How is hypospadias treated in children?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: The penis is not unobstructed, the urethral meatus is located at the connection between the penis and scrotum. Previous Treatment and Effect: Surgery failed in May of this year. Desired Help: Seeking experts in the field of treatment for this condition.

Doctor's answer:

Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly of the lower urinary tract and external genitalia in boys. Surgical treatment is the only method for treating this condition. The goal of the surgery is to correct the curvature of the penis, position the urethral meatus as close to the normal location as possible, so that the child can stand and urinate, and the adult can have reproductive capacity. The surgery should be completed before the child starts school. If associated with penile underdevelopment, chorionic gonadotropin therapy can be administered for 1-2 courses until the penis enlarges before surgery. The actual cost of the surgery varies depending on the severity of the condition and the region.
