Hypospadias is a congenital abnormality of the penis in boys. It is common, occuring in 1 out of 150 - 200 boys (approx). The 3 main abnormalities in hypospadias are
1)the abnormal position of urinary meatus (opening) on the undersurface of the penis
2)abnormal bend (curvature) of the penis (called Chordee)
3)abnormal foreskin distribution on the penis (usually only half of the penis has foreskin in children with hypospadias).
