Objectiv To investigate the incidence of depression and its etiological factors in patients with hypospadias after operation. Methods From January to June 2015, we investigated the incidence of depression symptoms among patients with hypospadias after surgical treatment from January 1990 to December 1994 in Zhangzhou Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, and we matched them with mentally healthy adults of the same age to 1:1 ratio. Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale and Correlation Factor Questionnaire were used to investigate and analyze the related factors of depression symptoms between the patients with hypospadias and the healthy males. Results A total of 80 patients with hypospadias after surgical treatment and 80 healthy males as control were included. There were no significant differences in male secondary sexual development, testis development, serum testosterone levels and postoperative length and girth of the penis in two groups. The incidence rate of depression symptoms was 45.0% (16/80) in the hypospadias patients after operation, extremely significantly higher than 6.3% (5/80) in the control group (χ2=6.632, P=0.01). The result of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the main risk factors of depression symptoms were worries about dissatisfaction with penile and scrotal appearance (F=16.210 3, P=0.001), sexual satisfaction (F=4.621 2, P=0.036) and sexual function (F=4.103 2, P=0.043). Conclusion Symptoms of depression often occur in hypospadias patients after operation, and the major etiological factors are dissatisfaction with penile and scrotal appearance, sexual satisfaction and sexual function.
