Patient's question:
My baby is now 7 months old. I want to have the surgery after turning one year old. I'm very worried. Is this kind of surgery common where we live? Do we need to wait in line? Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Hello. Hypospadias is a congenital defect in which the male urethral opening is abnormal. The urethral opening can be distributed along a straight line from the normal urethral opening to the perineum. In most cases, the penis may bend towards the abdomen. There is no special medication for hypospadias in infants. Surgical treatment is required. The surgery is divided into two stages. The first stage is from 6 months to 18 months. The second stage is from 3 to 4 years old. The specific situation needs to be determined based on clinical conditions.
