The study was conducted from December 2019 to April 2021. All patients received a clinical examination including measurement of penis size before and after hormonal treatment. The patients were divided into two random groups, each group received a different drug, the first arm was treated with transdermal dihydrotestosterone (27 patients) and the second arm was treated with testosterone enanthate (22 patients). The Trial registration number was researchregistry7745.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The majority of the patients were children. The mean age was 9.7\u2009\u00b1\u20094.4\u2009years. In the first arm, the mean penile size increased from \u22122.42 SD to \u22120.7 SD with a gain of 2.37\u2009cm on average. In the second arm, the mean size increased from \u22122.48 SD to \u22120.69 SD, with a gain of 1.82\u2009cm on average. The increase in penile size in the first arm was significantly greater than in the second arm ( P\u2009=\u2009.008). No side effects were detected in both arms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In the present study, we demonstrated the superiority of transdermal DHT compared to injectable exogenous testosterone in the treatment of idiopathic micropenis.
