Hypospadias is a birth defect of the urethra in the male that involves an abnormally placed urethral meatus (opening).
Instead of opening at the tip of the glans of the penis, a hypospadic urethra opens anywhere along a line (the urethral groove) running from the tip along the underside (ventral aspect) of the shaft to the junction of the penis and scrotum or perineum.
A distal hypospadias may be suspected even in an uncircumcised boy from an abnormally formed foreskin and downward tilt of the glans.

Anteriorly, the fibrous bands present on the ventral surface are excised, at the same time isolating the hypospadic urethral meatus and the distal portion of the urethra from the corpora cavernosa.
The hypospadic meatus, suitably remodeled, is fixed to the ventral penile fascia to avoid its retraction.
The flap is tubularized on a catheter and then rotated and sutured to the hypospadic meatus in such a way that the suture line of the neo-urethra lies over the corpora cavernosa.

 Metabolism of androstenedione in skin and serum levels of gonadotrophins and androgens in prepubertal boys with ...
Mild forms of hypospadias in the age group 1--4 years had a higher level of 5alpha-reductase activity in the prepuce than controls in the same age group (P less than 0.05); no such differences were found in the few severe cases of hypospadias in this group.
The ratio of 5alpha-reductase activity in the prepuce: 5alpha-reductase activity in skin from the arm was significantly higher (P less than 0.05) in hypospadic boys than in controls in the age group 1--4 years.
Serum levels of LH and FSH were the same in normal and hypospadic boys but the concentration of prolactin in the serum was lower in boys with hypospadias compared with control subjects in the age group 1--4 years (P less than 0.005).

No difference in 5 alpha-reductase activity (defined as the sum of these three metabolites formed) was found in scrotal skin from hypospadic and control men.
The mean concentration of 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone in serum from men with hypospadias was lower than that in serum from control subjects (P less than 0.01).
The mean ratio of the serum concentrations of testosterone and 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone was higher in hypospadic men than in control subjects (P less than 0.05).

 Pediatric Management of Ambiguous and Traumatized GenitaliaENITALIA
These cases were typically individual reports in the literature that told of XY individuals who were somehow reared as girls, usually due to some hypospadic condition leading to a misassignment as females or to being assigned as females due to micropenis or traumatic loss of the penis.
The hypospadic condition was repaired and her psychological adjustment to the change was appropriate.
Three of these individuals had multiple surgical repairs done to fashion an appropriate penis from a hypospadic condition; the surgery done without their permission or knowledge as to what was to take place.

This was compounded by parents, who even today, find it a subject they do not wish to discuss, preferring to bury their heads in the sand.
I was born with both male and female genitalia, albeit with a hypospadic micro-penis.
I had major surgeries and plastic surgery throughout my childhood as such that my abiding memories of childhood revolve around catheterisation and a penis that more resembled a hedgehog with quills made of sharp nylon stitches that made a habit of snagging in clothing, bedding and generally anywhere that could cause me discomfort!.

It is apparent when patients with androgen insensitivity (Chromosomally 'XY' with apparently female genitalia) also have their phalloclits amputated or entirely removed: in such patients the phallus is deemed too small to be 'properly' male but too large to be appropriate for a woman.
Finally, it is apparent when a genetic male, with functioning testes and a fully formed penis is diagnosed as 'intersexed' because he has a hypospadic (i.e.
I have little direct knowledge of this person's medical history but it appears, from his description of his surgeries and the fact that urologists did them, that he probably had a hypospadic, or "female", urethra -- that is, one that exits the body closer to the base than to the tip of the penis.

 The psychological implications of hypospadias
The appearance of a hypospadic penis may be rather different to that of a 'normal' penis (Baskin, 2000; Sheldon and Duckett, 1987).
In the case of a hypospadic penis, the urethral plate represents an important anatomic entity: it is a smooth urethral mucosa of variable dimensions which extends from the hypospadic meatus as far as the glans (Perovic et al., 1999).
Anatomical studies have demonstrated that its use works well in the fabrication of a neo-urethra: this structure is free from hair, is richly vascularised and nerve-free, and it possesses good muscular and connective tissue components (Erol, Baskin, Li and Liu, 2001).

 Intersex Community Forums | Bodies Like Ours - Definitions and some interesting insights
Hypospadius for instance was discussed and those docs in favor of ending all cosmetic surgeries or those done with a social justification (i.e.---so the boy can stand to pee or have functional penetrative intercourse for the sake of reproduction) felt it is an IS condition.
Those who went on the side of caution with the point that there are varying degrees said only some hypospadic males have an IS condition.
The commonality was the agreement that surgery that is being done for social reasons alone (and most IS surgeries are done simply for social reasons) were IS related, with some more-so than others.
