11-month-old infant, hypospadias, when is the appropriate time for surgery

Patient's question:

Never been to the hospital

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias is a common urinary system malformation where the development of the anterior urethra is incomplete, leading to the urethral meatus not reaching its normal position. The urethral meatus may appear between the normal urethral meatus and the perineum, such as being located on the ventral side of the penis, in the scrotum, or in the perineum. It is often accompanied by penile curvature. Currently, there is no clear method or medication for preventing hypospadias. The appropriate surgical timing should be selected for the surgery.
