Safe and Gentle Hypospadias Treatment by Dr. Mohsin
What do you know about Hypospadias?
When the urethra (the tube that takes urine from the bladder to the outside of the body) is present on the underside of the penis rather than the tip, this condition is called hypospadias. The urethra is the tube that leads from the bladder to the end of the penis, and it is responsible for releasing urine from the body. Hypospadias is characterized by an abnormality in the formation of the distal end of the urethral tube, which can lead to the inappropriate passage of urine.

How common is Hypospadias in baby boys?
Hypospadias is a congenital disability in newborns in which the opening for urination is not at the tip of the penis. There are different degrees of severity in hypospadias, some can be minor, and some can be more severe and need surgical repair. When hypospadias is discovered in a baby, surgery can be performed when the baby is a few months old. However, laparoscopic surgery is the best way to treat this condition. When the abnormality is severe, it may be necessary to conduct an examination of your child’s urinary system to rule out any more issues.
Types of hypospadias
The types of hypospadias depend upon the location of the opening of the urethra (the tube that transfers urine from the urinary bladder to the outside of the body
- Subcoronal hypospadias; the opening is located somewhere near the head of the penis.
- Penoscrotal; the opening is present where the penis & scrotum meet.
- Midshaft; the opening is located along the shaft of the penis.
- Perineal; opening is behind the scrotal sac.
Hypospadias in baby boys can occur alone, or it can also happen with chordee and penile torsion. Boys with hypospadias face problems such as urine spraying, or they might have to sit down to urinate. In addition, hypospadias complications are associated with fertility problems later in life.
Symptoms
Hypospadias is diagnosed shortly after delivery. The foreskin is typically incomplete and shaped into a hood, and the opening is in the wrong place. However, mild forms of hypospadias in males may not cause any noticeable symptoms. The following problems may arise in your child as he matures if the hypospadias is not corrected:
- It may not be easy to control the flow of his urine.
- Difficulties in intercourse in later life may result from the penis curving as it develops.
- If his urethra opens up close to or behind his scrotum, he may have infertility issues down the road.
Causes of Hypospadias in baby boys
The condition of hypospadias is congenital. Certain hormones drive the development of the urethra and foreskin in a male fetus as the penis grows. When these hormones fail to operate appropriately, the urethra develops improperly, leading to hypospadias. The underlying cause of hypospadias is rarely identified. Also, hypospadias in baby boys can have a hereditary cause, but environmental factors have also been suggested.
Some Rare Risks After Surgery
There is always a chance for something risky during surgery. Rare though they may be, however, the potential gains from the surgery will justify the rare dangers. Particular risks that can arise with hypospadias surgery include:
- A catheter or stent will need to be left in place roughly a week after surgery in most youngsters. Bladder spasms can be a negative side effect of certain catheters. If spasms do occur, there is a medication that can help alleviate the discomfort.
- Bleeding from the penis is possible, but with some rare chances.
- There's a chance the wound won't close properly. An area of the wound could fail or, in sporadic cases, the whole thing. The original hole may become a conduit condition.
- A smaller opening from the new procedure could make urinating more of a challenge. A stricture is an extremely limited allowance.
Hypospadias Treatment
Most cases of hypospadias in baby boys need surgical repair. Ideally, we perform hypospadias repair at the age of 6-12 months. The surgery aims to place the opening for urination in the right place and close the malformed opening. If chordee and penile torsion are also diagnosed with hypospadias, ALSA Pakistan has the best pediatric surgeon for this service.
In the case of hypospadias in baby boys, we first straighten the penis (correcting chordee) and create an extension of the urethra, bringing it to the tip of the penis. Next, we use penile skin tissue to create a new urethral pathway for urination. After the surgery, the baby may need a catheter for a few days to urinate. Usually, the baby can go home the same day after the surgery.
