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?

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

just had successful RIRS surgery for my 11 and 14 mm kidney stones what medicines or precautions should I take to prevent them from coming back
To prevent the recurrence of kidney stones after successful RIRS surgery, focus on hydration, dietary changes, and medication as recommended by your doctor. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, aim for 3 liters (5.2 pints) or more, to help flush out minerals. Limit animal protein, sodium, and sugary drinks. Medications like alpha blockers (like tamsulosin) or potassium citrate may also be prescribed to prevent stone formation
