The urination situation after hypospadias is a great concern for parents, whether it is good, fine or not, and whether there is stricture …… is a consultation that will be encountered almost every day The process of urination is not significantly laborious, especially not accompanied by the phenomenon of stool, and urination is in a line, not frequently interrupted and dripping, which can be considered to be unobstructed and without stricture. It is also possible for the child to urinate frequently, sparingly, or even be incontinent within 2-3 days of extubation. This is because children are small and their own urinary regular reflexes are not fully formed, and there is also a recovery process of bladder storage and urination after a period of indwelling urinary catheter, which generally returns to normal within 1 week. Liu Yidong, Department of Urology, Shanghai Renji Hospital, it is normal for urination to become thinner after about 2 weeks of extubation. If it remains stable for a few weeks, does not become progressively thinner, and does not take much effort, there is no problem, even if the urination time is a little longer. In the early postoperative period, skewed, bifurcated and scattered urine lines are often due to the fact that the urethral canal is not smooth enough in the early postoperative period, especially when the urethral sutures have not been completely removed and absorbed. In the early postoperative period, parents may say that when they urinate, there is urine on the scrotum, but they do not know where it is “leaking” from. In fact, in many cases, this is not a leak, but rather urine going down the urethra and onto the scrotum. To distinguish a urinary fistula, you can use a cup or paper to catch the urethral opening when you urinate, so that when you finish urinating and your scrotum is not wet, it is not a leak. Postoperative dripping and wetting of the pants need to be distinguished from urethral diverticula. The latter often appears after 1-2 months after surgery and is accompanied by local dilatation of the urethra during urination, bulging, squeezing the bulge at the end of urination and urine flow, and often fishy-smelling urine due to infection. Normally, in the early postoperative period, when the urine volume is low, the urine will stay along the head of the penis, such as before the end of urination. The incidence is high especially in cases where the reconstructed urethra is long and the new urethral compliance is still in the process of formation. In the early postoperative period, a little urinary fistula, or dripping urine, many of them can heal on their own, so do not be too nervous and do not assert that “the operation has failed”. These are normal “abnormal” phenomena in the short term after surgery, so don’t worry too much about them. The surgically reconstructed urethra will also grow in tandem with the development of the penis. WeChat public platform subscription number: niaodaoxialie
