Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias is the most common congenital anomaly of the male urinary and reproductive system. Characteristics: 1. Abnormal urethral meatus opening; 2. Penile curvature toward the ventral side; 3. Normal penile dorsal foreskin with a lack of ventral foreskin; 4. Underdeveloped corpus spongiosum, extending from the penile frenulum to the abnormal urethral meatus, forming a thick fibrous band. It is crucial to take hypospadias seriously. You should take your child to a specialized hospital for treatment as early as possible.
