What to do if a child has congenital hypospadias

There are two main ways to control the disease, one is congenital and the other is acquired. The congenital one may be related to genes, or it may be caused by the parents' inattention during the development of the fetus. Congenital hypospadias in children is a common disease among children and requires surgical treatment. Here we will introduce what to do with congenital hypospadias in children.

Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation, which is divided into four types: balanoid hypospadias, penile hypospadias, scrotal hypospadias, and perineal hypospadias. The latter three types can affect sexual function and normal urination position, while the first type does not require surgery.

The latter three types of hypospadias require plastic surgery to restore normal standing urination and sexual intercourse in adulthood. The surgery should be performed before school age and can be completed in one stage or in stages depending on the extent. (Some patients with undescended testicles or inguinal hernias should also undergo corresponding surgery. For children under one year old, the testicles may descend on their own. After one year old, they can be treated with drugs within two years old, and after two years old, surgery can be performed.)

After the operation, you need to pay attention to the details of your daily life. This type of operation is not a major operation, and the chance of success is very high (only for some children with severe deformities, the operation process may be more complicated). You can rest assured that this type of operation will not affect your future life.

The above is the solution to the surgical treatment of this condition. It is not suitable for babies to undergo surgical treatment right after they are born, so it is most effective to wait until they are a little older and before they become adults. In addition, children should also develop good living habits and pay attention to their own hygiene.
