Penis Size Has Reduced. Told To Wait Till Puberty. What To Do?

Respected Doc:
Hearty Greetings to you:
My son is 13 years old now (weight 50 kgs & height 5.5 ft), since last 1 year it has been observed that his penis size has been reduced to 1/2 inch. I have been deeply worried, and have been showing to many different urologist in municipal (Bagwati-Borivali / Nanavati) & private hospitals (Karuna Hospital-Borivali / Holy Spirit-Andheri).
Docs says that we need to wait till my son attends maturity and some say his testicles are normal so need not worry, as it will grow as the days goes by, but till today it is of the same size.
My son’s foreskin is hanging as the inner part has been reducing, request to kindly advise me as our family Doctor Trivedi is suggesting to cut the tip of foreskin through surgery as the foremost tip size is very small while pulling the peni.
During his childhood he had a normal size penis but now he feels bad as the other cousins and their parents tease him for his little peni size. He faces no problem while urinating, the penis enlarges to 1 inches while urinating.
He was operated for Harnia at the age of 3 years, Sir is this reduction happening due to Harnia operation??????????
I am a single parent of my son since he was one year old. I don’t want him to face any problem in life.
I am very free with my son and have been explaining him about puberty till now he has shown no sign of maturity????????
Request your earliest kind advice as I am not able to decide what to do.
Sir, I anxiously await your feedback.
Thanks & Regards

there is absolutely no problem. the minimal penile length of 2.5cms can perform all the functions of intercourse and fertility. get his scrotal testicular size analyzed using orchidometer which will tell u if child is acquiring sexual maturity as per tanning chartings. this will allay ur fears.
