Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The growth of the penis is heavily influenced by a male hormone called Testosterone.Testosterone levels rise during puberty and this will lead to development of secondary sexual characters including the growth in the penis to average adult size.

Since he is 10 years old and still not attained his puberty then waiting till 13 or 14 years is a better option.It is then you may have to get the testosterone levels checked, if there is no improvement in the penis size giving Testosterone injections is the right treatment.

Treating him with any medications now would not serve the purpose by any chance.

Hope I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
