Hypospadias Specialists in Telangana

Is hypospadias hereditary?

A family history of hypospadias does raise the risk in male relatives, suggesting a genetic contribution, though the exact cause in an individual case is often unclear.

At what age is hypospadias usually repaired?

Surgery is typically performed between six and eighteen months of age, a timing chosen to balance tissue development with minimizing the child's memory of the procedure.

Can circumcision be done before hypospadias surgery?

No, circumcision should be delayed until after surgical evaluation and repair, since the foreskin tissue is often needed by the surgeon to reconstruct the urethra.

Will my son have normal urination and sexual function after surgery?

The large majority of boys who have surgery in infancy go on to have normal urinary function and appearance, with sexual function typically unaffected in adulthood.

Does hypospadias mean there's a bigger underlying problem?

In most cases it's an isolated finding, but more severe or proximal hypospadias, especially with undescended testes, occasionally warrants additional evaluation to rule out a broader hormonal or genetic condition.
