Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should we handle internal heat in children?Doctor's answer:
Children with internal heat often manifest as dry stools, frequent colds, respiratory infections, etc. Appropriate use of heat-clearing and detoxifying medications, such as Er Ding Granules, along with increased water intake and consumption of vitamin-rich foods like vegetables and fruits, can be helpful.Hello, regarding the issue of underdeveloped genitalia you mentioned, 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 genital development, but it's important to determine the underlying cause of the hormonal imbalance. For obese boys, normal development can be impacted, and it may lead to pseudohypogonadism, where the penis appears small due to fat accumulation but returns to normal size during erection.
If it is confirmed that the penis is small and the testicles are not abnormal (excluding cryptorchidism), consideration can be given to 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.
