My 4-year-old son was diagnosed with glandular hypospadias, chordee, and a tight urethral opening doctors recommended surgery but I'm worried about risks and recovery. What should I expect with his condition and the procedure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Hypospadias surgery, while generally successful, carries potential risks and a recovery period that can be a bit challenging. Your son's condition, including glandular hypospadias, chordee, and a tight urethral opening, will be addressed with surgery, which may involve moving the urethral opening to its proper location and releasing the chordee, a downward curve of the penis. The recovery period typically includes pain management, potential catheter use, and follow-up appointments. While the procedure is generally safe and the surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis, complications like scarring, infection, or urethral narrowing can occur, though they are generally rare

View allI'm having a problem where my foreskin doesn't stretch properly because it never did from childhood. This makes sex really painful for me. I'm really worried and unsure about what to do. Can you give me some advice on how to deal with this?
You likely have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract; consult a urologist or a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and discussion of treatment options,

My dad's ultrasound found 3 kidney stones around 10mm in his left kidney and a 9mm gallstone. His feet stay swollen all the time but no pain yet. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if stones this big can be treated without surgery and how long the removal process usually takes

My foreskin doesn't fully cover the head of my penis about 11.5cm is always exposed whether it's erect or not. It's been like this for years without any issues, but I recently read about paraphimosis and now I'm worried if I have it. Also, what exactly is circumcision surgery and would I need it
Paraphimosis is a urologic emergency where the foreskin, once retracted, cannot be returned to its normal position, leading to a tight band around the glans of the penis. It's a medical condition primarily seen in uncircumcised or partially circumcised males
