hypospadias
Quick Summary
Hypospadias is a congenital abnormality of the penis where the urethra opens on the undersurface, rather than at the tip. This condition is more common in males and can be associated with other genitourinary defects, such as a downward curvature of the penis. While the posterior part of the urethra is typically unaffected, allowing for normal urinary control, the meatus (opening) is often narrowed. This condition is generally correctable through surgery.12
