Was this inappropriate?26M. I recently had a flashback to when I was 15.5 y/o and had regular visits with my pediatric endo. I only have TID, no other autoimmune disorders but my pediatric endo always checked my testicle size during every 3-6 month checkup. Is this appropriate? I'm trying to figure out if this is the norm

Most pediatric endocrinologists check the testicles to see the volume and stage sexuality maturity.Endocrinologists also are heavily focused on hormones, so its well within their training to make sure youre testicles were growing appropriately.What's TID? What were you seeing an endocrinologist for?

He'll be more uncomfortable after surgery at age 3 than at age 6 mo, but there's really not a solid indication to fix that early. For things like undescended testicles, those should be done sooner.
