Suggest Remedy For Penis Problem
Hi I have a 5 yrs old boy who was circumcised at birth. At infant stage we noticed that he would almost suck in hisentire penis which looked funny and wiered then but now as a preschooler i am a little concerned about his size. He too has started noticing that its different from others his age. Is there something i need to knw about? shouldi be visiting a doctor?

Definitely this is an issue to get concerned .. during infancy if the child has a stretched penis length of less than 2.5 cm then he needs evaluation . Usually in kids having small penis, the length of penis increases during puberty , but this can be reassured only after ruling out other endocrine causes ( disorders of sexual development - DSD) of small penis.
But still I can say that it could be a normal variant as it is the most common cause.
