Congenital malformations of male sex organs
Congenital malformations, such as hypospadias (birth defect of the penis) and cryptorchidism (non-descending testes), are increasing or levelling off at unfavourably high levels.
As many as one in 15 boys are born with cryptorchidism ; annual cases of cryptorchidism have doubled in 10 years.
