A member asked:
My 10 year old son had circumcision when he was 4 years old. his penis is very short since he was circumcised. could it be because too much skin was removed than should have?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Circumcision does not change the penis beyond removing superficial tissue coverings. At age 10, he would be pre-pubertal & not ready to experience penile growth. Give him 3-5 years before you consider him deficient.
