A deformity of the penis, in which the urethra opens upon its under surface.
displaced urethral opening; in the male, it may be on the underside of the penis, at the penoscrotal junction, between the scrotal folds, or in the perineum; in the female, the urethra opens into the vagina
a development anomaly of the penis in which the urethra opens on the underside of the penis.
this is not part of the exstrophy/epispadias complex. Hypospadias is a very common birth defect in males, occurring up to eight per 1000 live births. In hypospadias, the urethra is not at the tip of the penis but is somewhere on the bottom of the penis and can be anywhere from near the anus, on the perineum, in the scrotum, at the base of the penis, on the midshaft of the penis, or even slightly off the mark on the tip of the penis.
an abnormal condition in males in which the urethra opens on the under surface of the penis
A birth defect in which the urethra (channel from the bladder through which urine is excreted) may be open on the undersurface of the penis.
birth defect of the penis where the urinary opening is misplaced (on the shaft or in the scrotum in the more serious forms).
A condition in which the urethra opens onto the under side of the shaft of the penis instead of at the tip of the glans. A boy with hypospadias should not be circumcised until after the hypospadias has been assessed by a urologist and any corrective action taken. This is because tissue from the foreskin is normally used in the repair. The urologist can complete the circumcision at the end of the repair operation..
A birth defect found in boys in which the urinary tract opening is not located properly at the tip of the penis.
An abnormality in which the urethra opens on the underside of the penis. This condition may prevent the semen from being deposited into the female reproductive tract during intercourse.
common condition whereby the opening of the urethra is not normally positioned at the tip of the penis.
congenital defect in which the urinary meatus (urinary outlet) is on the underside of the penis or on the perineum (area between the genitals and the anus). The urinary sphincters are not defective so incontinence does not occur. The condition may be surgically corrected if needed for cosmetic, urologic, or reproductive reasons. The corresponding defect in women is rare. See also epispadias
displacement of urethral opening from the tip to the ventral side of the phallus.
A malformation of the penis in which the urethral opening is found on the underside rather than at the tip of the penis.
A congenital defect of the penis where the urethra is not at the tip of the penis, but rather in the shaft. Corrected surgically.
A birth defect in which a boy's urethra, through which urine and semen pass, opens on the underside of the penis rather than at the end. Almost always correctable with surgery.
a birth defect in which the male urethral (urine tube) opening is not located at the tip of the penis.
A birth defect in which the opening of the urethra, called the urinary meatus, is on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip.
A problem in development of the urethra that results in the opening (urethral meatus) being located on the underside ( ventral surface) of the penis. On occasion, this opening is also in the perineum. In some instances, the opening is a large slit, running to the point where the urethral meatus would normally be located.
A congenital deformity in which the urethra opens on the lower surface of the penis.
Hypospadias is a birth defect of the urethra in the male that involves an abnormally placed urethral meatus (opening). Instead of opening at the tip of the glans of the penis, a hypospadic urethra opens anywhere along a line (the urethral groove) running from the tip along the underside (ventral aspect) of the shaft to the junction of the penis and scrotum or perineum. A distal hypospadias may be suspected even in an uncircumcised boy from an abnormally formed foreskin and downward tilt of the glans.
