Epispadias - what does this mean
Epispadias is a congenital disorder in which the opening of the urethra is located on the upper surface of the penis instead of at the tip. this happens when the lower tissues of the penis fail to completely close during fetal development. it is often accompanied by other abnormalities of the genitalia.
What happens during the disease - epispadias
Epispadias is a congenital condition caused by a defect in the formation of the urethral plate, which is the tissue that forms the urethra. this defect results in the urethral opening being located on the upper surface of the penis instead of at the tip. in some cases, the urethral opening may extend to the scrotum or even the perineum. the underlying cause of epispadias is unknown, but it is thought to be related to genetic and environmental factors.
