Question 2

micropenis question can i get my family started?

Accepted Answer

See below: As long as you have normal testicular function. You should not have an impairment of fertility.

Question 3

what are the options for people with micropenis ?

Accepted Answer

First, see urologist: Micropenis is something an occasional boy is born with. The doctor doing the newborn exam can tell if a penis is tiny. If a penis is normal-sized at birth, his own growth hormone and testosterone keep his penis growing until adulthood. A smaller-than-average penis is normal and not a micropenis, which is really tiny. A true micropenis is cared for by pediatricians, endocrinologists, urologists.

Question 4

on sono they think that baby has micropenis what do i do!?

Accepted Answer

See below: Try to relax. Once your child is born, the examination will give a lot of useful information. If there is still a concern, then your child's doctor will discuss what needs to be done. Most likely, a consult from a pediatric urologist, and possible endocrine doctor will be needed. I have seen this a couple of times over the years, and the child was normal, but just had a small penis.

Question 5

please help? is the micropenis condition in men hereditary?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: However fathers with small penises often have sons with similar small penises. Men with true micropenises often have endocrine problems which makes them sub-fertile.

Question 6

is there such a thing as a female version of micropenis for the clitoris?

Accepted Answer

Yes, micro=clitoris: Which is a tiny clitoris and is not a problem like micro-penis.

Question 7

what size penis constitutes a micropenis?

Accepted Answer

1% percentile.  : Micropenis is defined as a penile length in the 1% percentile in a given population adjusted for age. This occurs usually because of problems with the hormone system governing development, usually after 14 weeks of gestation. It can be a part of chromosomal problems such as klinefelter syndrome (47, xxy), trisomy 8, 13, and 18.

Question 8

what can cause micropenis - very small penis?

Accepted Answer

Micropenis: Micropenis may be associated with Leydig cell hypoplasia, Klinefelter syndrome, androgen insensitivity, decreased pituitary stimulation, decreased prenatal androgen, fetal exposure to diethylstilbestrol, etc.

Question 9

is there any cure for micropenis?  need surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes and depends : Micro vascular free tissue transfer allows for complete reconstruction of that anatomy in cases of traumatic tissue loss.  The need for surgery is a personal decision.

Question 10

i am 18 years old.i think that i have micropenis but i don't now what to do and what is beside surgery can fix that.does the surgery work?i am scared.

Accepted Answer

"I think" isn't a dx: You should see your doctor for an exam and to determine if you indeed have a medical condition (micropenis). The best way to allay fear is to take steps to get real answers. If yes, it is important to determine if there are medical reasons. Is your penis less than 2 inches erect? If not, unlikely to be a micropenis. Either way, learning to love yourself as you are is important!
