    hypospadias
    Hypospadias is a male birth defect where the opening of the urinary tract, the urethra, is not located at the tip of the penis but opens part way up. Hypospadias affects approximately 1 in every 150 to 300 male births with varying degrees of severity. Hypospadias is 21 per cent more likely to happen where another close family member has experienced the same defect.

    Treatment of Hypospadias
    Hypospadias is corrected surgically under a general anesthetic. The type of surgery depends on the severity of the condition.

    • Actually, occuring in 1 out of every 150-300 male birth makes hypospadias one of the most common birth defects. It hardly can be qualified as "rare".
