Q55: Other congenital malformations of male genital organs
Conditions falling under the category of "Other congenital malformations of male genital organs" refer to a group of disorders that are present at birth and impact the structure and function of the male reproductive system. These abnormalities can affect various parts of the male genital organs, including the testes, penis, and urethra, among others. Some of the conditions in this group are cryptorchidism (undescended testes), chordee (curvature of the penis), and hypospadias (displacement of urethra's opening). These disorders can result from a variety of causes, often related to genetic abnormalities or disruptions during fetal development. Common symptoms may include abnormal appearance of the male genital organs, urinary difficulties, and potential challenges with fertility or sexual function. While the exact trajectory of these conditions can vary, many can be hadled or corrected with medical or surgical intervention. In some cases, these conditions may cause no symptoms and may only be discovered during a routine medical examination.
