Best Doctors for Hypospadias in Chennai

Hypospadias is a congenital birth defect that affects male infants and is characterised by the abnormal positioning of the urethral opening. Instead of being located at the tip of the penis, the opening can be found anywhere along the underside of the penis, potentially extending to the scrotum. The exact cause of hypospadias remains unknown, but it is believed to result from a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors that disrupt normal penile development during the eighth to twelfth weeks of pregnancy.

In Chennai, according to Apollo Hospitals’ estimates, hypospadias affects approximately one in 150-300 male newborns. Fortunately, the city is also home to experienced doctors treating hypospadias, who effectively diagnose this congenital condition.

Types/Stages of Hypospadias

Hypospadias can be classified into several types based on the location of the urethral opening:

  • Glanular or subcoronal: This type is characterised by the urethral opening being near the head of the penis, representing approximately 50% of all cases.

  • Distal or Midshaft: In this type, the opening is located along the shaft of the penis. It accounts for around 30% of cases.

  • Proximal or Penoscrotal: The urethral opening is situated between the base of the penis and the scrotum. This type constitutes about 20% of all cases and is considered more severe.

Symptoms of Hypospadias

Symptoms of hypospadias can vary widely among individuals but commonly include:

  • Misplaced urethral opening

  • Chordee, characterised by a downward curvature of the penis

  • Incomplete development of the foreskin

  • Difficulties with sexual function and fertility in severe cases

Tests to Diagnose Hypospadias

To confirm the diagnosis of the condition, doctors specialising in hypospadias treatment might recommend:

  • Physical examination: This involves assessing the location of the urethral opening and the curvature of the penis.

  • Ultrasound: Utilised to obtain detailed images of the urinary tract and genital region

  • Hormonal testing: By evaluating hormone levels, doctors can help confirm the diagnosis of hypospadias and exclude other underlying causes leading to abnormal penis development.

  • Uroflowmetry: This test measures the rate and volume of urine flow, which can help evaluate urinary function.

Treatment or Surgery Options for Hypospadias at Apollo Hospitals, Bangalore

At Apollo Hospitals in Chennai, doctors treating hypospadias offer various treatment options depending on the patient’s condition, including:

  • Chordee correction: In cases where penile curvature is present, this procedure aims to straighten the penis.

  • Two-stage repair: In severe cases of hypospadias, a two-stage repair procedure may be recommended. This procedure involves correcting the curvature of the penis initially, followed by further refinement of the penis shape.

  • Postoperative care: This includes regular follow-ups and preventative measures to avoid infections and complications.

  • Long-term follow-up: Crucial for monitoring treatment outcomes, urinary and sexual function, and addressing potential complications like urethral strictures or fistulas.

Patients can book an appointment with the best doctors specialising in hypospadias treatment in Chennai at Apollo Hospitals.
