The ripple effect of stigmatization on children with congenital hypospadias: impacts on psychological and behavioral aspects
The incidence of behavioral problems is high among children with congenital hypospadias, and their levels are influenced by multiple factors. Medical professionals and family members should pay attention to the impact of the disease on the children's psychological well-being. Interventions should be implemented based on the identified influencing factors to encourage positive and proactive treatment among the children and their families. This approach aims to reduce the impact of the disease on behavioral problems during the children's growth process and enhance their social adaptability as adults.
