Question

My baby’s penis has been short since birth, about two-thirds smaller than other infants. It becomes hard during urination. Is this normal? What could be the reasons, and how should it be treated?

Answer

Based on the description and photos, the child’s penis growth and development appear to be normal. Possible reasons include a higher body fat percentage making the penis appear smaller and an overly long foreskin. It is recommended to regularly flip up the foreskin and clean the area to maintain hygiene and promote the growth and development of the penis glans. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health.
