high school because they stuck in your hair. I've never been convinced they were actually meant to be edible.

That cake is vile. As for Sandra Lee, I keep waiting for her to catch on fire, because she never pushes back her billowing sleeves in the kitchen. (Mind you, I won't WATCH for her to catch on fire, but I wait for the news report.) I figure she's pickled in enough ETOH she should go up like a Roman Candle. THAT will be punishment enough for all the travesties she's inflicted on the culinary world...
- December 27, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Is that for real?
I also like how the skinny blonde WASP chick is making the Kwanzaa cake.
might as well just continue the stereotypes and add some fried chicken and watermelon on top of that "harvest cake." - December 27, 2008 at 10:46 AM
I just have to say that the only time I've ever eaten corn nuts was when they were served with ceviche (raw fish or other seafood "cooked" in lemon, for those of you who don't know). So their presence on this cake is uber confusing - and even more icky - to me...

OH. MY. HELL. I watched the little video. I thought certainly it couldn't be true. But there you have it. First off, I'm appalled she had the audacity to call it "gorgeous." It really is an eye sore, isn't it? And "DELICIOUS"? Really? With all those flavors together, I'd think it'd taste more like...umm...vomit? Honestly, corn nuts with cinnamon-chocolate icing and apple pie filling?! HOY! (That's my dry-heaving sound.)
The ONLY positive thing about this cake is that it's easy to decorate. Although I'd be embarrassed to show it to anybody.
Kudos to Sandra Lee for...no, wait. Somebody actually PRODUCES this show. I think that's the real crime. - December 27, 2008 at 1:54 PM

Dear...God. This is disgusting. As an African American I'm offended that this woman thinks that this is what passes for traditional cooking. Corn nuts?! On a cake?! Really?!?
- December 27, 2008 at 1:59 PM
Okay, do you know how horrifying this was to me? I didn't even -know- you could buy canned apple pie filling. Ugh, my teeth hurt just thinking about the amount of sugar they dump in with them. This is obviously a "food device" created by the same fiends who concocted canned "frosting".

This has got to be the biggest wreck yet. And ahe is a professional, since she gets paid to assemble ingredients to make "food" and "desserts."
Emily, you should pitch that celery recipe to Food Network!
Besides all the comments already said...
My husband eats corn nuts, they are nearly inedible to me. They seriously hurt my teeth they are so hard. It makes my teeth hurt imagining biting into one amidst cake!!!
And what Idiot would call them acorns!?!?!? Acorns???
Who doesn't know what an acorn is? Acorns are too bitter to eat without some major processing efforts, and you would sprinkle whole acorns on a cake!
WHY is she calling them acorns? This is really bothering me. Does anyone have the video of the press conference she (should have) had to apologize for this travesty and to explain why she doesn't know the difference in an inedible squirrel treat and a convenience store husband treat??
Alex - December 27, 2008 at 2:35 PM
I've long held the belief that Sandra Lee has pictures of Food Network execs in compromising positions. It's the only thing that explains how long this madness been perpetrated upon the public.
The recipe is just plain gone from Food Network's site.

I love this site. There are so many ways to screw something up by accident. But what is really amazing is when a person makes something like the Kwanzaa cake which is just so wrong on so many levels and does not realize how bad it is.

"Kwanzaa is supposed to celebrate the harvest, so I never really understood why the hell it's in December and not October(this is only one reason why I don't celebrate it). I mean, WTF?"
I remember reading (back in the 80's or early 90's) that Kwanzaa was placed after Christmas when created, to encourage black children (and adults) to stop focusing on the **materialism** of Christmas as celebrated by the white majority of that time--to lead them to develop a strong sense of ethnic identity as being part of a community, and understanding how they contribute to community. If you know the history of the Civil Rights movement in the 1960's you know that many black people were poor in the 1960s, and the kids were getting the idea that it was better to be white than black (see "The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison) because, on TV and in the press, white people had beautiful homes and got all these great gifts at Christmas and so on, and could buy anything they wanted, and black people got little or nothing because that is what they could afford. So Kwanzaa focuses attention on community and ability.
Anyway, you could technically be harvesting till November, so this would be the time you rest from labors and make those homemade gifts and so on. - December 29, 2008 at 3:42 PM

After showing the vid to my husband, I foolishly asked him what flavor combination could be worse - he suggested "What if she glazed it with maple syrup?" Never ask a husband a question you don't want to hear an answer to!
That woman is a menace, how did she get a show on FN? Cable access is probably too much exposure for her "recipes." - December 29, 2008 at 8:44 PM

Did you ever notice that the main ingredient in all of Sandra Lee's recipes, whether it be roast beef or an apple pie is "whipped topping". B***h must have stock in cool whip.
- December 31, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Um, I think this cake officially qualifies as a hate crime.

