Question
My baby was born with a very small private part, but it didn’t affect urination. Now that he’s in school, this area hasn’t developed much either. What department should a seven-year-old child with a small penis visit?
Answer
Hello, typically, you would consult the urology department for issues concerning the penis. You can go to the urology department of a second or third-tier hospital for examinations and treatment. After visiting the hospital, you can start with a physical examination. Observe the size, texture, thickness, tenderness, or rebound pain of the penis. It is recommended to undergo a penile color Doppler ultrasound to determine if the penis is hard and to check for any rashes, ulcers, or other abnormalities on the surface; also, observe if the frenulum is normal in length, color, texture, and if there is too much prepuce. Or phimosis. If there is phimosis, it is advisable to go to the hospital for prepuce circumcision surgery treatment. The design of prepuce circumcision allows for the overlong prepuce to be cut off, naturally exposing the frenulum.
