Hi.
I am really looking for some help / advice from parents who have a dealt with their child having a micropenis.
My son has a tiny little dinky and we are at the stage to start potty training but due to the size it doesn’t drop down.
Please be kind when replying as I’ve seen some horrible comments on this site and it’s took me long enough to be able to even ask for help.
Thank you

If it's causing functional problems with toileting it seems reasonable to see the GP so they can take a full history, check the genitals aren't obviously abnormal in other ways, and refer to endocrinologists / surgeons if needed.

Child penises are tiny until they reach puberty.

You have to tell him to scoot back on the seat and angle his penis down to pee.

We have already been under the paediatrician at hospital and it has been diagnosed as borderline mircopenis. He’s had an injection also to boost the testosterone for when he is older however it’s not a guarantee it will work.

If you were to compare a child of the same age there is a huge difference in size.

Do you mean it doesn't drop when he's on the potty? Ds hated the potty and went straight to point and shoot in the loo with a step,is that possible?
