Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the urethral opening is not located at the tip of the penis. It is one of the most common birth defects in males, affecting about 1 in 250 newborn babies. Hypospadias is a birth defect in which the opening of the urethra, the tube through which urine exits the body, is not located at the tip of the penis but rather on the underside.

The main symptom of hypospadias is an abnormal opening of the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.

1. 1. A downward curve of the penis (chordee)
   2. A twisted penis
   3. A split foreskin
   4. Difficulty urinating in a straight stream

The exact cause of hypospadias is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some risk factors for hypospadias include:

1. Family history of hypospadias
2. Exposure to certain chemicals or hormones during pregnancy
3. Low birth weight

The main treatment for hypospadias is surgery. Surgery is usually performed on infants or toddlers, but it can be performed on older children or adults as well. The goal of surgery is to correct the abnormal opening of the urethra and create a more normal penis.
