WHAT DOES HYPOSPADIAS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hypospadias

Hypospadias /haɪpoʊˈspeɪdɪəs/ is a birth defect of the urethra in the male that involves an abnormally placed urinary meatus. Instead of opening at the tip of the glans of the penis, a hypospadic urethra opens anywhere along a line running from the tip along the underside of the shaft to the junction of the penis and scrotum or perineum. A distal hypospadias may be suspected in an uncircumcised boy from an abnormally formed foreskin and downward tilt of the glans. The urethral meatus opens on the underside of the glans penis in about 50–75% of cases; these are categorized as first degree hypospadias. Second degree, and third degree occur in up to 20 and 30% of cases respectively. The more severe degrees are more likely to be associated with chordee, in which the phallus is incompletely separated from the perineum or is still tethered downwards by connective tissue, or with undescended testicles.

Definition of hypospadias in the English dictionary

The definition of hypospadias in the dictionary is a congenital condition in which the opening of the urethra is situated on the underside of the penis instead of at its tip.
