Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hypospadias occur when the urinary meatus is on the undersurface of the penis. Balanitis is inflammation of the glans that occurs in patients with phimosis. Phimosis is a very tight foreskin that cannot be retracted over the glans. Epispadias occur when the urinary meatus is on the upper (dorsum) surface of the penis.
