Hypospadias
photo by Janelle Aby, MD
Hypospadias is a condition in which the urethral meatus is displaced from its normal position to an ectopic position along the ventral surface of the penile glans or shaft. It is typically associated with a hooded foreskin which allows the glans to be partially visible. The term "natural circumcision", though sometimes used, is a misnomer. The foreskin is present, just malformed. The incidence is estimated at 1:250 newborn boys.
