Is a small fetal penis always a malformation?

Patient's question:

Now I've been pregnant for 26 weeks. I heard that going to the hospital for a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound can help determine the condition of the fetus in various aspects. I'm mainly worried about the fetus having malformations. How should the malformations of the fetal reproductive organs be checked?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, this type of fetal malformation belongs to a congenital developmental abnormality. This color Doppler ultrasound is a relatively reliable examination method. Currently, for this condition, a clear judgment and follow-up examination can be made in a professional obstetric department. This color Doppler ultrasound may require blood tests to make a clear judgment if necessary. For the patient at present, it is necessary to ensure the supply of nutrition, followed by regular examinations to understand the development of the penis. If the development is poor, surgical treatment may be required to improve it.
