Patient's question:
Compared the penises of my brother's children, I noticed that our baby's penis is noticeably smaller than theirs. Our children are all about the same age, but there are no other symptoms. Now, we are very concerned that our baby may not be growing and developing well. He is about ten months old now.What kind of assistance is needed: Why is our baby's penis smaller than other children's?
Doctor's answer:
What is the reason for a baby's penis being shorter than other children? At ten months, a baby's external genitalia have not yet developed, and it is normal for them to be shorter. Your child's condition is normal, but it is important to pay attention to how the testicles rise into the scrotum. If you notice that there are no testicles in the scrotum, please seek medical attention promptly to avoid restricting the child's growth and development or hindering the development of sexual characteristics later in life. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
