Your Answer Is Here:-
Hypospadias is a condition where the meatus isn't at the tip of the penis. Instead, the hole may be any place along the underside of the penis. The meatus (hole) is most often found near the end of the penis ("distal" position). But it may also be found from the middle of the penile shaft to the base of the penis, or even within the scrotum ("proximal" positions). Over 80% of boys with this health issue have distal hypospadias. In 15% of those cases, the penis also curves downward slightly, a condition called "chordee." When the meatus opens further down the shaft, curvature occurs in more than 50% of patients. Hypospadias is a common birth defect found in up to 1 in every 200 boys.
In most cases, hypospadias is the only developmental problem in these infants and doesn't imply there are other flaws in the urinary system or other organs.

Hypospadias is an abnormality of anterior urethral and penile development in which the urethral opening is ectopically located on the ventral aspect of the penis proximal to the tip of the glans penis, which, in this condition, is splayed open. [1] The urethral opening may be located as far down as in the scrotum or perineum. The penis is more likely to have associated ventral shortening and curvature, called chordee, with more proximal urethral defects.....

According to..
Pathophysiology
..
.Hypospadias is a congenital defect that is thought to occur embryologically during urethral development, between 8 and 20 weeks' gestation. The external genital structures are identical in males and females until 8 weeks' gestation; the genitals develop a masculine phenotype in males primarily under the influence of testosterone. As the phallus grows, the open urethral groove extends from its base to the level of the corona..

The number one sign of hypospadias is that your son’s urethra is located on the underside of his penis, as opposed to the tip. Other signs that you might see in your child include:
a downward urinary spray (in older children with more severe hypospadias, this may mean he has to sit down to urinate)
a downward curve of the penis, called “chordee”
a “hooded” appearance to the penis, caused by extra foreskin along the top side
an abnormal appearance of the tip of the penis ..
