Will it(Hypospadias) need to be corrected? If so, when and how?

Almost all cases of hypospadias require surgical treatment, although some of the most minor hypospadias may not require any intervention. Many pediatric urologists will recommend surgery to be performed after four months of age.

There are over two hundred described techniques that are used for hypospadia repairs. Your physician will discuss the technique that will be best suited for your son’s particular anatomy. There has been much advancement in technique over the past years, and now hypospadia repair is almost always done as a day surgery on an outpatient basis.
