Patient's question:
Hypospadias without obvious symptoms since birth. Previous treatment and outcomes: On December 4, 2009, a follow-up examination was conducted at Linfen City People's Hospital. The detailed examination results showed that the hypospadias is in what condition. I would like to ask that the child is now three years old. What is the best age for surgery? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias is a congenital abnormality of penis development, caused by varying degrees of defects in the corpus spongiosum and the anterior urethra. The main manifestations include: the urethral meatus located at any position on the scrotum or penis (except the central tip of the glans), and it may even lead to upward curvature of the penis due to incomplete development of the urethral epithelium.Guidelines: Surgical correction is the only effective treatment. Since a short urethra can cause penile curvature, the most appropriate surgical timing for children is between six months and one year.
