Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my son is four months old and he has hypospadia He will have surgery at six months but the urologist recomended some testosterone shots before the surgery How do this shots affect a four month old baby.?will he have any growth issues because of this shots later?
hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concern. * testosterone is used before surgery in hypospadias because it is beneficial in terms of increasing the size of penis and penis skin in hypospadias. * Testosterone improves the texture, vascularity, and reliability of penile skin and its use is associated with negligible side effects. * testosterone increases the penile size, and when the size of penis increases it is easy for the surgeon to do surgical repair. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
