    This document outlines several congenital penile abnormalities: phimosis where the foreskin is too tight; paraphimosis where the foreskin becomes trapped behind the glans; hypospadias and epispadias which are malformations of the urethral groove; and penile atrophy/agenesis where a male is born without a penis. Each condition is defined, potential causes are provided (often congenital), and outcomes are described such as risk of infection, urinary obstruction, abnormal ejaculation, or need for surgical redirection of the urethra.
