When does a boy's genitalia begin to develop

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. When does a boy's reproductive organs start to develop?

Doctor's answer:

The male reproductive organs primarily begin to develop after the age of 12 or 13. Between the ages of 3 and 4 and 10, there may not be significant changes, but compared to when they were born, they should still be larger. Many boys have a smaller appearance of their reproductive organs, especially those who are overweight, as there is more fat above the penis. However, when touched, the size of the penis shaft is still normal.
Hold the baby's head in one hand, with their back resting against your forearm, and tuck their legs behind your elbow. With your other hand, form a loop and gently pour bathwater over the baby's head, being careful to avoid splashing water into their eyes. Apply a little baby oil or olive oil to their head after a while, allowing it to soften. Then, use a brush with medium firmness to loosen the large flakes of scalp. Finally, use baby shampoo to rinse off the flakes, and you're done.
Finally, hold the baby on your lap and gently dry their head with another towel.
