1.Is a child with hypospadias? A: The easiest way to tell: abnormal penis shape, abnormal urethral opening, unable to urinate like a normal boy, or even squatting to urinate. There are also rare cases where the foreskin is normal in appearance and is only discovered by the doctor when circumcision is performed. 2.Does all hypospadias require surgery? A: No. Not all hypospadias require surgery. For some mild cases, where the penis is normal in shape and the opening of the urethra is only slightly downward, and does not affect the child’s ability to urinate or function in the future, surgery may not be necessary. 3.What special care should I pay attention to in general? A: Generally, there is no need to pay special attention to anything, normal care can be, but for some heavy, because the penis foreskin easy to contaminate infection, usually need to pay attention to good cleaning. 4.What do I need to prepare for the hospital examination before surgery? A: No need to prepare anything in particular, just bring the children over and take care of them on the way and don’t catch cold. 5.Is it better to do the surgery as soon as possible? A: The earlier the surgery is done, the better. The timing of surgery is mainly based on the type of hypospadias and the development of the penis. The lighter the hypospadias, the earlier the age of surgery; the better the development of the penis, the earlier the age of surgery. You can’t have one without the other. The basic age is between 6 months and 2 years old, usually no more than 3 years old. 6.Why don’t we do it at a younger age, it will develop better and the surgery will be better? A: Hypospadias, because of the shape of the penis, abnormal urination, and even combined with other deformities, can easily cause psychological shadows in children after they understand, leading to serious psychological complications such as low self-esteem and autism. Therefore, we try to complete the surgery before the child understands. 7.Is the surgery done at once? A: No, it is not. For different types of hypospadias, the surgery is staged differently. The more severe the hypospadias, the more likely it is that the surgery will be done in stages. The purpose of staging the surgery is to ensure success and better results, and not to force the parents to take risks in order to take care of their wish for one surgery. 8.Is there no problem after the surgery? A: It is important to pay attention to clean wound care after surgery. The most common complication of hypospadias is urinary fistula, and this can be solved by just repairing it again after six months. However, the most feared complication is urethral stricture, and if it occurs, it needs to be repeatedly dilated or even reoperated again. 9.Will it have a big impact on my life after I grow up and get married? A: A successful hypospadias surgery solves the problem of urination and then the problem of appearance of the child. However, it is impossible to judge the impact on the life after marriage, and it is more complicated if it is combined with endocrine abnormalities. Therefore, regular review is very necessary.
