When is the right time to perform surgery for pediatric hypospadias?

Patient's question:

Description of the condition (main symptoms, onset time): Wetting of the urethra. Treatment history and effectiveness: Last March, I had surgery at Guangzhou Children's Hospital. However, the foreskin is still low and still wet. What help do you need: I want to ask how I should do now for the child's best interest!

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias is a congenital malformation of the urethral meatus in males. The urethral meatus can be distributed along a straight line from the normal urethral meatus to the perineum. In most cases, the penis is curved ventrally. Hypospadias is a common urological malformation in children. It can cause abnormal urethral meatus position, penile curvature, urinary abnormalities, and sexual dysfunction. Surgical treatment is required. Surgical treatment aims to restore urinary and sexual function of the penis. If symptoms are not completely improved, it is recommended to have another surgery around the age of three or four.
