After the surgeries, the health of the two babies recovered well, they ate and lived normally, and were discharged after 3 days and returned for a check-up after 7 days.

According to Master - Doctor Cao Xuan Thanh - Department of Surgery, Hoan My Da Lat Hospital, congenital penile retraction is a condition in which the penis is not clearly visible outside but is covered by a layer of skin and fat in the pubic area. Although it does not affect life, if treatment is delayed, it can cause abnormal development of the penis structure, making future surgery more complicated and can cause difficulties in personal hygiene, increase the risk of urinary tract infections and seriously affect the child's psychology, causing the child to feel inferior, lack confidence, and be afraid of social interaction...
