This is a condition that is specific for boys. The anomaly is always present from birth, and in most cases is without any symptoms till about 2 - 3 years. In this anomaly, the external urinary meatus is not at the tip of the penis as is normal. The meatus is on
the underside of the penis and can be seen at various sites - just below the normal site; in the shaft of the penis; at the junction of the penis and the scrotum; or even at the base of the scrotum. This abnormality should be easily noticed by the parents and a doctor must be consulted.

Difficulty in Passing Urine
The parents in younger children may notice this or the older ones may be able to vocalize and tell their parents. The boy may be straining to pass urine, have a thin stream of urine, which may fall close to his feet. The child may cry when passing urine, may pull at the penile skin after passing urine, or have a habit of rubbing the penile tip skin off and on.
During the course of the day the parents may notice that the child continuously has his hand on his penis. All these are signs of irritation, infection, inflammation of the prepucial skin, which is long standing. The parent may notice a ballooning of the prepucial skin before the urine stream comes out.
