==Overview==
Mild hypospadias most often occurs as an isolated birth defect without detectable abnormality of the remainder of the reproductive or endocrine system. However, a minority of infants, especially those with more severe degrees of hypospadias will have additional structural anomalies of the genitourinary tract. Up to 10% of boys with hypospadias have at least one undescended [[testis]], and a similar number have an [[inguinal hernia]]. An enlarged [[prostatic utricle]] is common when the hypospadias is severe (scrotal or perineal), and can predispose to [[urinary tract infection]]s, pseudo-[[urinary incontinence|incontinence]], or even [[urolithiasis|stone]] formation.

Prognosis

Results after surgery are typically good. In some cases, more surgery is needed to correct fistulas or a return of the abnormal penis curve.

Complications

If hypospadias is untreated, a boy may have difficulty with toilet training and problems with sexual intercourse in adulthood. Urethral strictures and fistulas may form throughout the boy's life, requiring surgery.
