Question
My baby is now 7 months old. I plan to have the surgery done after he turns one. I’m very worried. How many of these surgeries are performed in our area? Do we need to wait on a waiting list? Thank you very much!
Answer
Hypospadias is a congenital defect in the opening of the male urethra, and most patients require surgical treatment. The surgery is typically divided into two phases, the first phase from 6 to 18 months, and the second phase from 3 to 4 years old. The specific situation needs to be determined based on clinical conditions. As for the frequency of these surgeries performed in your area and the waiting list situation, it is recommended to consult local medical institutions for accurate information.