I saw this awful cake around holiday time and forgot about this gem until just now. That thing is an internet good legend!
Here's it's twin sister, the Hanukkah cake: http://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/hannukah-cake/3201.html
Note, the Star of David is the wrong shape, and I don't believe those are Kosher marshmallows she shoved into the middle of that poor innocent cake.

I agree that anything Sandra Lee does is a qualified wreck- even if its not a cake! Have you featured the "Christmas Tree" cake she made? I haven't looked around your entire site- but that one is a gem.

...So, what's Sandra Lee up to today? Let's pop over to the Food Network website and... No.
NO! The first cake for today (12/24/09) is "Angel Food Cake with Mixed Berries". Guess how you make it? Take a store-bought angel-food cake, take some berries and sugar, mash berries and sugar together, then pour them on the cake. Genius! Innovative! --Huh? Oh yes, I guess she is a generous dab of whipped cream short of a strawberry shortcake.
I understand if FN tries to attract non-cooks, but I didn't realize that combining ingredients in a bowl was so radical. By golly, I could do a half-hour show on the caramelized pairing of pancake syrup and peanut butter! I must be in the wrong biz. - December 24, 2009 at 8:35 AM

And Sandra Lee makes me want to punch kittens. - January 3, 2010 at 12:58 PM
Oddly enough, I remember her doing a similar cake years ago. It also involved a store-bought angel food cake. And pale blue icing. The kind of pale blue you might get if you mixed Drano with pure white icing. Yeah. That covered the cake. It was a Hanukkah cake. It's in the same episode as the Kwanzaa cake. I think my favorite part is when she forcefully stuffs marshmallows into the center of the cake with the frosting laden knife. *Shudder*

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Ten of Arrows
You are up against the wall, and it is appropriate to admit it.
The Ten of this suit represents finality, the end of something. As is easy to grasp from the picture in many decks, there is no hope for revival here. A limit has been reached, a line has been crossed and there is no turning back. In some situations this may be felt as a tragic loss, but it often brings with it a paradoxical sense of release and closure. The waiting and wondering are over. There is no more ambiguity. You can rightly let go and move on, as there is no more progress to be made here.
Emotionally and psychologically, this card appears when one is exhausted and used up, burnt out by the effort of caring and responding and trying to make a difference. When a person feels this way, they have reached burnout and can no longer be held responsible for anything, and therefore can be forgiven for caving in or ceding the fight. The simple instructions are: "Go no further along these lines!"
In the Advice Position
Protect yourself while the storm rages and focus on rebuilding after it passes.
The card in the Advice position suggests a course of action which will harmonize what you want with what is currently possible.
The Ten of Swords in this position advises that you lay low for a while. Don't make a move. Keep yourself as safe as possible until the drama, even the possible trauma, plays itself out. Once the turmoil dies down, then you can assess the damage and start to make repairs. The situation can be compared to a hurricane moving through the neighborhood. You can't be sure whether it is going to pass over a corner of the field or whether it is going to slam into your house.
In the face of such unpredictability, protect yourself, hope for the best and wait it out. Sometimes, an extreme turn of events serves as a pressure relief valve for all the unexpressed and unresolved energy that had been building up. Trust the process even though things may seem pretty drastic right now.

