Abstract

Background: Anogenital distance (AGD) is a feasible and accepted parameter of exogenous or endogenous androgens effects on development of reproductive system.Objectives: Since there is no report on penile length (PL) and AGD in our region, we investigated these parameters in MALE newborns in Golestan Province, IRAN.Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we measured stretched PL and AGD in term newborns from different races in Dezyani Gynecologic Hospital of Gorgan, IRAN. We also recorded the anthropometric parameters and maternal age. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 14.Results: Means of PL and AGD of 427 healthy term newborns were 32.1±3.5 and 24.5±2.5 mm, respectively. There was a positive correlation between PL and AGD (r=0.097, P=0.046). According to their ethnicity, there were 166 Fars (38.9%), 129 Turkmen (30.2%), and 132 Sistani (30.9%) infants with mean PL of respectively 31.8±3.9, 32.3±3.3, and 32.4±3.3 mm and mean AGD of respectively 25 ± 2.5, 24.3±2.5, and 24±2.5 mm. One Fars neonate (0.23%) had micropenis (PL=21.3 mm).Conclusions: Using -2.5 standard deviations as the cutoff for micropenis, a newborn infant in Golestan Province with a PL of<23.3 mm had micropenis; however, more investigations are needed to clarify this issue.
