Patient's question:
My child has hypospadias. Not long ago, we had surgery for him in our local area. But now, the child has developed a urinary fistula again. Hello, what should we do now? Was the surgery successful? What kind of help do we need: How to solve the post-urethral surgery urinary leakage? Was the surgery successful?Doctor's answer:
Once a urethral fistula reappears, do not panic. Some fistulas can be cured. Especially urethral fistulas at the base of the penis, as this area is rich in tissue. On the contrary, fistulas at the coronal sulcus are not easy to heal on their own because the tissue there is very weak. If a small fistula reappears, especially at the base of the penis, measures such as sitz baths, topical cod liver oil, and protecting the fistula to prevent urethral stricture can be taken. If it does not heal within 1 to 2 months, it is unlikely to be cured, and a supplementary repair surgery should be performed after one year.