Athazagoraphobia is the irrational fear of being forgotten or ignored. Someone suffering from this condition can expect to experience a very high amount of anxiety from merely thinking of being forgotten or ignored, let alone actually experiencing it. In fact, their anxiety may be so intense that they may even endure a full blown panic attack as a result of it. Although such an influx of anxiety will not always be the case for everyone suffering from athazagoraphobia, it is still very plausible to occur nonetheless.
Someone experiencing a full blown panic attack as a result of their athazagoraphobia can expect to have an increased heart rate, an increased rate of breathing, higher blood pressure, muscle tension, trembling, and excessive sweating, among several other symptoms. Although panic attacks may not always be the case for everyone experiencing symptoms of athazagoraphobia, it is still possible to occur, especially if their symptoms are very severe.
Someone suffering from athazagoraphobia may find themselves avoiding that which they fear. They may take this to the extreme by ensuring that they cannot be exposed to being forgotten or ignored in any way. For example, someone with this condition may become overly concerned with ensuring that they cannot be forgotten by anyone. Such excessive worry and irrational thinking is likely to be one of the main causes of their mental anguish.
Although someone with this condition may actively avoid their fear in an attempt to help them reduce their chances of experiencing any immediate anxiety, doing so may also worsen their symptoms of athazagoraphobia in the long term due to the fact that they would also be justifying their fear to themselves by actively avoiding it.
Symptoms of Athazagoraphobia
As is the case with virtually every other phobia that exists, someone with athazagoraphobia can expect anxiety to be the most prominent symptom of their condition. Also, as previously mentioned, their anxiety may be so extreme that they may even endure full blown panic attacks as a result of it. Depending on the severity of their panic attack, they may even need to be hospitalized. However, this will vary from person to person and will be dependent on many factors.
Furthermore, someone with athazagoraphobia may go to painstaking efforts to ensure that they do not come into contact with their fear in any way. This may mean them not only avoiding areas where they may come into contact with their fear, but also that they may actively try to prevent it from happening by taking a more hands-on approach.
Below, you will see some more common symptoms of this phobia:
- Anxiety when thinking of being forgotten or ignored
- Unable to cope with their anxiety
- Muscle tension, shakiness, and sweating
- May experience panic attacks
Causes of Athazagoraphobia
There are no definitive causes of athazagoraphobia. Nevertheless, genetics and one's environment may both play very significant roles in the development of this condition. For example, if someone has a family history of mental illness, especially of anxiety disorders or specific phobias, then they may have a higher chance of developing athazagoraphobia. This may be due to them then having a genetic predisposition to developing mental illness in general.
If someone were to have such genetics, then it may only require that they experience some sort of traumatic event for them to develop full blown athazagoraphobia. Essentially, any sort of emotionally painful event that involved the various fears associated with athazagoraphobia in some way may be enough for someone to develop this condition insofar as they have the proper genetics.
Although we do not know the exact causes of athazagoraphobia, the consensus among most mental health professionals is that both genetics and environmental factors play very significant roles in the development of any given mental disorder. So, taking a closer look at these two different parameters may shed some light as to whether or not you may be at risk for developing athazagoraphobia.
Athazagoraphobia Treatments
Just as there are no definitive causes of athazagoraphobia, there are also no treatments that are specifically designed for this condition either. Nevertheless, there are still many different forms of treatment that can help to significantly improve many of the symptoms of athazagoraphobia. Some of these treatments include exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and some psychiatric medications, among others.
Exposure therapy is one of the most common forms of treatment for people suffering from phobias. Exposure therapy works by having the therapist gradually expose the patient to their fear over a given period of time. With regards to athazagoraphobia, the therapist may "expose" the patient to their fear by educating them on the topic of their fear, among other things. This would all be in an attempt to help desensitize the patient to their fear by repetitively exposing them to it. Theoretically, the more someone is exposed to something they fear, the less it will bother them over time.
CBT is another very common form of treatment that is often used to help people suffering from generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), among other conditions. Moreover, it may also be effective at helping to treat people suffering from phobias like athazagoraphobia as well. CBT works by having the therapist help the patient to uncover why it is that they think, feel, and behave the way they do with regards to a particular fear or concern they have.
Someone with athazagoraphobia partaking in CBT can expect to learn why it is that they think the way they do about their fear, among other things. Understanding such things may help someone with athazagoraphobia to take a more pragmatic approach when thinking about their fear of being forgotten or ignored.
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) for Athazagoraphobia
