I have no experience with this personally, but I just wanted to say that I'm sure your little fella will be fine I hope that someone else sees this who may be able to give you some advice on it.
thanks its very hard to think of him going into surgery, i have had one kid in hospital once before cause he couldnt breathe and they rushed him off with dh and i was left not knowing what was going on only to fill out paperwork, and it really scared the hell out of me. so now i am very over protective and very clingy to my boys, i'm just a big sook lol!
my ob thinks he may have a case of chordee (his end seems wider than usual) but we see the surgeon on the 10th may so hopefully alot of answers and confirmation of it all. im hoping for sooner rather than later for his op (if he is like ds2 he'll want to play with his winky all day lol, if he is like ds1 who never touches his well then later wont be a problem). how many surgerys do they need only one or is it 2 at least ob told me he will have a tube put in?
My DS had this when born too, its weird it happens it 1 in every 300 boys born, my paedeatrician gave us alot of information when we went to see him.
The op cant be done until 6 months as its under general anathetic ( they have to incubate them)
DS coped fine with the op but im not 100% sure they did much... I mean he has a slight bend, which they dont fix apprently and he had half a foreskin so they made that even by removing the top half.
He had his two urethra openings close together , only one with wee coming out , it looked like a spider bite in relations to the distance between the two hole.... hard to explain.
They stitched one hole and then just left the urine to bypass the stitch and come out the top one .... It is stilll scared and reddish at times but i guess we will only tell as he gets older and it grows more. apparently the bend can become less noticable and the scarring should go away in time too. DS is two and a half now and i think its ok i cant really ever get a look, sometimes i think maybe he is weeing out of the wrong one still but its just the scar tissue there and he wees straight now.... That was a suprise, changing nappies before the op and having him wee to the right ....lol
He will be ok, Huge hugs, i felt sick to my stomach too but tbh the worst part in the actual anathestic, they get upset when they wake up with a sore throat, but mummy was there and he was just groggy for a day . we went home that day. a one day procedure. PM me if you have any questions
thankyou so much! its nice to hear from someone who's had their little boy go through this too, hearing from another mother and what to expect and not through a doc or surgeon who's just preforming their duty IYKWIM.
he makes me laugh he has good aim wee'd on his daddys tooth brush in the shower! his winky was very swollen when he was born, and he wasnt allowed to be in a disposable until he wee'd which took 24hours. but now wee's as soon as its out. his winky would point up but as the swelling went down so did it, its sort of twisted sideways abit IYKWIM but his foreskin too is not formed underneath and doesnt cover the whole of top so i am hoping for circumsism. but its amazing how the doctors dont tell you much i suppose its up to the surgeons. but oh the thought of him under general and seeing him sore makes me feel so bad. i think he's perfect though, (should see some peoples faces when i've changed his bum, it really angered me that they would look down at him, you dont know their is a problem unless you see him without a nappy on, so i have become overly protective of him)
My youngest had this (both the hypospadias, and the chordee which is a bend in the penis). He had it repaired at 15 months, and the excess skin on the overside of his penis was used to create a new foreskin. Other than a post operative infection (which was pretty nasty, he ended up on IV antibiotics) he has had no issues. I am taking him to see a new surgeon next week though because he pees at a funny angle and I'm concerned the chordee is not fully repaired.
His penis looks completely normal though, and the scar is very faint and on the underside where it really can't be seen. He also has about twice the length he had before the op, which I'm sure he will be grateful for in about 15 years.
its funny that i have noticed the chordee (when i see photos of him at birth i think its noticable too), i suppose when it was that swollen at birth may of been harder to be certain. but what gave it away besides the bend is his end (i think women are going to run away from him! lol)
lol about the length i noticed that too his winky isnt flopped straight down IYKWIM its sort of squished up abit (when i told dh this he said god he's going to end up with a monster of a winky lol!)
im not worried about scars as dh has scarring from his circumsism (from medical reasons, and will only have the boys done for medical, want that decision left up to them for later in life if they choose they dont want it lol) i am just hoping it will be one surgery and its all fixed? did your lil one have a tube inserted? is it to keep hold open so doesnt close up and do they take it back out? as im latex allergic and hoping none of the boys are.
I hope that someone else sees this who may be able to give you some advice on it.
