Patient's question:
25 years old. No beard, small testicles. The penis is the same. How to check testosterone levels, what department to go to in the hospital.Doctor's answer:
For individuals with micropenis, a systematic endocrine examination is required, including the human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation test, to detect whether there is dysfunction of the pituitary gland or testes. Radioimmunoassay for sex hormones shows that the concentrations of plasma testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) are both low, while E2 and T are high. Testicular biopsy pathology shows dysplasia of the spermatogenic tubular epithelium, basal hyalinization or fibrosis, and the absence of mature sperm cells. Chromosome karyotyping should be performed to rule out gender abnormalities.
