Hypospadias

Also known as: urethral malformation · urethral cleft · misplaced urethral opening · congenital penile malformation · genital malformation · hypospadias · displaced urethral opening · genital anomaly
Your Body Is Speaking
Hypospadias is a congenital malformation in which the opening of the urethra is not located at the tip of the penis but further down — on the underside of the shaft, sometimes even at the scrotum. It is one of the most common congenital anomalies in boys. Medically it is usually corrected surgically, often in early childhood, and the results are generally good.
But there is a level that no scalpel can reach. The question BodySignal asks is not: Why is the urethra shaped differently? But rather: What theme does a person carry who has borne a sign in their body from birth — a sign connected to structure, direction, and self-confidence?
