Does hypospadias affect a child's development?

Patient's question:

A child was born with hypospadias and underwent surgery in Shanghai 5 years ago. Due to the child's aggressive temperament, the surgery was not successful. There is now a small hole below the urethra where urine flows out, and a piece of flesh is growing larger. Please ask the doctor, what is the success rate of a second surgery? Will it affect the child's future development?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Hypospadias is a common urogenital malformation, with the main pathological changes being abnormal development of the urethral sponge and the urethral meatus located in an abnormal position. It is a common pediatric disease.
Medical Advice:
It is recommended to classify it into types such as glans type, penile type, scrotal type, and perineal type. Generally, surgical treatment is required.
