Patient's question:
When my baby was just born, the private area was very small, but it did not affect urination. Now that he is in school, this area still hasn't developed much. For a 7-year-old boy with micropenis, which department should I consult?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for examination and treatment of the penis, you generally visit the urology department. You can go to a secondary or tertiary hospital's urology department for this. After visiting the hospital, you can first have a physical examination. You can observe the size, texture, thickness, tenderness, or rebound tenderness of the penis. It is recommended to have a color Doppler ultrasound examination of the penis to determine if it is hard and to check for any redness, rashes, or ulcers on the surface of the penis. Additionally, observe whether the penis is normal in shape, color, and texture, and whether there is an excessively long foreskin or phimosis. If a patient has phimosis, it is recommended to undergo circumcision surgery at the hospital. The design of circumcision surgery allows the excessively long foreskin to be cut, so that the glans naturally becomes exposed.
