How does epispadias affect males?

A baby boy with epispadias has:

• A penis that’s short, wide and curves up, called dorsal chordee.
• A meatus (me-ATE-us) on top of the penis rather than at the tip. The meatus is the hole or opening of the urethra. With epispadias, a deep groove often runs between the meatus and tip of the penis.
