Question
Does pediatric urethral fission surgery hurt?
Answer
Urethral fission in children is a congenital anomaly of the male reproductive system. Early detection and early surgical treatment yield better results. Since general anesthesia is administered during the surgery, there is no significant pain. However, there may be regional pain after the operation, which will gradually decrease over time. But once urethral fission is detected, timely surgical treatment should be sought, and surgery can be performed around the age of two to reduce tolerance to pain. Adequate hydration, cleaning the urethra, maintaining a regular diet, eating light, enhancing nutrition, and consuming vitamins and trace elements are recommended. It is suggested to undergo detailed examination and scheduled surgery at a local standard three-level A comprehensive children’s hospital urology department.
