Question
My baby is now 11 months old and has been diagnosed with hypospadias, with an opening on the side of the penis that leaks urine. Is this condition easy to treat? What is the best way to treat it?
Answer
Hypospadias is a congenital condition passed on from the mother to the child. Based on the description, your child may have a penile-type hypospadias, which falls under moderate symptoms. The only current treatment for hypospadias is surgical. Additionally, proper home care is crucial, including regular routines, keeping warm, eating a light diet, ensuring good ventilation in the environment, and drinking plenty of water to prevent the condition from recurring.
