Patient's question:
The boy keeps coming back home saying his penis is smaller than his peers of the same age, even smaller than those in lower grades. My child is about 1.53 meters tall and weighs around 50 kilograms. In the past year, the treatment and its effects have been as follows: no treatment has been done. What kind of assistance is needed: so many children...Doctor's answer:
Children are still in their peak growth period, and the penis is also in its peak growth period, so it is not possible to determine exactly how long it should be at this time because the growth rates vary.Advice: Generally, if a 12-year-old child has phimosis (excessive foreskin), it may interfere with the growth of the penis. If there is phimosis, I recommend getting a circumcision as soon as possible at the hospital. Let the child exercise more and avoid being underweight.
By the age of 16 to 18, the growth will basically stabilize and stop. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the size issue at this time.
