Hypospadias

How is hypospadias detected?

RSS Feeds   Text 

Little baby boys pass urine like a fountain. Small lads can stand and pass urine straight with an ability to point the stream where they want, like a fire-man’s hose. This is possible because the urine comes out of the opening at the tip of the penis.


In boys with hypospadias, the opening is located on the under surface of penis. Because of this the urine is deviated downwards towards their feet. The picture shows normal arrangement and hypospadias.

In your article "However in 10% of these kids, the testis may not be descended normally. When both testes have not come down normally, they can have associated hormone defects. "
Is there any treatment (such as operation) to address it?
