The most common reasons are as follows:
-It may be present from birth. The prophet, called hypospadias, may be circumcised, or there may be only obliquity without hypospadias.
-It may occur after a fall or a penis fracture during sexual intercourse. Patients with this condition have swollen, painful and purple penises after trauma.
-It may be associated with hypospadias.
