Hypospadias, perineal - what does this mean

What happens during the disease - hypospadias, perineal

Hypospadias, perineal is a congenital condition caused by the incomplete closure of the urethra during fetal development. this incomplete closure results in the urethral opening being located on the underside of the penis instead of the tip. this condition is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as exposure to certain hormones or medications during pregnancy. the abnormal location of the urethral opening can cause difficulty with urination, and may lead to urinary tract infections and other complications.
