Hypospadias - A Defect in the Male Infants' Genital

Hypospadias is a birth defect that occurs when urethral is in irregular position. This is a condition where the bladder is exposed to the outer walls of the body. This is also known as a malformation in which urethral tube and foreskin on penis are affected.

Hypospadias is congenital; it is a birth defect which occurs during fetal maturity. When the developing fetus in the urethra doesn't mature to complete its length and the foreskin doesn't complete the development, an additional foreskin is left on the top but no foreskin on the base of penis is left.

Babies may also experience hypospadias symptoms like foreskin and penis abnormal appearance where the urine stream has an abnormal direction. In some cases, the penis is curved down. This birth defect usually affects male newborns, and new born baby boys with congenital problem like inguinal hernias or un-descended testes.

Hypospadias may be diagnosed by experts in baby's condition and this could be detected by conducting physical test. This congenital disease may also be treated and doctors may be able to figure it out through heath condition, medical histories, level of the conditions and how the babies tolerate the medications and therapies is one of the main concerns.

Typically, when the baby reaches the age of 6 to 12 months, the surgical repair may be done only if the penile growth is negligible. Male babies with this disease can't undergo circumcision.
