Adult hypospadias management is mainly through surgical repair, where the position of the urethral opening is not correct. This birth abnormality results from a blockage in the development of the urethra and causes the urethral opening to be on the shaft of the penis rather than the glans; if not corrected, it may result in complications of micturition as well as cosmetic problems. Hypospadias repair or urethroplasty is the surgery that seeks to shift the opening of the urethra to the normal position, make meaningful improvements to the physical appearance of the penis, and allow normal urination and sexual intercourse.

The surgical process commences with assessment and consultation by a urologist, where he or she has to determine the exact condition of the patient as well as whether there are other conditions like Peronei’s disease, which is a curved penis or scar tissue following other operations. Typically, doctors employ diagnostic tests such as ultrasound to ascertain the condition and status of the urinary tract and nearby tissues. The operation is more complicated depending on the type and degree of hypospadias. Depending upon the intensity of the disease, in some cases, it may need only one operation, and in some cases, it may require more than one operation. This process involves forming a new urine passageway using tissue, typically from leftover circumcision skin or the mouth’s epithelial lining. The surgery also corrects any penile curvature to achieve straightness and functionality.

You must use antibiotics, other medications, and adjuvant interventions properly to avoid any unhealthy consequences. Physicians usually recommend that patients refrain from physical activities and sexual activities for several weeks in order to allow the vagina to heal properly. The urologist also requires aftercare sessions to assess progress and manage possible postoperative conditions like infection or fistula. Literature analysis indicates that hypospadias repair in adults has very high success rates when performed by qualified urologists, though it requires elaborate care after surgery.

Enhancing hypospadias in adult patients can greatly benefit and even change lives by improving urinary and sexual function, boosting self-confidence, and enhancing well-being. A specialist urologist manages hypospadias in adults, determining the most effective surgical plan for optimal results in patients with untreated or poorly treated hypospadias.
