A congenital defect in males in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip epispadia.<\/p>\n

\n

A congenital condition of the wall of the male urethra or the vagina, so that the opening occurs on the under side of the penis or in the vagina.<\/p>\n

\n

A congenital defect in which the urethra, the tube by which urine and semen pass through the penis, is misplaced. In males, the opening is found on the underside of the penis, rather than in its head, and may be associated with a downward curving of the penis, called chordee. Sometimes the urethra\u2019s opening is found on the upper surface, a condition called epispadias, often associated with an upward curving of the penis. Such conditions can be corrected during infancy, with surgical reconstruction of the urethra and penis so that the adult male will be able to direct his urine stream and have normal sexual relations. In rare cases, females may have a urethra opening into the vagina.<\/p>\n

\n

Opening of the urethra in an abnormal location on the underside of the penis.<\/p>\n

\n

Congenital defect in which the urethral opening is located on the penis ventral surface in males or within the vagina in females.<\/p>\n

\n

A developmental abnormality in males in which the urethra opens on the underside of the penis. Surgery to correct the birth defect is usually successful.<\/p>\n

\n

A congenital abnormality in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis: either on the glans penis {glandular hypospadias), at the junction of the glans with the shaft (coronal hypospadias), or on the shaft itself (penile hypospadias). All varieties can be treated surgically, and neither micturition nor sexual function need be impaired.<\/p>\n

\n

A developmental abnormality in the male, in which the urethra opens on the undersurface of the penis or in the perineum. The condition is treatable with surgery, but several operations over a period of years may be required to ensure normal urinary and sexual function.<\/p>\n

\n

An abnormal congenital opening of the male urethra upon the undersurface of the penis.<\/p>\n
