Patient's question:
The baby with hypospadias is now 3 years old. When he was born, the doctor recommended surgery between 2-3 years old. Hello, can the surgery be performed now? What kind of help is needed: When is the best time for surgery for a child with hypospadias?Doctor's answer:
In fact, with the advancement of science and technology, the accumulation of experience, and the reduction in technical requirements, the timing of hypospadias surgery is no longer significantly affected by age. The earlier the hypospadias surgery is performed, the better. It is recommended to complete the surgery before the child starts school, as growth and development during puberty can greatly increase the difficulty of the surgery. Performing the surgery before the child becomes rebellious can prevent interference with the child's mental health and can also alleviate the anxiety of parents at an early stage.
