Hypospadias: A Guide to Treatment: The definitive guide for parents with boys born with hypospadias. - Paperback

by Suzan Carmichael (Author), Bill Kennedy (Author), Genevieve Kilman (Author)

Hypospadias is the most common birth defect. But because it affects the penis, it is rarely discussed, and up until now there have been no published resources for parents on the subject. This book solves that problem. And helps parents avoid the two most common mistakes that unfortunately occur far too often: 1. Choosing the wrong surgeon. 2. Not telling their children that they were born with hypospadias, which can lead to psychological trauma when the boys discover anomalies in their penis as an adolescent.
