Abstract
Genotypic male subjects (34) with a true micropenis were reviewed to determine the clinical situations in which micropenis was encountered and the types of therapy resulting in growth. The relationship of clinically functioning testicular tissue to growth was noted. Diagnostic modalities, including human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation, are discussed, as well as a plan for individual assessment and therapy.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
