Hypospadias is a congenital deformity. There are four types according to the position of the urethral opening: penile head type, penile type, scrotal type and perineal type. Penile head type can be temporarily treated without surgery. For penile type, scrotal type and perineal type, it can affect the child's sexual function and standing urination, so surgery should be performed. Early surgery can restore normal standing urination and adult sexual function. Early surgery prevents children from showing psychological disorders because they are worried about others seeing their genitals deformed when bathing. Early surgery can restore standing urination, so the sooner surgery is performed, the better.
