Hypospadias is a congenital birth defect in which the urethra, the tube that carries urine and sperm outside the body is not located in its usual position i.e. the tip of the penis, but is instead located on the underside of the penis. The exact cause of this condition is not clearly known, though increased vegetarianism and hormones present in our food are suspected to be the underlying causes. Usually it is only a developmental problem and does not necessarily indicate a problem in other urinary system. Surgery is the most common method of treatment, done usually when the boy is between the ages of 3-18 months old. 

Hypospadias is a condition in males in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis. Watch the video featuring Dr. C N Radhakrishnan to know more about Hypospadias.
