hypospadias congenital opening of the male urethra on the
undersurface of the penis resulting in urinary tract
obstruction and an increased risk for urinary tract
infections
1/300 births
,epispadias congenital defect in which the urinary meatus is
located on the upper surface of the penis, less
common than hypospadias
balanitis local inflammation of glans penis and the foreskin
(prepuce) due to poor hygiene in uncircumcised males;
caused by accumulation of fungi, bacteria, sweat
phimosis a condition in which the prepuce cannot be retracted
easily over the glans penis, may be congenital
cryptorchidism failure of testicular descent into the scrotum;
undescended testis becomes atrophied
bilateral cryptorchidism results in sterility
,testicular torsion twisting of the spermatic cord causing decreased
blood flow to the testis
typically is seen in adolescence and manifests with the
sudden onset of testicular pain
urologic emergency! requires immediate surgical
correction
associated with cryptorchidism
