Patient's question:
The baby has been three months post-surgery. It has been noticed that the baby urinates whenever it cries or immediately urinates when it feels the urge, as it cannot hold it in. I would like to ask, is it painful after hypospadias surgery in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation of the male lower urinary tract and external genitalia. The urethral meatus is located on the ventral side of the penis, near the normal proximal urethral meatus at the perineum. Most cases are accompanied by incomplete penile development. It is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the pediatric urogenital system. Hypospadias can be a single defect or a more complex issue, such as a phenotypic expression of intersex. Discomfort will inevitably occur after surgery, so it is important to observe the child's urination and wound condition to prevent infection.
