Question
My child is 10 years old and his penis hasn’t grown, with a long foreskin. I brought him to the hospital for a thorough check-up yesterday and was advised to have a circumcision. The doctor said that the growth and development have been disrupted and it’s not growing anymore, so there’s no need for surgery. I want to know how to stabilize this situation. Now that he’s 10 years old, as he enters the age of puberty, will he grow and develop normally like other children? How can we ensure stability in this situation?
Answer
Firstly, an excessively long foreskin does not interfere with the growth and development of the child’s genitals, so there’s no need to worry about this. Moreover, the child is eligible for a circumcision procedure. Since he is not yet in the pubertal stage, his genitals will still focus on growth and development. There’s no need to worry or be anxious; the surgery can be done. I hope my explanation is helpful. This is my suggestion for the question ‘What to Do If a 10-Year-Old Child’s Penis Isn’t Growing?’ I hope it is helpful to you, and wish you health!
