Patient's question:
Medical Description: Hello, my son is 12 years old. When he urinates, the head of his penis is swollen like a lollipop. Is there a problem?History of Treatment and Effect: No treatment has been administered.
Help Needed: I want to ask if there is nothing wrong with his penis.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, typically each boy experiences some degree of growth in penis size between birth and the age of 5; further development to adult size occurs later, around ages 10 or 11, under the influence of hormones. However, some individuals may not fully develop until their twenties. This could be due to symptoms of balanitis, which is often related to poor local hygiene.It is recommended that you first pay attention to your child's personal hygiene, and also monitor the genital area for any signs of discharge or other issues. In necessary cases, you may use medications such as erythromycin ointment. It is important to take your child to the hospital for a thorough examination as soon as possible. Only in this way can the condition be properly treated, and it is essential to understand this matter. Ensure that your child meets their nutritional needs.
