Whether a boy’s penis is short or not needs to be judged by a doctor. It may be caused by hidden penis, small penis, etc., which can be improved by dietary modification, proper exercise or surgical treatment.
1. Hidden penis: The so-called hidden penis means that the penis is hidden in the subcutaneous fat, resulting in the exposed part of the penis being relatively short, which can be corrected through surgery, including the fixation of the foot of the penis and the shaping of the outer plate of the foreskin. For hidden penis in boys, the earlier the surgical treatment, the better the result, 3-5 years old is often a better time for surgical treatment.
2. Small penis: If a boy has a short penis, he may have a small penis, and should cooperate with a specialized doctor for endocrine treatment with medication alone or in combination, such as testosterone, chorionic gonadotropin, luteinizing hormone or gonadotropin-releasing hormone. If the effect of endocrine treatment is not good, you can also undergo surgical treatment, such as penis lengthening surgery, during the period of stabilization of penile development after puberty.
If a boy has a short penis, it is recommended to go to the urology department of a regular children’s hospital as soon as possible for a consultation and examination to clarify the cause and take timely measures to improve the situation.
