A member asked:
What do you advise if i had leukemia when i was 4 and 11 my penis is 3 1/2, would chemo delay puberty or make my penis smaller?

Yes. It could: I assume that you had a new diagnosis of leukemia when you were 4 year old, and it relapsed when you were 11 year old.chemotherapy you had received when you were 4 year old probably did not affect sexual organ. But, chemotherapy given after puberty affects puberty and secondary sexual maturation. It may delay puberty, reduce testosterone production, and reduce sperm counts. Ask an endocrinologist.

Not necessarily: A penis of 3 1/2 inches is normal pre puberty and in the early stages. Sometimes chemo affects hormone producing organs and you may need supplemental intake of testosterone. Ask your doctor to keep track of this and determine if you are maturing normally.
