Questions About Child Penis Development
Is it normal for the genital development of an 8-year-old child to be smaller compared to their peers?
A 13-week-old boy is found to have a shorter penis than his peers, and there is a query about whether this will affect physical development.
Children should not be prematurely diagnosed with small penises before entering puberty, but if the foreskin is too tight, it may indicate phimosis, and it is recommended to undergo a foreskin circumcision surgery before development. For chromosomal abnormalities, it is emphasized that early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent further progression of the condition and severe consequences.
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 and was advised to have a circumcision. However, the doctor said that the growth and development have been disrupted and there’s no need for surgery anymore. How can this situation be stabilized? Will he grow and develop normally like other children as he enters the age of puberty? How can we ensure stability in this situation?
A child’s small penis at age 8 may be due to reasons such as long foreskin, phimosis, or endocrine disorders. Treatment options can include genital elongation surgery, supplemented by kidney-tonifying and yang-invigorating medication for opsonize.
