Question
Can a newborn’s hypospadias be cured?
Answer
Surgical treatment is the only method for treating a newborn’s hypospadias. The purpose of this surgery is to correct the downward curvature of the penis, bringing the urethral opening as close to the normal position as possible, allowing the child to urinate standing up and have reproductive capability as an adult. It is recommended to complete the surgery before the age of school entry.
