Hypospadias.....

[Mum2Romone]

they told us they would use a small plastic tube if they needed to , hope that helps, only about 1cm long, and it would be deep inside so he wouldn't feel it

I know this is an old thread but just wondered if anyone who had their child's hypospadias repaired suffered from a subsequent fistula and how this was diagnosed? My son is recently toilet trained and he pees at a funny angle. If he pees sitting down then the pee kinda goes backwards, and if he is standing up it goes straight down (not out the front iyswim). I am concerned he is urinating out of a fistula and the urine is then travelling through the created forekin before coming out. My other thought is that there is a lot of forskin at the tip of his penis so maybe there is too much and he needs it trimmed (shudder) or even a circumcision.

I will be making an appointment with a urologist asap but just wondered if anyone else has noticed this in their child many months after the original operation?

Hi I'm really sorry I can't help on this one. We have just had a 3 mth remove from our intitial operation and go back in may to get our next operation date to have the tube inserted.

I hope someone else can answer your question if you have not already been seen by dr.

If you have I'd love to know how you went

I am still waiting for my appointment with the urologist, but he saw a paed today and there is no fistula. He does still have some curving of the penis, which is probably what is causing the angled pee, but she doubts it will cause him any problems long term.
