Microphallus

[Anonymous]

Nobody’s body is perfect. If question why you want to “fix” this and what’s going to be good enough for you.

It could’ve been, but sometimes it’s just genetics/luck. I dated a guy who said he was 5’6”, but probably was really 5’4”. He was large. Another guy I dated 5’10”, but tiny feet (men size 7), also was large. Two tallest guys I dated (one with big feet) were tiny.

I think this is good advice. I'd just tell your son he is going to endocrinologist to see if puberty is on track. When you make the appointment you could ask the receptionist how does the doctor work with children in cases of microphallus. What do they say. Etc. You might even be able to book a consultation appointment over zoom to discuss with doctor before you go into the office.

A fair number of men are like this unless it’s hard.

Retracted into the body? No.

No they’re not. Plenty of men are “growers,” but that doesn’t affect sex/reproduction. A true micropenis is maybe 1-2 inches when erect, which is a serious issue.

The doctor , his pediatrician, saw it and gave referral.
As a woman I can only conclude that a too small penis can be indicative of something else. Sheesh.

So, there is your answer: it does not matter to women. Nothing to treat.

There’s a huge difference between being below average and having a micropenis. Google pictures if you aren’t familiar. That’s not going to work for 99% of women.

What do you mean work? Most women don’t have orgasms because of penises…so that’s not particularly relevant. If the small size is related to reproductive issues, then it’s another matter. Also way to assume being hetero etc…

Jesus lord. There’s a 90% chance he’ll be hetero so some assumptions are ok. They aren’t meant to insult you, snowflake.

It’s not going to work for most gay men either!

It’s going to be even worse for him romantically if he’s gay! Women are usually more tolerant of that

I dated someone with a micropenis, and it was a dealbreaker. I just waited until I found other reasons to break up with him. Don’t listen to the well-intentioned pp who said there’s nothing to treat.

When you make the appointment, ask the receptionist how to get a written message to the doctor ahead of time. Write a *short* note to the doctor ahead of time explaining that a micropenis is your main concern, but you want to use euphemisms in front of your son, or meet separately. You’re not the first person to want to avoid body shaming, and the doctor does this every day. He’ll know how to handle it. ( I know most doctors are female, but so try to take him to a fit for this particular appointment.)
