chancre
the disorder is characterized by a tightening of the prepuce over the glans penis

seminoma
the congenital abnormality in which the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis instead of at the tip is called
hypospadias
symptoms of this bacterial infection include a burning sensation during urination and discharge from the penis
