My son has a small penis

[poppy990]

My son is 10 and his willy is very small. I’m really worried. I’m hoping it will grow when he hits puberty. Anyone else experience this? He knows it’s small and comments on it all the time

Probably quite normal, it would have been better to check prior to the age of ten though

Oh dear. Poor boy.

If you're worried take him to the GP.

Evening, everyone. Thanks for the reports. We've had a look behind the scenes and as far as we can see the OP looks genuine and has been around a fair while.

Maybe this is your chance to reinforce the fact that people come in all shapes and sizes. It doesn't define him. Nor will it make any difference to him as he grows up. It will still do everything it needs to. Having a big willy won't make him more of a man.

Oh God, why has this been reported? Nothing to suggest it’s dodgy at this point, is there? I’d sooner people got advice.

Wow people reported me? I was looking for help and advice... thanks to people who have replied. I thought Mums with older boys might be able to reassure me that’s all

THIS!!

The penis grows most during puberty. Usually over about 4 years of puberty which starts, usually, any time between 10 and 14.

I used to worry about Ds, his was smaller than others I had seen, friends, nephews. The accidental glimpses I have had now he is 17 suggest that a lot happens in puberty.

If you are really concerned then have a discreet word with your GP.

But whatever the size and future growth, the ‘size is not manhood’ conversation is important anyway.

If he hasn't hit puberty the current size isn't indicative of anything. Well, maybe if you're talking under 1cm, I don't know about the very tiny.

Even when adult, some guys are very much growers not showers - tiddly when down, normal (or in one memorable case from my youth rather startling!) when ready to go. Other men are the same length either way. It's all a bit odd really.

If you're worried then take him to the doctor. Nobody on MN can rule out something like a developmental or hormonal issue. Maybe puberty will change things. Maybe as an adult he will be more of a grower than a show-er (in my experience, some of the very best are!).

It's not that uncommon. Statistically many of our children will grow up not that big. What can you do? Nothing. Please try not to worry.
There really is nothing, absolutely nothing toucan do about ..... how tall he is...... how big his willy is. Nothing. At all.

Cannot believe people reported this FFS

Why? There have been many threads like this started by trolls in the past. Reporting it so that MNHQ can check it up it is exactly the right thing to do.

By the time my DSs were 10 I never saw them naked so can't really help.

Hi there, I was sad to see people giving you a hard time here. It is totally natural to be concerned about the effect on your son's morale of his having a small penis. School is a competitive , competitive and often cruel arena and, even if no other child has seen your son's dimensions, your son will be absorbing all the talk and understanding very clearly that , supposedly, 'big is best'. Naturally the child may then become troubled and even ashamed of their size.
Their anxiety becomes a good parents concern. You care.
My son has always had a tiny penis. We've been to the gp and it's not a micropenis, it works and isnt a health concern. However, now he is 15 and it's still a quarter the size of average, it is understandable he is depressed about it.
Of course I tell him that we come in all shapes and sizes, of course I tell him he is perfect but, we are not an island, society says otherwise, loud and clear.
To check on his delayed puberty we saw a paediatrician who made me feel like a devil mother for trying to discuss anything other than the pure health issue of his size. I expect that doctor has an average sized penis himself.
I am not responsible for my son's anxiety, I don't make him feel bad about himself but I KNOW that such a small penis will affect his confidence with future intimacy and has already made him fearful of 'exposure ' .
Yours in empathy x

Reviving a zombie thread, how have your boys got on? I'm just at the stage of booking a GP appointment for my DS and keen to understand what impact puberty has had on those boys with a very small penis through childhood. TIA

Opportunity to brag @Gh989...

Or fantasise?

Yeah, sure, you just happened to stumble across a zombie thread that hadn't been posted on in 6 months.

Wonder what he was searching for given he found a 3 year old thread...

I'm surprised you saw it at his age they usually get self conscious.
Anyway I thought penis size was genetic so presumably the dad is also small... and wouldn't you have known he was small since he was a baby and toddler anyway?
There isn't much to do about it in any case and what sort of assurance do you need? Size doesn't matter? Will get bigger? 🙄It is what it is there are bigger things to worry about.

Oh God, Zombie fucking threads. Fell for it again grrrr