MBSR is an 8-week evidence-based program that offers secular, intensive mindfulness training to help people who are suffering from anxiety, stress, depression, and other sorts of mental anguish. MBSR may be able to significantly help someone who is suffering from athazagoraphobia as mindfulness meditation has been shown to be very beneficial for anxious people. In such a structured program, someone with athazagoraphobia can expect to learn a plethora of different skills that can help them to relieve the intense anxiety that's associated with their specific phobia.
Talk to your doctor or therapist to see if MBSR can help you to reduce the intensity of your symptoms of athazagoraphobia, as well as where to find MBSR programs in your area.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Athazagoraphobia
CBT is a psycho-social intervention that aims to improve one's mental health. It is a modality that is often used to treat people suffering from anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder and OCD. Someone with athazagoraphobia may also be able to benefit from CBT as well seeing as how it would allow them to have a much better understanding as to why they think and behave the way they do in relation to their irrational fears.
CBT can be immensely helpful for someone with athazagoraphobia given the sheer automaticity of their symptoms. For example, when someone with athazagoraphobia is exposed to their fear, they will almost always have an instantaneous subconscious reaction to their fear. Such a lack of introspection is likely a large part of why someone with this condition will suffer to the extent that they will. CBT can help you to take a step back and analyze your fears more deeply than you typically would.
Besides learning to be more fastidious with regards to understanding one's specific fears, someone with athazagoraphobia engaging in CBT can also expect to learn various other skills aimed at helping to relieve the anxiety caused by their condition.
Psychiatric Medications for Athazagoraphobia
Anti-anxiety meds
These types of medications are very useful to help prevent panic attacks. Such drugs can be extremely useful for people suffering from severe athazagoraphobia due to the fact that people with phobias often experience panic attacks as well. Some common anti-anxiety medications include Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin, among many others.
These types of drugs are not typically taken on a daily basis, but they may be insofar as their athazagoraphobia is severe enough. However, this is something that you should first discuss with your doctor before you decide to do so to ensure that it is safe and effective.
These types of medications aren't only for people who suffer from depression as they can also help people suffering from anxiety disorders as well, such as athazagoraphobia. Some common antidepressants are Paxil, Zoloft, and Lexapro, among several others. These drugs may be able to help reduce some of the symptoms of athazagoraphobia.
These types of drugs are typically taken on a daily basis. They can indeed help prevent panic attacks from occurring, but they are more so used to help reduce people's daily anxiety. Talk to your doctor to see if taking antidepressants can help to reduce your symptoms of athazagoraphobia, as well as whether or not it is safe to do so.
Meditation Techniques for Athazagoraphobia
There are many different forms of meditation that exists which can be very advantageous for someone suffering from athazagoraphobia. Specifically, mindfulness meditation has been shown to be quite beneficial for helping people to enter into a more equanimous state. There are many different ways with which you can implement mindfulness meditation and there are also many different meditation apps which are designed to make things as easy as possible for you.
Mindfulness has the potential to significantly help those suffering from athazagoraphobia due to how it will help one to distract themselves from their fear by refocusing their attention onto something else that does not have any sort of emotional baggage attached to it, such as by focusing on the breath for example. This is one of the most basic ways that one can meditate and be present.
For someone with athazagoraphobia in the midst of a panic attack, redirecting one's attention to the various sensations felt when breathing can actually help to reduce the amount of mental anguish experienced during such an influx of anxiety.
To implement mindfulness meditation to help relieve one's symptoms of athazagoraphobia, you can do so by paying close attention to the way the muscles in your abdomen and chest contract and relax with every inhale and exhale. You can spend time dwelling on how it feels as your chest expands during each inhale and how it sinks in with every exhale.
Besides focusing on your breathing, you can also focus on the sounds around you, the way your skin feels as you touch certain objects, the way foods taste, as well as the way certain aromas smell. Essentially, honing into your 5 senses can significantly help you to reduce some of the anxiety that is associated with athazagoraphobia. Also, remember that it will take a lot of practice to become an adept meditator. So, practice is key.
Consuming Less Caffeine for Athazagoraphobia
It is no secret that consuming large amounts of caffeine throughout the day can aid in making you more anxious. This makes sense when we look closely at how caffeine affects our body's physiology. When we consume a high dose of caffeine, our heart will start to beat faster and we become more tense. Essentially, our body will begin to go into a "fight or flight" state of mind. Such a frame of mind is often a precursor for someone with athazagoraphobia to experience panic attacks.
So, consuming little to no caffeine throughout the day may be able to significantly help reduce your day to day anxiety. Although doing so will likely not make all of your anxiety go away, it will indeed help you to reduce any unnecessary suffering that you would have otherwise experienced if you were to consume a large amount of caffeine.
Beverages like coffee and tea are often high in caffeine, as well as some energy drinks. In fact, even some foods have caffeine in them as well, such as dark chocolate. Being more conscious of your daily caffeine consumption may help you to reduce some of the symptoms associated with athazagoraphobia.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Athazagoraphobia
