Epispadias is a rare congenital (present from birth) defect located at the opening of the urethra. In this condition, the urethra does not develop into a full tube and the urine exits the body from an abnormal location.
It causes
Backward flow of urine into the kidney (reflux nephropathy)
Short, widened penis with an abnormal curvature
Urinary tract infections
I recommend consultation with urologist and get the these tests
Blood test to check electrolyte levels
Intravenous pyelogram (IVP), a special x-ray of the kidneys, bladder, and ureters
Ultrasound of the urogenital system
Treatment depends on the cause.
