Familial hypospadias
Healthcare/Doctors
What type of doctor will be needed to diagnose and treat hypospadias?
Hypospadias is usually diagnosed by a child's pediatrician or family care doctor shortly after birth during a physical exam. After hypospadias has been diagnosed, the child should be referred to a pediatric urologist to assess the defect and develop a treatment plan.
