What is a micropenis?
A little but regularly shaped penis is referred to in medicine as a micropenis. Hormonal or genetic factors can cause this condition. Medical professionals frequently take note of the problem in the birth to early childhood years. If there are no other health issues, a micro penis can operate regularly. People with micropenis are still able to urinate (pee) and have erections.
How many people have a micropenis?
Micropenis is very rare, affecting about 0.6% of people worldwide. In the United States, approximately 1.5 in 10,000 newborns are born with micropenises.
What are the symptoms of a micropenis?
A penis that, when gently extended, measures less than 0.75 inches is the most typical sign of micropenis in newborns. A micropenis is an adult penis that, when gently stretched, measures 3.67 inches or less.
Although micropenis can happen on its own, it frequently coexists with other health issues brought on by hormonal imbalances or congenital (existing from birth) illnesses. The reason behind the micropenis will determine your child’s symptoms.
The number of sperm in some individuals with micropenises may be decreased, however this isn’t always the case.
The most prevalent cause of micropenis is hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, however other diseases such as Prader-Willi syndrome and Kallman syndrome can also result in foetal testosterone deficit.
When the hypothalamus, which is responsible for controlling the pituitary gland and autonomous nervous system, fails to release chemicals that encourage the production of testosterone in your testicles, the condition known as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism arises because of this. Reproductive and maturation processes require this process to occur normally.
Sometimes, there’s no known cause for micropenis.
How is a micropenis treated?
The two most popular micropenis therapies are surgery and testosterone therapy.
Micropenis therapy is beneficial for people of all ages. However, the likelihood of success increases if a medical professional detects and treats the illness in a child.
