Abnormalities in boys' genitalia

When a baby is born, the midwife often looks right into the baby's genitalia to ring up 'son' or 'daughter'. But there are cases where the boy's genitalia is unclear or abnormal, causing parents to worry.

When the boy's genitalia does not appear to be or is too small, the penis is not clear. Many other cases are often misidentified:

The penis has bilateral skin flap: The normal size but the skin on both sides of the scrotum grow and stick to the penis. This condition may be congenital or because the circumcision of the foreskin is too large, causing the scrotum to stick to the skin of the penis. The penis with skin flaps usually does not cause any problems, and can be overcome by surgery.

Falling penis: Although the penis is normal in size, it is obscured by adipose tissue in the pubic area. This condition is also known as a buried or hidden penis. Some children from birth have been " dropped " and others have been circumcised, often in toddlers, sometimes in obese adolescents. If the penis can show up when pulling lightly or when pushing from the bottom up around the thick fat tissue, there is no need to intervene because this condition usually goes away over time. Sometimes, children need surgical intervention. Both treatments provide good results on urinary and erectile function later on.

The penis is stuck: The penis is of normal size, a part is stuck in the fat tissue in the pubic area, usually caused by circumcision. The formation of scars or adhesions causes the penis to become trapped in the muddy adipose tissue. This situation makes it easier for children to have urinary tract infections due to urine stagnation, so need surgical intervention.

Baby penis

Length when outline is more important than in "resting state." Pull the penis slightly and measure from the root to the tip, eliminate the muddy adipose tissue to have a length from the root. 9 cm is considered a small penis.

The baby's penis occurs when there is a hormone problem at some point after the 14th week of pregnancy, when it is already formed. Need to check hormone levels, chromosomes to see if there is any genetic syndrome. Test for testosterone for 3 months, if the penis develops, there is a lot of promise that as an adult, children will have normal penis size and function. If the penis does not respond to testosterone stimulation, there is a gender problem.

Should gender change?

The literature mentions the case of a newborn boy being mistakenly lost his penis in circumcision surgery. At 22 months, the baby was cut off the testicles to become a female, genitalia reshaped for female breeds. Baby was raised like a little girl. By puberty, the boy is given estrogen injections to allow the breast to grow. However, when he grew up, he gave up the thought of being a girl and insisted on living like a man.

Recent long-term studies of small penile cases have shown that, although the penis is small, most boys raised as boys eventually become true men, that is, yes Heterosexual tendencies, urinary standing, have pronounced male identity, normal erectile function and have sexual desire. The sex partners of these men also said they achieved sexual satisfaction. To alleviate difficulties for them, medicine can help create a dildo.

Adults who have had vague sexual organs, unknown male or female, strongly oppose transgenderism before they have the intellectual ability to choose their gender.
