What causes delay in reaching puberty lack of growth of penis?
human
I'm 16 years old and still haven't fully hit puberty. I have some pubic hair (very few) and barley any leg and arm hair and no armpit hair. My penis and testicle is very small. When I was young I had surgery for my penis because of my circumcision (the doctor did it wrong when I was a baby) and there is a scar. Is there something wrong? I'm scared to be in a relationship and show my penis. help!

You should not worry as in most of such cases puberty is delayed because of constitutional causes. In such cases puberty may come between the age of 16 to 20 yrs. I will also suggest you to consult an endocrinologist after a year or so if till then also you do not get puberty. He will get you tested your sex chromatin, sex hormone levels and some other tests to evaluate the causes of delayed puberty.
