Get in Touch with a Doctor Immediately:

In most infants, hypospadias can be diagnosed soon after birth. In this case, mild cases of hypospadias can be treated immediately, such as a slight dislocation of the urethral opening. In such a situation, it becomes important for parents to consult to doctor immediately if there is any doubt or concern about the child's penis or if there is any problem with urination.

Causes of hypospadias:

The circulatory system of the male reproductive system is monitored by special hormones. These hormones keep the urethra and the front part of the penis sensitive. Hypospadias is a birth defect that is believed to be the result of hormonal imbalance. In such a situation, experts also believe that this problem can also arise due to genetic and environmental reasons. May be seen in infants if there is a family history of it. Talking about research, it has been revealed in many types of research that women above 35 years of age are at risk of giving birth to boys with hypospadias. At the same time, if the mother comes in contact with any hormones, pesticides or chemicals, etc. during pregnancy, then such problems can also come to the fore.
