Feeling Anxious

I got given the date for my little boys surgery today 😢 He’s 18 months old and we’ve known since birth that this day would come but I’m now starting to feel nervous. Has anyone’s little boys had to have Hypospadias surgery? He’ll also be circumcised at the same time. - please could I hear how everything went for your little boy and what aftercare was like. TIA x

Asked heal baby care app and sharing in case it helps: "It's completely understandable to feel nervous about your son's upcoming surgery; it's a big step for both of you. Many parents have shared positive experiences regarding hypospadias surgery, noting that their children typically recover well. Aftercare usually involves keeping the surgical area clean and dry, managing any discomfort with prescribed pain relief, and monitoring for signs of infection. Parents often recommend following the surgeon's instructions closely and being prepared for some swelling or bruising, which is normal. How are you feeling about the aftercare process, and do you have any specific concerns about it?"

Thank you for that @Heaven 😊

This may have been similar to what my son had. Just didn’t remember the diagnosis name for it. He wasn’t peeing straight. We did the surgery at 3 months with circumcision. He did really well and healed good. The surgery was quick too.

@Nai how long did it take him to recover?

My son had a penile twist as well (not severe) to where he wasn’t peeing straight. He got circumcised at the same time. He healed in about a week :) He was 10 months old.

@Nia oh that’s really good! I was dreading the thought of it taking ages to heal! That’s made me feel a lot better about it so Thankyou. :)

Don’t worry about it! I was super nervous too. Thank goodness the surgeon seemed really confident and nice. Now that it’s all over, I’m super glad I did it :)
