Question
My baby is three months old, and his penis is quite small. It flattens out when he strains, and I’m wondering if it will grow larger as he gets older. Also, he urinates frequently in short bursts, almost every half an hour.
Answer
Currently, there is no specific definition for the size of a baby’s penis. As long as the growth and development are normal and there are no phimosis issues, that’s fine. I suggest observing if your baby has a case of phimosis and recommend taking him to the hospital for a detailed examination to check for phimosis. If phimosis is confirmed, surgery may be necessary to prevent regional infections. Pay attention to hygiene, change diapers in a timely manner, keep the area clean and dry, and avoid inflammation. Also, ensure your baby drinks plenty of water.
