A baby girl grew a ‘micropenis’ after he had put her father’s chest in a bizarre case that doctors say that thousands of new parents should serve as a warning.
The case – described by Swedish doctors – accompanied a baby girl who lay down on her father’s bare chest.
This is an important part of newborn care called skin-to-skin contact, and that has various health benefits.
In this case, however, the father used a testoster accident product, an artificial version of the male sex hormone.
This is a medicine that is usually prescribed to help men fight low energy and lagging sex drive as they get older, popularly called the ‘manopause’.
By putting his daughter on his bare chest, the man unconsciously exposed himself to abnormally high levels of testosterone.
This led to in -depth changes in her sexual organs, where her clitoris grows longer – looks like a small penis – and her labia that closed over a male scrotum.
Although local media describes this a ‘micropenis’, this is not medically correct, because it is a specific male problem that can develop in the genitals of both boys and men.

The worried parents of the girl who at this point 10 months old were names her for doctors who quickly discovered the source of the problem through blood tests.
Fortunately, after the man no longer accidentally exposed to the girl to his testosterone gel, her genitals shrunk.
Professor Jovanna Dahlgren, an expert in pediatric endocrinology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, said that the case, who took place eight years ago, was part of half a dozen similar incidents she mentioned in her warning.
Talk to the Swedish newspaper Gothenburg PostProfessor Dahlgren said that she wanted to increase consciousness of the hazard hormone treatments that have been set to children, because more and more parents are taking them.
“I don’t think people always understand how powerful these treatments are,” she said.
“The parents become completely desperate when they understand what happened.”
She added that there had been another case in which a 10-year-old boy developed breasts after he was exposed to a female sex hormone treatment that followed his mother.
The warning comes in the midst of a flourishing industry of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) in the UK with companies that bring a number of private companies to the market that market the hormone for men.

Testosterone therapy was once reserved for a small number of men who suffer from a low level of the sex hormone.
However, it now becomes a medicine that men can help as young as 30 with a variety of small symptoms, from fatigue to muscle growth and stronger erections.
Although it is unknown how many men use private regulations of Testosterone NHS data, it suggests that around 80,000 men prescribed this to health care alone.
The risk of children’s exposure to testosterone and other hormone drugs is known in Great Britain.
In 2023, the British drug safety regulator said the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which had received a report from a British child who experienced ‘increased growth and genital expansion’ after exposure to the testoster who used their parent.
This led the MHRA to ask for warnings about the risk and warn adults to wash their hands and avoid direct skin-to-skin contact with children who are taken on testosterlongels, which has been implemented by manufacturers of medicines.
Similar warnings are given to women who use testosterone and other hormone -based medicines as part of the treatment of menopause to accidentally prevent exposure to other adults and children.
Testosterone is produced by both men and women.
Although women produce less, it still plays a crucial role in certain physical functions.
For men it is vital for muscle and bone growth, as well as activating the physical changes related to puberty – the appearance of body hair, the deepening of the voice and the arrival of a sexual drive.
Research suggests that after the age of 40 the testosterone levels of men fall by approximately 1 percent every year. For the majority of men, this means no noticeable changes.
However, some men experience an extreme fall, which leads to a condition called hypogonadism – also known as the male menopause or the ‘manopause’.
These men often report depression, loss of sex drive or erectile dysfunction. Other symptoms are bad sleep, brain fog and raised fat around the abdomen or chest muscles, leading to ‘manboobs’.
