When performing a genitourinary assessment, the nurse notices that the urethral meatus is ventrally positioned. This finding is called hypospadias.
The urethral meatus is typically situated somewhat in the middle. The ventral placement of the urethral meatus is called hypospadias. Aging has no effect on the meatus' location. Phimosis is the inability of the foreskin to retract. A meatus stricture is a small aperture.
Boys with hypospadias have a birth abnormality in which the urethra's entrance is not at the tip of the genital. During weeks 8–14 of pregnancy, the urethra develops improperly in boys with hypospadias. The aberrant opening may appear anywhere between the area just below the genital's tip and the scrotum.
An infant's genital may slope downward, and the newborn may urinate spraying. To restore the appropriate flow of urine, surgical correction is frequently necessary. Typically, this happens before the age of 18 months.
