Hypospadias Treatment In India
Looking for the best Hypospadias Treatment in India? Dr. Jasmeet Ahluwalia is specialist surgeon for the treatment of Hypospadias. Hypospadias is a congenital condition that affects one in every 200 to 300 newborn boys. Hypospadias is a fairly common condition, under which the opening of the urethra (the urethra is a tube that drains urine from your bladder to the outside of your body) is not on the tip of the penis as it can be located anywhere together with the undersurface of the penis to the scrotum. There is also a condition called Chordee, which is commonly seen with hypospadias, in which there is a downward bend of the penis. When the opening of the urethra (meatus) is at the end of the penis, then it is called the “distal” position. When it is located at the penile shaft or even in the scrotum, then it is called the “proximal” position. The distal position is a mild form of hypospadias, but the proximal position is a severe case that requires a complex surgical approach.

Types Of Hypospadias
There are several types of hypospadias, depending on where the meatus is located. These include:
Distal Hypospadias: This happens when the urethral opening is found near the head of the penis.
Midshaft Hypospadias: This occurs when the urethral opening is located in the middle of the lower shaft of the penis.
Proximal hypospadias: This happens when the urethral opening is found near the base of the penis.
Penoscrotal Hypospadias: This happens when a urethral opening is found in the scrotum.
Perineal Hypospadias: This is the most severe form of hypospadias, and it occurs when the scrotal sac is in front of the urethral opening.

Symptoms of hypospadias
Abnormal urination: the urine stream is difficult to direct and control because the urethral opening is not on the tip of the penis.
Chordee: The penis could be bent downward as it grows, which can cause sexual dysfunction later in life.
Abnormal Foreskin: When only the top half of the penis is covered with the foreskin, it may create a hooded-like appearance of the penis.
Undescended testicles:- This occurs when the testicles do not fully descend straight into the scrotum.
Causes Of Hypospadias
Hypospadias occurs during pregnancy. The penis begins to take shape between weeks 9 and 12 of pregnancy. During this time, male hormones stimulate the formation of the foreskin and urethra. Hypospadias results when a defect happens in the action of these hormones, causing the urethra to develop improperly. Although in many cases the accurate cause of hypospadias is not clear, there are several factors that are believed to contribute to the development of hypospadias. Sometimes, this condition is genetic, but the environment and hormones may also be factors that are associated with the condition of hypospadias.
Genetic factor: Studies have found that there are several gene variations that may play a role in the development of hypospadias.
Environmental factor: Exposure to certain substances during pregnancy, for example, phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), can increase the risk of the baby having hypospadias. In addition, maternal age over 35, mothers carrying extra weight, and smoking during pregnancy have also been found to be potential risk factors. However, further studies are needed to better understand the hidden causes of hypospadias.
Potential complications:- Hypospadias surgery is generally successful, but there can be some possible complications. Sometimes a hole or a fistula may occur in another place on the penis through which urine may leak, and it may require additional surgery to repair this problem. In addition to this, scarring may also occur after the surgery for hypospadias, which causes the narrowing of the urethra and would also require surgery to be corrected.

Hypospadias Surgery in India
Are you searching for Hypospadias surgery in India? Then do contact Dr. Jasmeet Ahluwalia, a renowned surgeon. Hypospadias surgery is needed, if the opening of the urethra (hole or meatus) is close to the tip of the penis (distal hypospadias), then it doesn’t require any type of treatment and is enough to leave it alone because at this point the penis can work normally. In more severe cases (proximal hypospadias), the urologist takes the skin from the foreskin or any other part of the body to repair the opening of the urethra and correct the bend of the penis so that they can provide a normal look to the penis. This treatment takes 90 minutes to 3 hours, but in some cases, the repair is not done in one operation.
