A member asked:

I have very small hands and thin wrists for a man. my 12 year old cousins have same sized hands as mine. what is my case?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genetics: The size of our bones is largely determined by out genetics. If small hands is something that runs in your family then it is not surprising that you would have this. Remember it is not the size of your hands that is important but how you use them that counts. Be healthy.
