مولود ذكر عنده فتحة البول على الجهة السفلية من القضيب (إحليل تحتي). أي تعليم للأهل صحيح؟

A male newborn has the urethral opening on the underside of the penis (hypospadias). Which teaching for parents is correct?

1. Perform circumcision early in the first week of life as usual
2. He will need to void sitting down for the rest of his life
3. It resolves on its own and needs no follow-up
4. Delay circumcision as the foreskin may be used in the repair

Answer: D) Delay circumcision as the foreskin may be used in the repair. In hypospadias circumcision is delayed because the foreskin may be used in the repair, usually done within the first year.
