It is a pathological condition where male sex characteristics, such as the development of male sex organs, (for example the penis and the vas deferens) form in female gastropods.The penis growth of imposex female dog whelks blocks the oviduct, although ovule production continues. An imposex female dog whelk passes through several stages of penis growth, before it is unable to contain its constant production of ovules. Later stages of imposex can lead to the sterility and premature death of the females, affecting the entire population.
