Chemical exposure in pregnancy linked to birth defect? new study investigates

This study looks at whether chemicals found in everyday products (called endocrine disruptors) increase the chance of a baby boy being born with hypospadias, a condition where the opening of the urethra is not at the tip of the penis. Researchers will compare 100 mothers of boys with hypospadias to 100 mothers of boys without it. They will test hair samples and use questionnaires to measure chemical exposure during pregnancy, aiming to better understand and prevent this condition.
