Patient's question:
Male patient, 7 years oldDoctor's answer:
Hypospadias, due to chronic stimulation from urine and smegma over a long period, can induce balanoposthitis, causing swelling, congestion, erosion of the preputial mucosa, repeated cross-infection, and even phimosis. If not treated promptly, the inflammation may ascend along the reproductive tract, leading to inflammation of the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis, etc. I believe everyone knows that phimosis and paraphimosis cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light meals and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
