Hypospadias treatment for a 3-year-old: Is pediatric urology surgery necessary?

Hello Nirma Ji,

Hypospadias is typically corrected through surgery, which is often best performed between 6 months and 18 months of age. However, surgery can still be successful if done later, and your son’s age is still within an acceptable range for treatment. Pediatric urology surgeons are highly specialized in performing this procedure on young children.

The surgery involves reconstructing the urethra to place the opening at the correct position on the penis. This procedure is usually done under general anaesthesia, and most children can go home the same day. Recovery typically involves a few weeks, during which the child may have a small tube (catheter) to assist with urination while healing, along with some mild restrictions on activities to prevent strain on the surgical site.
