A small amount of wetness on the outer dressing after hypospadias surgery is usually normal, but it's important to monitor for any signs of infection or excessive bleeding. If the wetness is limited and not accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it might just be residual fluid or a small amount of bleeding, which is expected in the first few days after surgery. However, if the wetness is excessive, there's a foul odor, or if your son has a fever, redness, or increased pain around the incision, it could indicate an infection and you should contact his healthcare provider immediately.