DBT is a very effective form of treatment for people struggling with emotion regulation. It is often used to treat people suffering from borderline personality disorder. Nevertheless, it can also be very advantageous for someone suffering from anxiety disorders like athazagoraphobia too. This is due to the numerous amount of coping skills you can expect to learn in a DBT group. These groups typically last about 6 months long and can have anywhere from two people to several people depending on how many join the group.
One very effective DBT skill for helping someone with athazagoraphobia is half-smiling. This technique works by having you think about that which you fear or upsets you all while slightly raising the corners of your mouth by lightly smiling, thus the term "half-smiling." Although, it isn't enough to just think about your fear while half-smiling, you also have to try and refrain from entertaining those painful emotions that your specific fear may evoke.
Mindfulness meditation is also heavily used in DBT and can greatly benefit someone with athazagoraphobia as it is done in a group setting, which helps to put the patient out of their comfort zone. These group mindfulness practices may include drinking warm tea to hone in on the sense of taste and tactile senses or simply focusing on the breath.
Coping ahead is another very useful DBT skill that can help someone with athazagoraphobia. With coping ahead, you will want to find a place where you can sit down quietly without distraction. Close your eyes and then think about the many different possible scenarios where you would face your specific fear and overcome it or cope with it. Doing so will help you to be much better adept at coping with your athazagoraphobia when you are actually exposed to the specific fear associated with it in real life.
Exposure Therapy for Athazagoraphobia
As previously mentioned, exposure therapy is one of the most common ways to treat anxiety disorders such as athazagoraphobia. It can be an efficient way to help desensitize the patient to their specific fears. Be that as it may, it is imperative that the therapist implementing it on their patient is very adept at doing so. For example, if the therapist were to slightly expose someone with athazagoraphobia to their fear, then it may not be very effective as they may need a higher amount of exposure to truly trigger any sort of worthwhile change in the patient.
The same can be said for the antithesis of this scenario. If the therapist were to excessively expose someone with athazagoraphobia to their fear, then doing so could be highly counterproductive to the point to where their athazagoraphobia may become immensely worse due to the therapy alone. So, it is paramount that the therapist implementing exposure therapy for someone with athazagoraphobia has a very strong sense of just how severe their symptoms are so that they can know the level of exposure that the patient will likely be able to handle.
Working Out for Athazagoraphobia
Exercise has been shown to be extremely beneficial for people suffering from anxiety disorders, including athazagoraphobia. Specifically, cardiovascular exercise can significantly help to relieve one's stress. This is not to say that weight-resistance training would not benefit someone with anxiety, but rather that aerobic exercise is has been shown to be more effective at releasing those feel good chemicals in the brain, such as endorphins.
According to the American Psychology Association, exercise can help to condition the mind to better cope with stressful situations. This makes sense when we take into consideration the high amount of stress that the body is put under during strenuous exercise. So, if you yourself are sedentary, then engaging in some form of aerobic exercise may be able to significantly help reduce your symptoms of athazagoraphobia by making it much easier for you to cope with the anxiety and stress that's associated with this condition.
There are many different aerobic modalities that you can partake in to help reduce your symptoms of athazagoraphobia, such as swimming, biking, skiing, walking, and jogging. You can also acquire the many benefits of exercise by playing sports such as tennis, soccer, basketball, and racquetball, among many other sports. Engaging in some form of exercise consistently may be able to help relieve some of the pain associated with athazagoraphobia over time.
Yoga Practice for Athazagoraphobia
There are numerous different yoga poses that can substantially benefit someone who is suffering from athazagoraphobia. In part, this is due to the meditative state of mind that yoga tends to emit in those who practice it on a consistent basis. Yoga can be thought of as meditation in motion. It can help to relieve some of the anxiety associated with athazagoraphobia due to the mere fact that by engaging in yoga, your attention will be redirected to something more productive.
There are many different types of yoga that someone with athazagoraphobia can benefit from, such as hatha yoga or hot yoga, among many others. Nevertheless, regardless of the many different forms of yoga that exist, virtually all of them can help to relieve some of the stress and anxiety that is associated with athazagoraphobia.
If you have never practiced yoga before, then it may be in your best interest to take a class or watch some guided videos that can help you through each pose. Just like with meditation, the more you practice yoga, the more adept you will become at it. Besides helping you to reduce your symptoms of athazagoraphobia, you can also expect to acquire increased strength and flexibility, among other benefits.
If you think you may be suffering from some of the symptoms of this condition, then you may benefit from therapy. Feel free to reach out to your doctor or local mental health clinic to see what your available options are and to see if there is any sort of discount or promo code available to help you with the costs of treatment, as well as if your health insurance will cover treatment costs.

