How Can I Increase The Testes Size Of A 4 Yr Old Boy ?
my 4 yrs old son has very small size testes ( ~4-5 mm.) both sides . He has normal XY Chromosome with no others developmental problems. Since his testes can produce hormone in normal level ( we did test when he was 3 months ), Endocrinologist here in Thailand say we ve wait to see his adolescent time . But I really want to know if we have other way to help him . What should I do to make his testes bigger?.May be some kind of food or any medical supplement?

Hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The size of testes you wrote is really small but the positive point is the normal hormonal level.If the development of sex organs (here in this case testes) is not proper in child then there can be a growth spurt around the 12-14 yrs ;also during the period till your child reaches the age the testes will keep on growing but no body can predict how much.As for the medicine or supplement to increase the size there is none available or else even the Endocrinologist might have given.Please be calm and let him grow.You as a caring mother just maintain his healthy diet and regular follow up with his doctor .
Thanks
