Hello,
thanks for the query
Penis growth is occurs between infancy and about 5 years of age and at puberty.
The size of penis depends largely on genetic factors as well as environmental factors.
However, at 4.5 years, i think it might be early to start talking about a small penis unless it is really small and has stayed with that size for a long while.
To be sure there is no underlying problem, it is necessary to visit a urologist for detail examination and appropriate treatment if indicated.
Hope this answers your query.
Best regards
