Patient's question:
I feel that my child is growing slowly because he doesn't grow much in height. What are the initial developmental characteristics of male children?Doctor's answer:
Growing a beard, the start of hair growth in the armpits, are all signs of the beginning of development. The testicles gradually develop, the seminiferous tubules mature, the sperm-producing cells develop fully, and sperm are produced. When a man reaches puberty, due to sexual maturation, under the influence of male hormones, he will have sexual desires and develop feelings of affection for the opposite sex. This is entirely a psychological change that accompanies physical development during the process of puberty and is a normal phenomenon.
