Hypospadias must be done as soon as possible, once found to be timely surgery**, there are many surgical methods, the standard of hypospadias is that the urethral opening is located in the head position, the lower curvature is completely corrected, the appearance is close to normal to be able to stand and urinate, and adults can have a normal sexual life. In fact, the medical community has long concluded on the timing of hypospadias surgery: theoretically, 3-18 months is the first period for hypospadias surgery, and it should not exceed 3 years old. During this period, as long as the child's developmental level meets the surgical criteria and there is enough tissue for repair, the operation can be performed.

For hypospadias patients, if the initial surgery is unsuccessful, it will not only bring the risk of reoperation to the patient, causing secondary damage to the body and mind, but also have to bear the cost of the second operation again, which will increase the economic burden. In more serious cases, it may be that the success of the initial operation is not grasped, which will increase the difficulty of reoperation, resulting in an irreversible outcome, and no matter how much money is spent, it will not help.

What happens if hypospadias doesn't?

1. Affect the normal urination function: because hypospadias patients are tortuous, they cannot be lifted normally, so it will affect the normal urination of the patient and bring inconvenience to the patient's daily life.

2. Affected sex days: Because the patient's ** is in a tortuous condition for a long time, he cannot straighten, so he cannot carry out normal sex days. Over time, it will cause the patient to have a psychological shadow, and even damage the quality of the sexual life between the husband and wife, leading to the breakup of the family.

3. Affect male fertility: hypospadias will seriously affect the patient's sexual life, because the patient can not have a normal sexual life, so it will not be able to transport sperm to the woman's uterus, and then cause the onset of male infertility.
