Accepted Answer

Courage: Doctors see all sorts of things and when you go to the doc he/she will diagnose what is going on.  You MAY have an hormonal imbalance that can be dealt with more easily than you think.  Please do see your doctor.  It will give you peace of mind and help.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

when will my penis grow in girth? i am just starting to see arm and armpit hair growth. i can also see a bit of hair above my lip. i have a pubic hair

Accepted Answer

You are okay...: Glad to see you do well in developing secondary sex characteristics as described since physical growth will naturally stop soon after reaching adulthood as predetermined by genetic codes - for men, roughly at 18. So, don't worry and enjoy your youth and teens to unfold your life in decades to come.

i am 18 and 5 months bearly through puberty penis and testis child like low pubic hair growth and no deep voice to scared to go doctors for years now can i still grow in height and my penis i can get my hormones sortedi never had the growth spurts everyon

Accepted Answer

No help without : Seeing your doctor, you need to be evaluated right, after physical exam, blood tests and x-rays would tell how your bone age is and whether you need some hormonal treatment to achieve puberty and adolescence, your doctor would refer you to a specialist, mainly an endocrinologist.  Don't delay any further, goodluck,

Question 6

can i as an 18 y/o male have low testosterone? my voice is pretty high but i have normal body hair growth and muscle development. penis is small.

Accepted Answer

Yes: One can have low testosterone, but high voice , and "small penis" do not necessarily mean this, and it is common for teenagers to be concerned about such things even when all is normal. I think you should discuss this with your family doctor. If there is a problem it can be investigated and if normal it would ease your mind. Do no be embarrassed as there is nothing doctors have not heard before.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Maybe/not: You still likely have more time to grow. Your penile size is determined by a blend of genetics from both parents, not just your dad.Ask your doc at your next checkup.

Question 8

what can cause body hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Hormone imbalance: Hormones such as testosterone can stimulate hair growth.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Several causes: In your age group several potential causes for excessive hair growth are 1st- genetics (not much to do about that one in this part of the 21st century), 2nd- hormonal irregularities (see endocrinologist), 3rd could be medication. Some drugs such as Dilantin can cause unwanted hair growth in normally UN-hairy individuals. If cause is not identified then, electrolysis or laser are good txs.
