hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concern.
* testosterone is used before surgery in hypospadias because it is beneficial in terms of increasing the size of penis and penis skin in hypospadias.
* Testosterone improves the texture, vascularity, and reliability of penile skin and its use is associated with negligible side effects.
* testosterone increases the penile size, and when the size of penis increases it is easy for the surgeon to do surgical repair.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
