Could Small Penis Size Be Due To Low Testosterone Levels?

Hi, my son is 10 yrs old. I have a quesion regarding his penis size. When he was born he had larger than avg testicle size (even now they are large) but his penis seems small in comparison. He is very tall for his age, 5ft 3inches and is a big kid (not fat just bigger and taller than avg kid his age). Should I be worried about him having lower testosterone levels? What should I be asking his pediatrician regarding this (without making him worry or feel weird about it). Thanks.

Dear,
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I do not think you have to worry about your child's penis size. Your child is 10 years. In the initial years, it is quite natural that the ratio between penis size and testicle size is non-comparable. Testicles size is always bigger.

Upto the age of around 12 years, or till the child reaches fully puberty, the penis size will never be more than 3 inches, at the maximum. But after that, there could be a drastic growth in the length and the penis can grow upto 6 inches. Therefore, as of now, the penis size is reasonable. There is no significant symptoms to worry about testosterone levels.

Hope this answers your query. Further clarifications are welcome.
Good luck. Happy New Year. Take care.
