When is the right time to perform surgery for hypospadias in children?

Patient's question:

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

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 urinary system malformation in children. It causes abnormal urethral meatus position, penile curvature, urinary abnormalities, and sexual dysfunction, all of which require surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is to restore the penis's urination and sexual function. If the symptoms are not completely improved, it is recommended to have another surgery at the age of three or four.
