“…[13,14] Mean SPL value in studies of newborns of different races and ethnicities may vary widely. [3,11] For example, mean SPL of Chinese children was found to be lower than that reported for Caucasians and even other Asian ethnicities. If a Chinese boy is not evaluated based on mean SPL measurements specific to his population, he may be mistakenly diagnosed with micropenis.…”

“…Penis continues to grow at a slower rate with total increase in penile length of 1 to 2 cm between 1 and 7 years of age. [3,11,12] Accurate measurement of penile length in children is of great importance. Abnormality affecting penile length may signal presence of serious disease.…”

“…[2] If stretched penile length (SPL) is average of 2.5 SD below age-matched penile length, it is accepted as micropenis. [3] Micropenis is usually associated with testicular anomalies and anomalies of external genitalia. If this pathology is not detected at an early stage and treatment not planned appropriately, it can lead to various metabolic, psychological, or sexual disorders, and may become a social problem at later stage.…”

Objective: In the present study, stretched penile length (SPL) of children aged 0-60 months was measured and relationship to anthropometric parameters of age, height, weight, interspinous distance, and pubic bone height (PBH) was evaluated. Data obtained were compared with results of similar studies. Methods:Total of 250 boys (age range: 0-60 months) participated in the study. All measurements of SPL, weight, height, interspinous distance, and PBH were conducted by single urologist. These assessments were performed under optimal conditions. Results: Overall mean height of the children was 55.82±3.22 cm, mean weight was 4729.08±54.23 g, mean interspinous distance was 12.757±1.21 cm, mean PBH was 2.56±0.46 cm, and mean SPL was 2.69±0.57 cm. Relationship between SPL and age, weight, height, and interspinous distance was statistically significant (r=0. 240, p=0.001; r=0.242, p=0.001; r=0.204, p=0.006; r=0.224, p=0.002, respectively). Relationship between SPL and PBH was not statistically significant (r=0.97, p=0.191). Conclusion:Correct evaluation of penis size abnormality requires both knowledge of age and origin-specific average SPL values and analysis of these data. Present study provides current reference values for Caucasian boys aged 0-60 months. When combined with anthropometric measurements, these data may be beneficial to clinicians in diagnosis and treatment process.

46,XX testicular disorder of sexual development (DSD) is characterized by male phenotype with 46,XX karyotype. The incidence rate is 1:25,000 in male newborn. Infants with ambiguous external genitals will be confronted with issue of gender assigment and may result in a stressful condition in the parents. Since gender assignment is inevitable, several factors should be considered in DSD management. The management approach for children born with DSD is individualized and multidisciplinary. Gender assignment aims to facilitate the patient to obtain the best quality of life. Adaptation of children with 46,XX testicular DSD as a determinant of quality of life is also influenced by psychological and family conditions. The purpose of this report was to observe medical growth and development aspects of the child with 46,XX terticular DSD as indicated by the aspects of growth and development, and health related quality of life, as well as the influential aspects. PA, 18 months, was diagnosed with 46,XX testicular DSD. The patient routinely visited to endocrinology clinic, urologic surgery, and child psychiatry clinic from the age of 6 months. The parents decided to raise patient as male. The patient had undergone surgery for hypospadias correction, hormone injections, child growth monitoring, and psychological monitoring (medical records of Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya in 2015). Management should consider individual and multidiciplinary accompaniment of the patient and parents, the importance of group support, and follow-up to adulthood, as well as possible longterm outcomes that will occur in the future so that the patients and the parents need to be prepared.

“…The normal stretched penile lengths (SPL) of newborns vary depending on the maturity, ethnicity, and race [6][7][8]. Normative data used in Caucasian populations may not be applicable to Asian populations [9,10]. It is therefore important to establish normal values for SPL for Sri Lankan new-borns.…”

Introduction Evaluation of the external genitalia is important in the routine neonatal examination, since abnormalities of the genitalia give clues to underlying endocrine disorders or structural malformations.Objectives The objectives of the study were to document the stretched penile length (SPL) of healthy term neonates born following an uncomplicated delivery at a tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka, and to establish the normative data for the SPL for Sri Lankan neonates.Method This was a cross sectional observational study, carried out at post natal wards of the Castle Street Hospital for Women, Sri Lanka. The study was done on 369 stable newborns delivered at the gestational age of 37 to 42 weeks. A complete neonatal examination was performed by the principal investigator and the measurements of the weight, length, head circumference and stretched penile length were obtained. Mean penile length and statistically significant difference of penile length (SD) values were calculated. The correlation of mean penile length, period of gestation, birth weight and length were analysed. ResultsThe SPL positively correlated with the length of the baby. There is no statistically significant correlation of birth weight, head circumference and gestational age with the SPL. The mean SPL for term Sri Lankan newborns was 3.03cm ± 0.37cm and the -2SD value was 2.29cm. ConclusionSince the -2SD of SPL was 2.29cm, measurements less than this should be considered as micropenis.This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited.
