? penis size ?: Penis size varies from birth within a broad range. One of the first signs of male puberty on exam is increased testis size, not just length/girth. The 1st worthwhile screening tool for puberty is a bone age x-ray of a wrist/hand. If the bone age is not accelerated, it means no pubertal hormonal effects are present & blood tests unnecessary.
