Guest guest Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hi All: I've been wanting to ask this on this listserve for quite a while but just wasn't sure if it is too sensitive a question to ask... but I badly need some answers, so here it goes... My son is now 3 years 4 months old and is IUGR/SGA. He was born with hypospadias and underwent 2 surgeries during his first year to have his penis repaired. Now his penis looks normal, but I am really worried about its size. He is my only child so I do not have a comparision, but he goes to preschool everyday, and from time to time I do bump into other 3-year-old boys in his class getting changed when I drop him off, so I know his penis is much shorter than theirs, I would say his is probably half the length of theirs (1 " , relaxed). My son's urologist didn't seem concerned when I raised the question, instead he said everybody is unique, and penis is usually proportional to the body size as well (my son is 36 " tall and 30lbs, he is the size of an average 2 year old at 3 years 4 mons of age). He also said the penis gets most growth out of puberty so I do not need to worry. May I ask what your experience is with your SGA/RSS boys when it comes to penis size? Is this a result of hypospadias or IUGR/SGA? or both? What is the normal penis size for a SGA boy at his age? Should I be worried? Any other parents on this listserve who have boys with hypospadias?... Please email me privately if you would like. I really need some answers regarding this and I really appreciate your help! Thanks so much! Bo (Mom to , IUGR/SGA, 36 " , 30lbs, Periactin; Prilosec; Miralax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
