Patient's question:
I am 22 years old, but my penis is still the same size as when I was a child. Although I started growing pubic hair at a young age, my penis remains the same size as when I was young. What is this condition, and can it still be treated now? I am 22 years old, and how much will it cost?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of true micropenis include:(1) Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with testicular origin, where the hypothalamus and pituitary are normal and can issue strong commands, but the testes are diseased and unable to execute the commands to produce hormones and sperm.
(2) Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, where the hypothalamus and pituitary are affected and cannot issue instructions to secrete testosterone downward.
(3) Partial androgen insensitivity syndrome, where the penis is insensitive to androgens. The patient's testosterone levels are normal, but the secondary sexual characteristics are abnormal, and there may even be hypospadias.
(4) Idiopathic micropenis, where the cause or etiology remains unknown.
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered.
