Patient's question:
The child has hypospadias and is now over 18 years old. Hello, if hypospadias is treated with surgery, what age is best for the child to undergo treatment? How long does the child need to stay in the hospital after the surgery, and what kind of help is needed: What age is best for the child to be treated for hypospadias? How long does the child need to stay in the hospital after the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Clinically, the ideal timing for hypospadias surgery is between 6 and 18 months. It will basically never affect the normal growth and development of the genitalia, and it will also never interfere with the child's mental health. For children with good penile growth, surgery can be performed around the age of one. For patients with severe hypospadias who require staged treatment, it is also recommended to start the first surgery around the age of one.
