Question
A 13-week-old boy has discovered that his penis is shorter than that of his peers, and he inquires whether this will affect his physical development.
Answer
Excess weight in boys may lead to delayed sexual development, and it is recommended to check hormone levels. At 13 weeks, he has not yet fully developed, which may affect his future growth. If medication or other means are used to increase the size of the penis, it may cause other side effects, especially during the growth spurt, as premature development may affect height. It is suggested to let nature take its course and observe the growth and development.
