Patient's question:
My son is 11 years old this year. His penis has started to grow, and there are a few sparse fine hairs at the base. He is 1.53 meters tall and has not yet changed his voice. When is the fastest period of growth during a boy's development?Doctor's answer:
As for whether the child shows signs of precocious puberty, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a clear diagnosis through laboratory testing techniques. The development of external genitalia alone cannot determine the issue. Take your child to the endocrinology department of the hospital for a comprehensive examination. If signs of precocious puberty are found, hormone-interfering injections can be used for control treatment. This will not affect his growth and development. A penis enlargement at the age of 11 can also be considered normal development. Let's wait and see. Engage in more exercise, avoid exposure to inappropriate sexual knowledge, and try to reduce the intake of snacks such as beverages.
