What should I do if a boy's genital growth is slow?

Patient's question:

My son is 12 years old, and there has been a question that has been troubling me. His penis is particularly small compared to children of the same age, and his foreskin cannot be retracted, with the entire glans mostly covered. When he was around 10, the foreskin visible externally was less than a centimeter, barely more than a speck, and even when erect, it was only about two centimeters. Now that he is starting to develop, I want to pay attention to this early on, fearing that he may not grow properly in the future due to genetics. I am seeking advice from the doctors on what can be done to help his penis grow naturally to a larger size when he becomes an adult (dietary measures or supplements can also be suggested). Thank you in advance for your help.

Doctor's answer:

Boys need to pay attention to the timely and careful observation of their growth and development.
1. Children's growth and development need to be paid attention to and observed in a timely and careful manner.
2. Based on your situation, your son is 12 years old, and there has been a problem that has been troubling me for a long time. His penis is particularly small compared to children of the same age, and the foreskin cannot be retracted, with the entire glans almost completely covered. When he was around 10 years old, the foreskin outside the body was only a small part, less than one centimeter, and even during erection, it was only about two centimeters. Now that he has started to grow and develop, in your case, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check hormone levels.
