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 queue for it? Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Hello. Hypospadias is a congenital defect in which the male urethral opening is located 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 specific medical treatment 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 details need to be determined based on clinical conditions.
