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 a 19-year-old guy and I've been masturbating for about six years, but lately, especially in the last year, I've been doing it more frequently. Now, I've noticed that my penis seems smaller than it used to be and I'm getting stressed about it. Is there a way to get my size back? Could too much masturbation affect my size? Would appreciate any advice or help.
Masturbation doesn't directly affect penis size, but frequent or aggressive masturbation can cause temporary swelling, bruising, or penile fatigue, creating an illusion of shrinkage; to alleviate concerns, consider reducing masturbation frequency, practicing gentle techniques, and focusing on overall physical and mental well-being, including exercise, healthy diet, and stress management.

I'm really worried because while having sex with my wife, as soon as I went in, my penis started bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached to the pee hole. Can you tell me what might be happening and what I should do?
I'm sorry to hear about this. Bleeding from the area where the foreskin is attached could be due to friction or irritation. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid further irritation. If the bleeding continues or you experience pain, it's advisable to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough examination and proper guidance.

I have extra foreskin that completely covers my penis when it's normal. I saw someone with phimosis, but unlike them, I don't have any pain. I can pull the skin back almost 90%, but 10% doesn't stretch easily. I've always used condoms without any issues. Do I need to do anything about this, or is surgery the only option?
yes advised to the pt.
