Symptom #3: Small Genitals

You would not really expect for babies to have well-developed genitals when they are born. After all, it will be some time before they are used for anything other than urination. Regardless, the genitals of babies with Prader-Willi syndrome will still be somewhat less developed than those of other babies.

In boys, the penis may be particularly small. Their testicles are also likely to be very small and they may not even have descended from the abdomen at all. In girls, both the clitoris and the labia are likely to be much smaller than usual. It is a symptom that often goes overlooked in such young children.
