Bloodwork For Penis Undevelopment

Hello guys!
So, i am going to take a bloodwork test. I am curious what tests to take that could discover a hypotetical case of undeveloped penis. In other words, what are the conditions that could lead to an undervelopment in the penile tissue, excepting micropenis.
My situations is average length but only 4.5 inch girth. Also my puberty was late, i remember that girls used to say that they have more hair on their legs than me. Now i am in my mid twenties and still lack chesthair.
Obviously it could be hormonal, but i am trying to discover which hormone to test for. Also might it be other stuff like a disfuntion in the liver or diabetes? I want to know which are all the medical conditions that can lead to an underdeveloped member. What do you know about this?

Thanks!

Interesting approach. I really don’t know.

From the hair side, I’m not hairy at all, nor is any male in my family. Not a single chest or back hair in at least 4 generations. I can’t grow a full beard either. Healthy chops, helluva natural goatee, but they don’t connect. I’m no different from any male in my blood alive during photographs either.

Genetics.

Far as blood tests. My testosterone is through the roof. My doctor actually recommended estrogen. No thanks 🤣 I won’t even take aspirin, let alone a hormone supplement…

There might be some footings on actual conditions, but I wouldn’t base a thing on hair, or lack thereof.

I do not assume that my case is the result of a pathology or a hormonal imbalance.

I am rather asking the question: if this is the case, which pathology or hormonal imbalance or orverall medical disfunction could be responsible for underdevelopment and i should look for by doing bloodwork?

I know that probably i inherit the penis dimension genetically but if there was to be a disorder or something, i would like to know which ones are generally responsible for a thinner than average penis.

4.5” girth is flat average. It’s doubtful that you have a hormone problem.

A basic testosterone test gives one number. The full panel gives four if I remember right. Plus you should get estrogen or estradiol numbers too.

A full thyroid workup is also a good idea. Like testosterone, there are simple and detailed results.

Ask for a vitamin D test while you’re at it. Note that numbers acceptable in the US are much lower than in the rest of the civilized world. There are lots of general health issues associated with low D.

Testosterone, thyroid, and D are not part of a “full blood panel” in many places; they’re only included if specifically ordered.

Get copies of the results for your own personally-kept medical record. Get the doc or his nurse to explain anything you are unfamiliar with.

There is no test to measure the development of the penis other than a diagnose based on other parameters.

However, there is a wrist bone test which will measure your biological age against your chronological age. Lets say all your classmates are going through puberty and you still look like a baby, your biological age might be less than your chronological age.

I had that problem. I developed later than most of my classmates. While they were growing beard and body hair, I was shorter without any hair, baby voice and baby face. We were 15 at that time. The wrist test showed that my biological age was 12.6 years.

usually is not problem. Everything grows eventually and catch ups with everybody.

Thanks for the answer guys. Never heard of wrist bone test. I will take a look into that.

Andy, really the kind of answer that i was looking for. I actually have a list of blood tests but i did not think of thyroid and estradiol.

If someone knows other pathology, vitamin deficiency or any kind of deficiency or general medical disfunction that can lead to penis underdevelopment, where underdevelopment means less than the maximum of the genetic potential, please hop in.

This can turn into an interestig thread, with this list. I saw a case on a subred on reddit of a guy who was lacking testosterone due to opioid use during puberty. The guy gained lots of girth. What he did was injecting test and doing PE. Any one of this or maybe both did the work for him. Maybe i am a similar case or maybe someone visiting is.

I think a thread with this subject, to eliminate any medical condition that can lead to less growth during puberty, is very useful.

So do you tell the doctor what to do or does he tell you?

Both. I have some suggestion and maybe he has his.

I’ve been burned by bad medical care. Now I’m an “informed patient”, which most doctors would consider to be a ripping pain in the ass.

My doctor is someone I’m paying for a service. I’ve been with him long enough to generally trust his advice, but I always look things up for myself. Mostly, he’s my gateway to labs and diagnostics that are not available without going through an MD.

As the old joke goes, “Do you know what they call the med school grade who graduates *last* in his class?”

“What?”

“Doctor.”

I’ve run into too many of those over the years. And don’t even get me started on office staff and medical records…

In this case a “doctor” does not necessarily apply. An MD, should not have jurisdiction to practice in chronic conditions or diseases. An MD by definition is trained for allopathic reductionism. i.e. Trauma. He can only manage symptoms through only 2 methods: drugs or surgery. That’s it. Which makes it useless for a chronic condition, since a synthetic drug will never succeed at curing a condition, only managing the symptom which will never address the underlying cause.

In chronic situations the only treatment and cure is up to the human body, as long as the right conditions are created. And here is where the op wants to open a can of worms and go down the rabbit hole.

You ask which other vitamin deficiencies could be involved. Well, i have news for you. You are severely low in essential nutrients. You might ask how do I know if I dont know you? Well, let us make a bet. Do you know how much molybdenum you consumed today? How much arsenic? How much manganese? I bet you have no idea. Yes, you even need fluoride and chloride. In trace amounts. But your cells ned them.

The overwhelming vast majority of Americans are severely depleted of nutrients. The reason is very simple. We have the most toxic biohazard nutritional habits in the planet. Add to that, the essential nutrients are not in the soil anymore. The soil is depleted and intoxicated with pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, roundup, etc. Proof? Well, ALL, absolutely all 100% of the most common chronic diseases keep skyrocketing in the US every single year. New drugs come up, diseases keep increasing. And the cause is the same: Toxic nutrition plus nutrient deficiency.

The human body needs every single day of its life 90 essential nutrients. 60 trace minerals, 16 vitamins, 12 amino acids, 2 fatty acids. For every single cell in the body to successfully accomplish every single biochemical process, all those 90 essential nutrients must be present. The chronic absence of only one of them can translate into dozens of chronic symptoms that create a chain reaction resulting in chronic diseases later in life, or even early in life in many cases.

These same deficiencies in a pregnant mother are the root cause of many newborn diseases, something wrongly called “genetic” of “family history” by mainstream medicine. When in reality the cause is a family history of multigenerational bad nutritional habits.

I think you’re mistaking under-developed/undeveloped with average or under-average. That’s like trying to take a test to see why you’re 5’6” instead of 6’2”. There is no “lack of development,” but rather, genetics and luck of the draw.

The real and only use for this test would apply to actual abnormalities like micro-penis. Somehow creating the idea that you lack development with a penis of NORMAL size may have more to do with your sense of self-image than anything biological, and I say that respectfully.

Very well said.

What you’re talking about is largely genetic and you probably won’t get any answers from blood tests.
It’s possible that messing with hormones during puberty might’ve caused it to grow more, but there’s not much science on the matter. That which does exist suggests that penis size is determined more by the protein makeup of receptors, rather than quantity of hormones.

The part of growth/development that isn’t genetic is mostly nutritional. That is, if you’re malnourished you may not meet your genetic potential; though again there’s not much data on nutrition and penis size either.

No matter what you find out, you’re unlikely to be able to do anything now. You’re done growing and developing; so I even if you did determine that there was something abnormal, correcting it now wouldn’t produce the results you desire.

This reality is what has lead everybody here, though. We’re all looking for ways to improve upon whatever we already have. And there are many who testify to success with time and effort.