Workers are entitled to paid annual leave. We consider their entitlement and some complications. If you are an employer in the Newark area we, at Chesapeake Associates Ltd, can provide you with assistance or any additional information required.
Under the Working Time Regulations 1998 (as amended), workers are entitled to paid statutory annual leave of 5.6 weeks (28 days if the employee works five days a week). This basic entitlement is inclusive of bank holidays. This annual leave entitlement is now closer to that of workers in other European countries where holiday allowance is typically more generous. Workers in Ireland are entitled to 29 days; the highest minimum entitlement is in Austria at 38 days.
A worker is entitled to be paid in respect of any period of annual leave for which they are entitled at a rate of one week's pay for each week's leave. For employees with normal working hours, a week's pay is the pay due for the basic hours the employee is contracted to work. Any regular contractual bonuses or allowances (except expense allowances) which do not vary with the amount of work done are also included.
Where a worker has variable pay, a week's pay is based on their average weekly earnings. For leave years that begin before 1 April 2024, the average is calculated from the previous 52 weeks, discounting any weeks where no pay was received. For leave years beginning on or after 1 April 2024 there is a new accrual method and holiday entitlement for these workers will be calculated as 12.07% of actual hours worked in a pay period.
When calculating a week's pay, some additional elements may need taking into account in addition to base pay.
Commission has previously not been included in the calculation of holiday pay, however, following a ruling by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) which was upheld by the Court of Appeal, when commission is related to the number of sales made whilst at work, it should also be included in the calculation of holiday pay. There was a further appeal to the Supreme Court, which was not granted and employers will now be required to comply with this ruling.
Guaranteed and non-guaranteed overtime should also be included along with regular voluntary overtime payments. The difference between non-guaranteed and voluntary overtime is that the employee is obliged to do non-guaranteed overtime if it is offered, but can turn down voluntary overtime. Where the voluntary overtime is irregular or ad hoc it does not need to be included unless it extends for a sufficient period of time on a regular and/or recurring basis. This includes overtime regularly worked at certain points in the year, for example at Christmas, as well as frequently worked overtime throughout the year.
These additional elements need only be included for the four weeks of statutory leave required by European law which is lower than the UK minimum of 5.6 weeks, it can be excluded for any additional days above this.
Under the Regulations any statutory annual leave may not be replaced by a payment in lieu, except on termination of employment. In such cases, a payment can be made for any untaken leave in the leave year that termination occurs. Payment may also be due for any carried over leave because of maternity/adoption leave or sickness.
Employees should be allowed to choose when they take some of their leave although many employers do set certain conditions, for example that only a certain number of workers may take leave at the same time or that workers may not take more than a certain number of consecutive working days off in one go.
It is common for employers to have a procedure in place for these instances and it should include the procedure for notification. If this is excluded then the legal position is that an employee requesting a period of leave must give notice of at least twice the period of leave to his or her employer. A similar arrangement of notice must be given by the employer if they are requesting the employee to take leave at specific times.
Workers accrue their annual leave entitlement on a pro rata basis during their first year of employment. This is calculated in relation to the proportion of the employment year worked. Therefore, the annual leave entitlement will accrue over the course of the worker's first year of employment at the rate of 1/12 of the annual entitlement, starting on the first day of each month. If the calculation does not result in an exact number of days then the figure will be rounded up to the nearest half day.
Under the Regulations, time off for bank holidays should be pro-rated. Part time workers are currently entitled to 5.6 weeks' holiday, based on the hours a week that they work, regardless of whether they work on days on which bank holidays fall. For leave years beginning on or after 1 April 2024 this should be based on actual hours worked using the 12.07% accrual method.
The ECJ ruled that it is unlawful for employers to roll up workers' annual leave payments - however, for leave years beginning on or after 1 April 2024, employers can use rolled-up holiday pay for irregular-hours or part-year workers as opposed to paying holiday pay when a worker actually takes annual leave.
An employer can increase a worker's statutory annual leave entitlement via a contractual arrangement. In such cases any unused additional annual leave may be carried over to the next leave year. This is often a matter of employer discretion and will depend on the terms of the contract.
An employee continues to accrue their statutory annual leave entitlement of 5.6 weeks and any additional contractual annual leave entitlement throughout both ordinary maternity leave (OML) and additional maternity leave (AML).
Employees are now entitled to reclassify statutory holiday as sick leave if they fall ill whilst on prearranged statutory holiday. This means that they are entitled to take the statutory holiday they have missed at a later date. If they are unable to take the rest of their statutory holiday that holiday year they can carry it over to the next holiday year. If you offer more than 5.6 weeks holiday a year, you do not have to allow an employee to reclassify any additional (contractual) holiday as sickness absence. However, you will have to ensure that they can take their full statutory holiday at other times. If you pay contractual sick pay, you can minimise the scope for abuse by making contractual sick pay in these circumstances contingent on the employee notifying you on the first day of illness that they are ill and, possibly, requiring them to provide a medical certificate from the first day of their illness.
Employees who are on sick leave can ask their employer to re-classify their absence as statutory holiday in order to receive holiday pay. If an employee on sick leave does not want to take their outstanding statutory holiday before your current leave year ends, they should be permitted to carry it over into the next leave year. Employees returning from sick leave can take their statutory holiday entitlement for the current year on their return but, if there is insufficient time for them to take it, they should be allowed to carry it forward to the next leave year.
Employee contracts should make clear that if an employee takes more holiday than he or she is entitled to during the course of a leave year, the company will be entitled to recover the overpayment of holiday pay by deducting it from the employee's wages or salary. It is advisable for the company to consult with the employee before making the deduction.
If you are an employer in the Newark area we will be more than happy to provide you with assistance or any additional information required. Please contact us at Chesapeake Associates Ltd for more detailed advice on annual leave.

