my son is 13 and had his school phsucal today. the doctor took me aside and refered me to an endocinologist because she said his penis was only the size of a 3 or 4 year old.  what causes that can it be fixed ? and what is the relationship between that and an endocrinilogist

I think your Dr. wants to make sure your son doesn't have a growth hormone deficiency.  It's complicated but worth reading up on before your 1st appointment.
