9 Year Old, Stressed Out, Penis Retracted Inwards, Small Penis. Is This Normal?
9 yr old son is stressing out! He just noticed his penis has retracted inward. He is scared and is also autistic and terribly frightened to see doctor and worries constantly. He is average weight, not really under or over weight. The penis was circumcized twice as an infant and had a penile detorsion at 2yrs old. Has not had any problems since to my knowledge. Also the size of penis is everymuch the similar to an infants. Help! Should I panic? Or is this normal? Hes very embarrassed.

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
The size of the penis can vary and at times is embedded in the surrounding suprapubic fat. This can only be assessed by a clinical examination, however I do not see anything for you to panic. Reassurance by your doctor shall be beneficial both to you and your son.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
Wishing your son all the best.
