What is Hypospadias?
Hypospadias is a condition where the urinary opening (urethra) is not located at the tip of the penis but along its underside. It is a common congenital condition seen in boys and is usually identified at birth.
If untreated, severe hypospadias can lead to problems with urination and, in the future, sexual function. That’s why timely treatment from an experienced pediatric urologist is essential.
Types of Hypospadias
The severity of hypospadias depends on the position of the urethral opening:
Distal Hypospadias: Opening is near the head of the penis (most common).
Midshaft Hypospadias: Opening is along the shaft.
Proximal Hypospadias: Opening is near the scrotum (severe type).
Why Early Surgery is Recommended
Dr. Prabhu recommends surgery between 6–18 months of age, as healing is faster and children adapt easily. Most of his young patients are back to normal activities within 2–3 days, with minimal discomfort.
