Patient's question:
My baby is now 7 months old, and I want to have surgery after his first birthday. 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 urethral opening in males 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 medical treatment for hypospadias in infants, and surgical treatment is required. The surgery is divided into two stages: the first stage is from 6 months to 18 months, and the second stage is from 3 to 4 years old. The specific details need to be determined based on clinical conditions.
