What is hypospadias

Hypospadias is an external genital malformation that occurs when the urethral groove stops closing from front to back during the embryonic period. Hypospadias

occurs mostly in boys. Hypospadias may be related to insufficient androgen secretion, insensitivity to androgens, family inheritance, exposure to toxic substances, etc. When hypospadias occurs, symptoms such as abnormal urethral meatus position, abnormal urine flow, and downward bending of the penis may occur. According to the position of the urethral opening, hypospadias can be divided into penile head type, penile type, scrotal type, and perineal type.