You are looking for a bankruptcy attorney in Fort Dodge, Iowa and probably want to find the best attorney for the most reasonable price.
When filing bankruptcy in Fort Dodge, there here are 5 attributes that we look for in bankruptcy attorneys, which are 1) Rate 2) Reviews 3) Relevance 4) Reliability, and 5) Referral. We also care about bankruptcy attorneys who offer free consultations and payment plans.
See the table below for bankruptcy lawyers servicing Fort Dodge. If you'd like to understand the all-in bankruptcy cost in Fort Dodge, we built a free qualification and cost calculator below to estimate fees. Update the zip code if you'd like to refresh the list. Please note that the phone information below will first route to Ascend, and we will check our system for available attorneys who are available for a free phone consultation before transferring you to the attorney. If you'd like to speak directly to a specific attorney below, you should be able to find that information directly on the attorney's website.
sort_num | guid | has_phone | Firm | Rating | Reviews | Relevancy | Free Consult | Payment Plans | Contact | Click to Call |
Fill out your information for the local attorney. Please note that the attorney selected may not be the one which contacts you.
Fort Dodge has a estimated population of 23888. What we found is that folks in bigger cities such as Des Moines or Cedar Rapids like to often have bankruptcy lawyers who are close by. In smaller towns with a population under 20,000, some individuals actually like to hire bankruptcy lawyers far away because of potential angst about other individuals finding out about the bankruptcy hiring.
This is why we built the zip code updater, so you can update the zip code to where you'd like to hire a bankruptcy attorney, which potentially might not be in Fort Dodge.
The bankruptcy attorney fee in Fort Dodge is often based on a number of factors. Here are some of the factors:
We had mentioned earlier the population of Fort Dodge is 23888. As such, larger cities may have higher attorney fees and smaller towns may have lower attorney fees. For example, Davenport may have a lower bankruptcy lawyer fee than Des Moines.
For example, Fort Dodge has a median household income of 40886. So, the income and general cost of living in Fort Dodge may dictate the attorney fees.
Secondly, the complexity of the case may dictate the cost of the bankruptcy. This is often the case with Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Do you own a home? Are you married? In Fort Dodge, approximately 37.9% are married. If you are married and filing with your spouse, you may have additional complexity to the case, potentially in a higher attorney cost. Secondly, are you a home owner? Approximately 60.8% of individuals in Fort Dodge own a home. With positive equity, you often check Iowa bankruptcy exemptions to determine whether you can keep the home. So, if your case in Fort Dodge is more complex, your attorney fee may be higher.
Okay, let's dive into how the type of case may result in higher or lower bankruptcy lawyer fees in Fort Dodge.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the most common bankruptcy in the United States. Of the 3,148 bankruptcies filed in Iowa, my guess is the majority of those are Chapter 7 bankruptcies.
The Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often more simple. You can get a discharge (forgiveness) of debt in as little as 120 days. There's often only one meeting and potentially less paperwork. Many people become nervous that they will lose belongings if filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but bankruptcy exemptions in Fort Dodge can help protect those assets.
As such the cost is often less. In Iowa, the estimated Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney fee is $1100 - $2800. You can use our free Fort Dodge Chapter 7 qualification and cost calculator to estimate qualification and cost.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a payment plan bankruptcy, designed for those making regular income to pay back a part of their debts. The Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often 3 or 5 years, resulting in monthly payments in coordination with the Chapter 13 Trustee in Iowa.
As such, the Chapter 13 bankruptcy is quite a bit more complex, so the estimated Chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney fee range in Iowa is $3,000. The fee may be the same across Fort Dodge because of what's called a no-look fee, which is a set rate for the reasonable fee for the service provided.
The Chapter 13 bankruptcy fee is often included in the Chapter 13 plan. Before you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may also want to consider Chapter 13 trustee fees, which is an estimated 6.70%%. You can use our free Iowa Chapter 13 Fort Dodge Chapter 13 payment plan calculator to estimate your complete Chapter 13 plan payment, which includes the estimated bankruptcy attorney fees, the trustee fees, and the disposable income calculation.
Free bankruptcy consultations are designed to help you know whether bankruptcy is the best option for you. Because you are in financial hardship, many bankruptcy attorneys offer this service to alleviate the burden of another financial expense.
You can ask questions related to bankruptcy, and you can also get an estimate of what the bankruptcy lawyer fee will be in Fort Dodge. You can also get multiple opinions via free bankruptcy consultations if you didn't jive with the attorney or you would like to discuss both types and qualification with another attorney.
Yes, many bankruptcy lawyers take a payment plan, and I would estimate that would be no different in Fort Dodge. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is already a payment plan bankruptcy, so many Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyers will take a payment upfront and then include the rest in the plan.
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, many lawyers will take payment plans, but the total attorney fee often has to be paid before filing. If an bankruptcy lawyer in Fort Dodge will only take all of the money upfront for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and not provide payment plans, you may be able to find one that does take payment plans.
Just to confirm, you may always want to check which type of bankruptcy you are filing. Some bankruptcy lawyers may offer payments plans or $0 Chapter 13 options, but those may be much more expensive in the long run than doing a payment plan upfront on a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
One of the most important attributes we look for in a bankruptcy lawyer in Fort Dodge is whether they are reliable. The reason for this is that there are certain deadlines that have to take place, and you need someone who will meet those deadlines.
Some of the ways that you can determine this is potentially through rating and reviews because that gives you insight into other clients' experiences. There are biased review sources out there, so our favorite review sites are Google ratings and reviews and Yelp ratings and reviews.
We like to sort from the lowest review descending so that you can really get a sense of whether this individual is reliable. See the image before of Ascend Bankruptcy Help's Google reviews (source), with the lowest rating descending.
Filing bankruptcy in Fort Dodge is a big decision, so it's important to have a reputable bankruptcy lawyer if you decide to hire one.
The purpose of this article was to show you top bankruptcy attorneys in Fort Dodge while providing some insights on how to find a reputable bankruptcy lawyer. For example, you may consider looking at the rate, the reviews and ratings, the reliability, the relevancy, and any referrals to decide whether to hire a bankruptcy attorney. You can also contact us at any time for specific questions about bankruptcy attorneys in Fort Dodge or take our free bankruptcy cost and qualification calculator below.

