Crossing Borders for Care: A Hypospadias Success Story from Bangladesh to India

Mr. and Mrs. Taiyan from Bangladesh were blessed with a baby boy who was diagnosed at birth with Hypospadias. Understandably concerned, they chose to delay surgery initially and sought further guidance when their child turned five years old.

They connected with us through a teleconsultation, during which we explained the condition and the complete surgical plan in detail. The child was diagnosed with proximal penile hypospadias associated with severe Chordee, making it a complex case requiring staged hypospadias surgical repair.

As the penile size was small, we recommended preoperative hormonal supplementation with testosterone injections, which the family was able to arrange locally in Bangladesh.

With trust and confidence, the family travelled to Hypospadias Foundation, Navi Mumbai, India for treatment. The surgical management was completed in two stages:

 Stage 1: Complete correction of chordee and penile straightening
 Stage 2: (after 8 months): Urethroplasty (urethral reconstruction)

Both procedures were successful, and the child recovered well with good functional and cosmetic outcomes.

The parents were overjoyed and they shared their experience in their own words with us.

“As parents discovering that our son, Arhan Faiz Taiyan was born with hypospadias was totally unknown for us. For the first three years, we were unaware of the consequence of this birth defect and when we finally learned about it, we were deeply concerned and determined to find the best possible care for him.

Initially, we consulted surgeons in our own country but did not feel confident enough to proceed with such a delicate surgery. Our search for specialized expertise led us abroad, and fortunately, we found MITR hospital and Hypospadias foundation in India, renowned for their excellence in treating hypospadias. In 2023, we had our first appointment over the phone, and from that very moment, we felt reassured. The warmth and professionalism of Dr A.K.Singal and Dr Ashwitha Shenoy gave us confidence at every step. Despite the challenges of arranging visas and travelling for surgery, the hospital team stood by us, keeping their commitments and guiding us with care.

Our son underwent two surgeries at MITR hospital because my son had hypospadias with severe curvature of the penis. Each time, the doctors and staff provided not only expert medical treatment but also genuine love and compassion. Their dedication and skill have transformed our journey from worry to relief.

Today, we are overjoyed to say that Arhan is completely fine. MITR hospital has given our child a healthy future, and for that, we will always remain grateful. Hypospadias Foundation & MITR hospital is truly a place of trust, expertise, and compassion.

Finally, I will give special thanks to Dr A.K. Singal and Dr Ashwitha Shenoy who has made our journey successful. Special thanks to MITR hospital and Hypospadias foundation.”
