When discussing the correction of hypospadias in a newborn, what does the nurse explain about this condition?

- B. Surgical repair of hypospadias is typically performed before 18 months of age.
- C. Corrective surgery is commonly postponed until preschool age.
- D. Repairing the defect does not increase the risk of testicular cancer.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hypospadias is a congenital condition where the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis. Surgical repair is the primary treatment for hypospadias and is usually recommended to be done before 18 months of age. This timing is preferred for optimal cosmetic and functional outcomes. Waiting until preschool age for corrective surgery may increase the complexity of the procedure and potential complications. Correcting hypospadias does not impact the risk of testicular cancer.