Hypospadias is a malformation that affects the urethral tube and the foreskin on a male's penis. The urethra is the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Hypospadias is a disorder in which the male urethral opening is not located at the tip of the penis. The urethral opening can be located anywhere along the urethra. Most commonly with hypospadias, the opening is located along the underside of the penis, near the tip.
Hypospadias is a congenital (present at birth) anomaly (abnormality), which means that the malformation occurs during fetal development. As the fetus develops, the urethra does not grow to its complete length. Also during fetal development, the foreskin does not develop completely, which typically leaves extra foreskin on the top side of the penis and no foreskin on the underside of the penis.
According to pediatric neurologists:
Hypospadias is a disorder that primarily affects male newborns.
Hypospadias also has a genetic component. Some fathers of males with hypospadias also have the condition.
Prematurity and low birth weight are also considered risk factors for hypospadias.
The following are the most common symptoms of hypospadias. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Abnormal appearance of foreskin and penis on exam
Abnormal direction of urine stream
The end of the penis may be curved downward
The symptoms of a hypospadias may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's physician for a diagnosis.
A physician or health care professional usually diagnoses hypospadias at birth. The malformation can be detected by physical examination.
Specific treatment for hypospadias will be determined by your baby's physician based on:
Your baby's gestational age, overall health, and medical history
The extent of the condition
Your baby's tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Hypospadias can be repaired with surgery. Usually, the surgical repair is done when your baby is between 6 and 24 months, when penile growth is minimal. At birth, your male child will not be able to undergo circumcision, as the extra foreskin may be needed for the surgical repair. The surgical repair can usually be done on an outpatient basis (and may require multiple surgeries depending on the severity).
If a hypospadias deformity is not repaired, the following complications may occur as your child grows and matures:
The urine stream may be abnormal. The stream may point in the direction of the opening, or it may spread out and spray in multiple directions.
The penis may curve as your baby grows causing sexual dysfunction later in life.
If the urethral opening is closer to the scrotum or perineum, your baby may have problems with fertility later in life.
Please consult your physician with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this condition.
