Question

My child has a mild congenital urethral cleft; I would like to consult on what should be done?

Answer

Urethral cleft refers to the opening of the urethra on the dorsal side of the penis, which is usually caused by congenital factors. As children enter puberty, their reproductive systems grow and develop, gradually causing urinary disturbances. Therefore, early treatment is necessary. For children with congenital urethral cleft, surgical treatment is an excellent recovery method, and the earlier the surgery is understood, the more beneficial it is for the child, with surgical costs within tens of thousands of yuan. The harm of pediatric urethral cleft to children is significant; it is recommended that family members take their child to a specialized clinic for re-examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, you can give your child some juice to aid digestion and vitamin absorption, prevent stomachaches, and hope that the child can recover quickly!
