Is this normal? my 13 year old son so hairy?

Question

Hey,

ok.. well every year we go for a checkyup at the pediatrician after my son's birthday,

so after his 13th birthday, they did the usual, checked his breathing his ear etc..

then the pediatrician asked my son to take off his shirt just to make sure everything was alright so he did and to my surprise he was a HAIRY BEAST!

he is only 13 and he had a happy trail (hair on his navel) and hair in between his nipples and i was surprised because i havent seen hiim shirtless for so long. the doctor was quite shocked as well.

then he asked him to take off his pants and he was there sitting with nothing on but his boxers and i already knew he had hairy legs, then the doctor asked my son if it was alright to put his hands down his boxers to make everyhting is alright, my son agreed and he did o.. the doctor was shocked.. he immediatley asked if he could take off his boxers and he did and the doctor asked if it was ok if i stayed in the room and my son said it was ok.. so he did and we couldn't believe his whole groin area was covered with hair, and more supprisingly, his soft p***s was about 6/7 inches long:O

i was shocked and i asked the doctor if this was normal and everyhting,, and all he said was that he's going throught puberty really early..

i don't know what to do.. did anyone experience this at such an early age? and is this normal? what should i dooo?

Answer 1

this is normal, everyone is different and matures at different times.

Answer 2

omg call 911 he is hairy... so what? its killing you?

Answer 3

This is normal, everyone matures at different stages. The doctor is correct. He's just an early bloomer.

Answer 4

if the dr says its ok, then guess what, its ok!!!

everybody goes thru puberty at different times!!

have you ever seen those guys with hair all over and they look like bears? they probably have hairy legs to! and hairy pubic areas! its ok!

and why would it matter if his soft dingaling is 6 inches? is your husband small??

what should you do?? have the birds and the bees chat and tell him about protection like all other parents do.

Answer 5

Ok look first of all I have a 12 yr old son and he began puberty at 9, just as I did, so I wasn't shocked. Nothing to worry about. Secondly when I take my son for his physical I do go in the room but out of respect for him when its time to drop his drawers I turn my back. My son and I are very close and he talks to me about everything, but the last thought either of us wants is of me seeing his practically grown self naked. So lay off you can't stop nature but you can give him a major complex.

Answer 6

What do you mean what should you do? He's growing up. All kids have hair by 13. One of my boys had to shave his face at 12.

Why in the world would you not have seen your son with out a shirt on? If you live in the same house there is no way you wouldn't see him.

Also there is no way a doctor would be surprised that he had pubic hair. It would be a surprise if he didn't I'd say.

I can't imagine a doctor asking him to drop his boxers either.

Are you making this question up?

It doesn't sound correct.  Especially the what should I do part. What do you think we'd say, shave his body?

BTW, boys p***s' also grow when they hit puberty just like the rest of them.

Answer 7

13 is not early at all.  If the doctor was shocked, then he must new or something.  I know 13 year olds that shave.  What do you mean "What should I do"?  Do you really think that there is something you can do IF this story were in fact true?

Answer 8

I'm sure it's normal. It sounds like he's got lots of hormones going on-- try to cut out on hormone heavy foods, like milk, if you have little kids. He's already developed, so you can't turn back time.

It's really nothing to worry about, but it's a really funny story!  

Answer 9

The doctor wasn't worried, so he didn't think it was a problem.

Anyway, everyone matures at different rates. Your son's an early bloomer. You can't die from that lol. Nothing to worry about.

What to do? Don't do anything.

Answer 10

It's normal. Maybe it's time you had "the talk". And if he wants to shave he can. If he doesn't that's OK. All kids go through puberty, whether it's early or late or in between.  

Answer 11
