“…The selection criteria for individuals with a micropenis are the clinical criteria defined earlier. The report by Reilly and Woodhouse (1989) was excluded because it did not meet these criteria. Only articles that clearly indicated the number of patients identified and their ages were utilized.…”

“…In the study of Reilly and Woodhouse, 9 it was found that despite the very short penile length, sexual function was satisfactory in 20 men with micropenis and 75% of them had successful sexual intercourse with proper endocrine management and treatment before puberty. In our studies, none of the patients received any type of endocrine treatment.…”

“…There have been some reports published about the male sexual role of hypogonadal men with micropenis. 8,9 Recently, Kadioglu et al 10 reported that erectile response to intracavernous injection combined with manual genital self-stimulation was effective in most man having a micropenis with low androgen levels. One another possible way to obtain objective recordings of erectile activity is monitoring of nocturnal penile erections by the RigiScan device.…”

There has been conflicting opinions in the literature regarding sexual function in hypogonadal men with micropenis. In this study we aimed to evaluate erectile function in hypogonadal men with micropenis by nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity testing (NPTR) and compared the results with young potent normal penile sized men. A total of 15 men (ages 17-30 y) defined having a micropenis with a stretched penile length of less than 9.3 cm were constituted the study group. Mean stretched penile length was 6.871.6 cm (range 3.6-7.8 cm). Karyotype analysis showed 46XY in all cases. Control group included 22 potent and normal penile sized men (23-29 y). All subjects completed three sessions of consecutive nights using the RigiScan Plus device. Comparison of the results of NPTR of control group with study group revealed that number and duration of erectile episodes (Po0.001), duration of tip rigidity 460% (Po0.01), TAU tip and TAU base (P ¼ 0.001), and RAU base (P ¼ 0.01) were found to be significantly lower in men with micropenis. In conclusion, our study showed that men with micropenis are associated with decreased nocturnal erectile activity.

“…In fact, it should be taken into account that testosterone therapy in micropenis caused by fetal testosterone deficiency results in a functionally adequate penis, even if penile length usually remains significantly shorter than the reference values for young adults [104,[173][174][175]. Available data suggest that there is no clinical [104], physiologic [176], or psychological [177,178] basis for considering gender reversal in infants with micropenis and they should therefore be raised as males.…”
