Question
Could frequent urination in newborns be related to congenital urethral opening or spina bifida?
Answer
Hypospadias is a congenital abnormality of the male urethra, with the urethral opening potentially located along a line from the normal position to the perineum, and most patients may have an abnormally curved penis on the ventral side. According to the described situation, it should be congenital spina bifida, which may lead to symptoms such as bedwetting or enuresis in infants. If the infant’s symptoms are severe, surgical treatment should be considered. If there are no obvious symptoms, no special treatment is usually required.
