Hypospadias

Symptoms:

  • The opening of the urethra is not at the tip of the penis but is displaced to the underside.
  • The penis has a marked curvature downward.
  • The penis looks hooded due to malformation of the foreskin.
  • The child must sit down to urinate.

Signs and tests:

Diagnosis is made on physical examination. For hypospadias occurring at the base of the penis, radiologic studies may be necessary to look for other congenital anomalies.
