Hypospadias is a birth defect in boys in which the urethra, the tube that urine travels through from the bladder to outside the body, doesn't develop properly. The urethra begins as an open channel that gradually closes as the child develops. In babies born with hypospadias, the opening of the urethra forms in another location — on the shaft of the penis or on the scrotum — instead of on the tip, where it is supposed to be.
