I looked it up, it's just short of a centimeter. There are women with a bigger clit than that.

So of new borns often have a ~90mm flaccid penis at birth, and he is 1cm erect...

I wonder if he was born with an even smaller penis, or if his penis just literally never grew.

I'm about to sully my search history and look this up, but I would imagine there are hormone treatments you can get at a young age.

Edit: short answer. Yes it can help in some cases. Micropenis is often detected in infancy. And seemingly often caused by very low testosterone levels during development
