Patient's question:
The last time I took a bath, my son's penis became erect. I specifically took a look and found that his penis was very long and thick, even larger than that of an adult male. His foreskin was also intact, with the entire glans exposed, and he had not yet grown any pubic hair. He is now 13 years old, which is still quite young. Is this premature development?Doctor's answer:
If a girl starts developing sexual organs before the age of 8 and a boy before the age of 9, precocious puberty can be ruled out through tests for sex hormones, bone age, and growth hormone. For children with precocious puberty, in addition to timely sex education, psychological care and effective treatment measures should also be taken. The ideal method for treating precocious puberty is to treat the underlying cause of the disease based on the diagnosis in order to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.
