What is perineal hypospadias?

In hypospadias, the penile fascia and skin fail to develop normally in the ventral side of the penis during 8-14 weeks of gestation. Hypospadias can be formed when the urethral sulcus is not fully fused. At the same time, the urethral cavernous body is also underdeveloped. The cord shape is formed at the distal end of the hypospadias, which can lead to the curvature of the penis.

The external orifice of urethra is located in the perineum, the scrotum is divided, the penis is short and curved, so it is often misdiagnosed as female. In recent years, the method of classification according to the retraction position of urethral orifice after correction of penile curvature has been accepted by many doctors.

Children with severe hypospadias often have other associated malformations, including cryptorchidism, inguinal hernia, hydrocele, prostatic sac, penile scrotal transposition, penile torsion, penile, repeated urethra, etc. a few patients can be combined with anorectal malformations.
