So according to my GP, DS has a small penis.....

[ibroughtcake]

I don't get how big she wanted it to be, he's 7 wks old fgs

she even wrote it in his book, ?small penis? and very helpfully didn't tell me why she wrote it in there, what if anything it could mean or anything else, just hmm I am a bit worried that his penis is quite small we will keep an eye on it!

So me being me, I went and googled it and am now having panics about micropenises and the like. Anybody else have any experience of this?

TIA

I told DP before I did it

imagine the shock when he saw 'small penis problem' in the searchbar

"we will keep an eye on it"

WTF do they plan on doing with it??

what an odd thing to say. and even more odd that she didn't say why she wrote it.
I wouldn't worry too much tbh, but you can always ask the HV or someone if you want reassurance

I don't know why she said 'we'll keep an eye on it' I though it very strange

now he's got 'small penis' written in his book till he is 18

same thing happened to me pruners only this baby boys one was really wide.

Basically they all come in all different sizes and they are all normal and at 7 weeks to write that with no explanation is not right.

AFAIK she doesn't have any children, but she also said he had big testicals sp? so maybe it just looks small in comparison!

at the boy with the huge one though!

Some children can have problems though - I know someone who will have an operation later in life, because it is so small - not to worry you, I'm sure it's fine, but that's probably why!

But if she thought there was a problem shouldn't she of said come back in 6mths or whatever to get it checked again

Not just 'sorry mate you've got a tiddler' and see you later

Oh crikey - ds had "small chin" in his red book at the 6/8 week check. Was mightily affonted with that (has gorgeous chin). Think would have imploded if it'd been his penis.

small chin??? why the hell would you ever write that in a red book

Think she should have explained the ramifications. Think you're entitled to ask at the very least. My ds is 3 and I think his willy is small (though perfectly formed) compared to some of his friends. Never had "small penis" put on any of his notes though. Would have been pretty p*ssed off with that and no explanation!

If it was me, I would tippex it out and demand she explain herself. Stupid woman.

I am so sorry, but I am PMSL at this thread....

GP sounds like a nob. See if you can see another GP at the practice to confirm?

VVV, don't worry it is rather funny, although DP is keeping rather quite on the subject

I think I will ask the hv next time I see her if she can take a look

I'm with NAb... in fact I have a tippex pen right here

I wonder what size she was expecting it to be for 7 weeks....

Hey, tell you what, I pity her husband!!!!!!!!!!!

She is a rather strange doctor overall to be honest, she never wears shoes and sits with her feet up on the chair which just seems wrong to me and today she was sporting a lovely shade of glittery gold nail varnish

I checked with my normal GP later on, because it did play on my mind a bit. She said not to worry = and that at the 8 week check it pays to be thorough.

Maybe she's a bit bored? Looking for a reaction?

Pruners - you must have seen my son Dh is even jealous of ds's
