I am vidya Sagar,I would like to share my feelings & experiences about Hypospadias.
My brother had moderately severe Hypospadias problem. He was passing urine from the
undersurface
of the lower part of his penis. We were told that this is called penoscrotal hypospadias.
Actually it was better to go for Hypospadias repair in childhood only. But due to some
economical issues and due to lack of knowledge on Hypospadias, his surgery was delayed.
When my brother was 14 years old, we went for surgery. The doctors whom we approached told
that
he would require two operations to correct the defect. My brother went to first surgery at
the
age of 14, second one was at the age 15. However, after the 2nd operation, my brother was
passing urine from 2 places, both on the undersurface of the penis. The surgeons told us
that
due to some problem, the operation had failed, and one more operation had to be done. Thus,
my
brother underwent 3rd operation at the age of 16. But after the 3rd surgery, there were more
problems; his penis was looking very bad and he was still passing urine from 2 holes below,
but
nothing from from the front of the penis.
After 3rd surgery failed, we went to another doctor, there 4th surgery at the age of 19
years.
This one also failed. When we asked the doctor they said that nothing more can be done and
he
had to live like that. After this failure my brother was very much disappointed. He can’t
able
to concentrate on studies, not able to meet his friends and can’t able to urinate public
places
also. He started feeling like he was different from others by thinking about Hypospadias. We
are
very much disappointed and worried when thinking about his future. At that time we have
several
doubts in our mind like, in future by doing surgery will it corrected or not (because age is
increasing). Otherwise if it is like this is it ok for marriage or not, but we don’t have
answers for these questions and nobody was able to tell (because most of the people don’t
have
idea about hypospadias). We are in full of confusion and in depression and we don’t know
where
we have to go for better treatment and which person we have to meet.
One day when I am in discussion with my boss (in my office) about personal issues regarding
my
brother Hypospadias problem, he told me about Dr.VVSChandraSekharamgaru who is an expert in
pediatric surgery, pediatric urology and hypospadias surgery. It so happened that my boss’s
son
also had hypospadias which was repaired in a single operation by Dr Chandrasekharam with
excellent result. Thus, my boss had tremendous confidence in Dr Chandrasekharam, so he
referred
me to sir. After consulting Dr.Chandrsekharamgaru, even though it was critical and
challenging
surgery, he came forward to do surgery to my brother at the age of 23. Even though this is a
most difficult case, Dr Chandrasekharam could correct the entire problem in 1 surgery; this
surgery took nearly 3-4 hrs. The urinary catheter was kept for 14 days. After the catheter
was
removed, my brother passed urine normally in a single stream from the tip of his penis and
his
penis was straight.
Now my brother has completed 1year after the surgery. Now every thing ok for my brother .No
leakage was observed when passing urine. His penis is actually looking like a normal penis
without the front skin. My brother and my whole family in full of happiness. We are very
much
thankful to Dr.Chandrshekaramgaru . He given new life to my brother. If we known about
Dr.Chandrashekaramgaru in earlier years we will not face this much problems. This is due to
lack
of knowledge on Hypospadias. One thing I would like made it clear to people who are
suffering
from several diseases, don’t feel shy to discuss about issues with well-wishers and friends.
With discussions it will help a lot just like in brother problem.
I think my note will help to some people. After reading my note if atleastone was person is
benefited, I will be happy.
Very very thanks to Dr.Chandrashekaramgaru for doing this surgery with great effort. In
Andhra
Pradesh, nobody come forward to do my brother’s case after 4 failed surgeries.
Dr.Chandrashekaramgaru came forward and made it success to my brother at the age of 23.
Thank
you sir.
One thing I would like to request to Dr.Chandrashekaramgaru”please do the surgeries for the
patients who are suffering like my brother and give new life to them”.
Once again very veryheartfull thank you to Dr.VVSChandrashekaramgaru.
If anyone wishes to contact me, they can do so on my mobile or my email.
