Patient's question:
The child is ten years old, and his penis has not grown for a long time. The foreskin is long. Yesterday, I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination and wanted to have a circumcision. The doctor said that it has now interfered with his growth and development and has stopped growing, so surgery is not necessary. I would like to ask how to stabilize this situation. At the age of ten, he has entered the age of boys' growth and development. Will he grow normally like other children? How can this situation be stabilized?Doctor's answer:
First, excessive foreskin does not interfere with the growth and development of a child's genitalia, so there is no need to worry. Moreover, the child is now old enough to undergo a circumcision procedure. The child has not yet reached puberty, and the genitalia will continue to grow and develop normally, so there is no need to be concerned or anxious. The surgery can be performed, and I hope my explanation helps you.The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child is 10 years old and the penis has not grown?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
