What to do if your newborn has hypospadias

Newborn, what a beautiful word. The arrival of this little life makes many parents feel happy and relieved. However, after the joy, they find that the baby has congenital deformities, which makes parents feel distressed. How can the baby have a healthier future without worries? This requires parents to make timely choices. Some newborns with hypospadias may need surgery to treat it.

The main factors affecting the surgical treatment time of neonatal hypospadias are as follows:

1. The psychological impact of hypospadias on children. Taking this into account, surgery should be performed before the child has any memory.

2. The impact of children with hypospadias on society. Taking this into account, the surgery should be done before entering nursery school or kindergarten.

3. If the penis of a child with hypospadias is too small, the difficulty of surgery and the failure rate of surgery will increase.

4. Children aged 1-2 years old have high levels of growth hormone in their bodies, active anabolism, fast healing of surgical incisions, and a high success rate of surgery.

5. The impact of anesthesia safety on surgery for children with hypospadias. Anesthesia is relatively safe for children over 6 months old, but an anesthesiologist with experience in pediatric anesthesia should be selected.

Therefore, 6 to 18 months is the golden period for hypospadias surgery, but if the child's penis is developed enough and there is enough tissue for repair, surgery can be performed.

For parents, it is a painful thing to let their baby undergo surgery at such a young age. However, if you want your baby to have a better future, you still need to make a decision as early as possible so that you can have a better recovery. You have to know that this is love for the child and will give him a healthier body.
