Baby Penis Size

[lisaleelu]

Hi
I know this sounds mad but I am worried the size of my son's penis. He is 3 it is much smaller than other boys his age.

He has no medical conditions - I have been to the GP about it. He agrees it is smaller than average but that it is just one of those things.

I am really worried that it might affect him when he is older. I feel if anything can be done it should be done b4 he is old enough to understand as definately dont want any issues when a teenager.

Anyway a search of the web reveals that testostone treatment if given b4 puberty can help. I mentioned this to my GP who said it is not something that the NHS would do. He implied that it was an American view point (to earn money) - giving children hormones - but the main studies I looked at were scandinvian and indian.

Anyway my GP has said he will refer me privately if I want a second opinion. I am going to do this even though the £150 is more than we can afford.

What do u think?

I don't know what to say except you will have to wait and see. Testosterone treatment just seems too frightful :(

If he has a small penis - he has a small penis. There us nothing you can do :(. I understand that you want to help him but I think it's a fact of life. He is healthy and will be a happy boy and man. There are many men with small penises who are married and have children! :) it can't be that bad. And I'm pretty certain if my husband had a small penis I would still love him - I'm sure all the spiteful comments cone AFTER a break down!

What does your DP/DH think?

My little DS has a small penis (from seeing other friends boys in the bath etc) although not small enough he can't wee standing up.

I do worry for him occasionally. But on the plus side, my DH is a 'grower' not a 'shower' (and grows to a most satisfactory length and girth!) so I'm just assuming DS will be the same.

What are you supposed to do with boys penises by the way? In terms of care. My mum (a nurse) used to pull back my brothers' foreskin to clean but someone else (I think Miriam Stoppard) said you should never do that and just leave it be.

DS2s penis was tiny as a toddler but now he is 5 it’s a normal size. Think you are being a bit silly to worry about this.

Hi I just read about your little boy and wanted to know if his penis has come through, as my sons still hasn't he is 10 months and I am worried?

If anyone is going to your son feel bad about his penis...it's you I'm afraid. He's still a baby practically. All body growth comes much later. Giving testosterone to a child sounds absolutely horrendous, and I can't begin to imagine the side effects. It's not something the NHS do for good reason. Stop worrying about it, I'll guarantee he's just fine!

I think anyone has concern see the proper dr for.ur son..my best friends almost.3.year old u can not see the penis at all and his.dr said just.small ...no u cant see the head nothing and he was cut.at.birth..dr told her they messed it up.point is as mom we do.anything.to.make sure their on point

Their are real disorders micro burried that can be helped that cause seriously sexual self asteam problems so cant have children make love or pee normal...small is one thing micro or buried is another.if u have concern u have a rite ur baby.they can treat these things and some are tsken extremely serious

How did things work out for those mums who started and commented early on this post (if any are still on here)? Would be interested to hear as I have concerns for my youngest son. Xxx
