'''Congenital anomaly of the genitalia''' is a medical term referring to any physical abnormality of the male or female internal or external genitalia present at birth. This is a broad category of conditions, some common and some rare.
==Causes==
Some result from excessive or deficient [[androgen]] effect, others result from [[teratogen]]ic effects, or are associated with [[birth defect|anomalies]] of other parts of the body in a recognizable pattern (i.e., a [[syndrome]]). The cause of many of these [[birth defect]]s is unknown. Some simply represent the extremes of the normal range of size for body parts.
==Examples==
*[[ambiguous genitalia]]
*[[undescended testes]]
*[[hypospadias]]
*[[chordee]]
*[[micropenis]]
*[[clitoromegaly]]
*[[aphallia]]
*[[diphallia]]
*[[cloacal exstrophy]]
*[[bladder exstrophy]]
*[[imperforate hymen]]
*[[mullerian agenesis]]
