In a pilot study psychological tests were carried out with 47 male children suffering from various kinds of hypospadias. In comparison with healthy children they showed strong feelings of inferiority and an increased sensibility, proved to be socially less adapted and more difficult to train. Children with mild forms of hypospadias had an effect being, psychologically seen, less striking. More aggravating mental problems were noted with increasingly frequent repetition of operations. Psychologically it has been stated that the most favourable time for first operation is the age of 5-6 years. Children submitted to an operation for the first time at the age of 2-4 years as well as children with a correction of hypospadias carried out at school-age only, proved to be more psychologically strained.
在一项试点研究中，对47名患有各种尿道下裂的男童进行了心理测试。与健康儿童相比，他们表现出强烈的自卑感和更高的敏感性，事实证明他们在社交方面适应性较差，且更难训练。尿道下裂症状较轻的儿童，从心理角度看，影响较小。随着手术次数的不断增加，出现了更严重的心理问题。从心理方面来讲，已经表明首次手术的最适宜年龄是5至6岁。2至4岁首次接受手术的儿童以及仅在学龄期进行尿道下裂矫正的儿童，心理压力更大。
