Conditions known as Hypospadias and Epispadias
Definition: Congenital anomaly causing the urethral opening to be located abnormally on the underside (hypospadias) or top side (epispadias) of the penis; often linked with undescended testicles and abnormalities in the urinary system (bladder exstrophy).
Clinical symptoms: Obstruction of the urinary tract and abnormal ejaculation.
Phimosis is the condition when the foreskin is abnormally tight and cannot be pulled back over the head of the penis. It is typically caused by a congenital issue or can occur from inflammation or injury.
Clinical symptoms: Manifests as pain in the penis or sudden inability to urinate.
Peyronie's disease is characterized by the development of fibrous scar tissue on the dorsum of the penis, with the cause being unknown.
Clinical symptoms: Abnormal bending of the penis or narrowing of the urethra that happens in elderly males.
Balanitis is the inflammation of the glans penis, typically caused by various infections such as syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes, chancroid, Candida, and Gardnerella.
Clinical symptoms: Penile infections are more common in uncircumcised men who have inadequate hygiene.
