| | Babies born with penis developmental disorder happier when raised male, say Johns Hopkins researchers |
| | Because the micropenis birth defect can, in some cases, result in inadequate male sexual function later in life, some parents have chosen to raise their child female with the hope that genital reconstruction is more likely to result in a strong sexual identity, positive body image and pleasurable sex life. | | | People born with a micropenis and raised as girls said they identified solidly with their female gender, but only 20 percent of the women said they were satisfied with their genitalia. | | | Genetically and physically male babies born with a condition called "micropenis" are more likely to achieve psychological and sexual well-being in adulthood if raised male, according to a new study by researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other centers. |

| | In extreme micropenis, some authors recommend a trial of testosterone therapy to evaluate responsiveness to androgen therapy. | | | In cases of extreme micropenis, especially if associated with other genital anomalies (eg, cryptorchidism, hypospadias), gender reassignment is sometimes considered. | | | Testosterone therapy has been shown to increase phallus size in infants with micropenis. |

| | Objective: We determined whether the existing reference values for the diagnosis of micropenis are appropriate for optimal care of neonates in a multiethnic environment like Vancouver. | | | Results: Mean length -2.5 SD was used for the definition of micropenis and was 2.6, 2.5 and 2.3 cm for Caucasian, East-Indian and Chinese babies, respectively (p < 0.05). | | | Conclusion: Mean penile length and diameter are slightly but significantly smaller in newborns of Chinese origin compared to newborns of Caucasian and East-Indian origins. |
