Patient's question:
My 3-year-old baby has undergone a hypospadias repair surgery. How long after the surgery can my child stop wearing open-bottom pants? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation of the male lower urinary tract and external genitalia. The urethral meatus extends from the proximal normal urethral meatus to the perineum on the ventral side of the penis. In most cases, it is 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. Children with this condition cannot be treated with medication and can only be repaired through surgery. After surgery, if there is no infection, they can wear deadpan trousers half a month later.
