Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine, and why do pediatric genital organs fail to develop?Doctor's answer:
Hello, when you mentioned that the reproductive organs have not developed, are you referring to the penis or the testicles and scrotum? Is the size of the testicles normal? Have you had any tests done?A deficiency in androgens will certainly affect the development of reproductive organs, but it is necessary to determine the cause of the low androgen levels. For obese boys, it can affect normal development and may lead to pseudo-undescended penis, where the penis appears small due to fat, but its size is generally normal during erection. If it is confirmed that the penis is small and the testicles are not abnormal (excluding cryptorchidism), consider using sex hormone medications, such as human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) or androgens, but this must be done under the guidance of a doctor to avoid other consequences and adverse reactions.
