History and Symptoms

The condition varies in severity. In most cases, the opening of the urethra is located near the tip of the penis on the underside. More severe forms of hypospadias occur when the opening is at the midshaft or base of the penis. Occasionally, the opening is located in or behind the scrotum.

Males with this condition often have a downward curve (ventral curvature or chordee) of the penis during an erection. (Erections are common with infant boys.)

Other symptoms include:

• Abnormal spraying of urine
• Having to sit down to urinate
• Malformed foreskin that makes the penis look "hooded"
