Hypospadias Success Story – 2 | Pediatric Urologist in Hyderabad
A Journey from Wet Shoes to a Confident Smile
Every day after school, a 5-year-old boy came home with wet shoes and socks. His parents initially thought he was just playing with water. But when it happened after every bathroom break, they became worried. They decided to consult Dr. Prabhu Karunakaran, an exclusive Pediatric Urologist in Hyderabad, for expert evaluation.
Diagnosis: Distal Penile Hypospadias
Upon detailed examination, Dr. Prabhu diagnosed the boy with distal penile Hypospadias, a congenital urinary defect in which the urinary opening (meatus) is located on the underside of the penis instead of the tip.
Because of this, the child passed urine in a split or double stream, causing his shoes and feet to get wet each time he urinated.
Common signs of Hypospadias include:
Urine passing in two directions or downward
Spraying or wetting while urinating
Penile curvature (chordee) in some cases
Difficulty directing the urine stream
Understanding Hypospadias
Hypospadias is one of the most common birth defects in boys, occurring in about 1 in every 200 male children.
It happens during fetal development when the urethra fails to form completely.
The condition can be:
Distal Hypospadias – near the head of the penis (most common)
Mid-penile Hypospadias – along the shaft
Proximal Hypospadias – near the base of the penis (more complex)
Early detection and treatment by a specialized Pediatric Urologist are vital for best outcomes.
The Surgical Treatment: Single-Stage Hypospadias Repair
Dr. Prabhu Karunakaran, a leading Pediatric Urology Surgeon in Hyderabad, performed a single-stage Hypospadias repair under specialized care.
The surgery involved:
Reconstructing the urinary passage
Relocating the urinary opening to its normal position
Ensuring a straight, single urine stream
The procedure was completed safely with minimal complications and excellent results.
The Successful Outcome
After the surgery and proper recovery, the boy could urinate normally with a single, straight stream. No more spraying, no more wet shoes — and a confident smile returned to his face.
“Hypospadias is a correctable condition. With timely surgery performed by an expert Pediatric Urologist, children can achieve excellent functional and cosmetic outcomes,”
says Dr. Prabhu Karunakaran, Pediatric Urologist in Hyderabad.
