The length of the penis directly affects a man's self-esteem. In their opinion, the longer the penis, the stronger the sexual ability and the ability to meet the sexual needs of the other half. Some men are troubled and have low self-esteem because of their short penis. In fact, a harmonious sex life is not only determined by the length of the penis, but also related to mental state, psychology and physical fitness.

What is the normal length of a male penis?

The average penis length of Chinese men is about 10 to 12 centimeters. This refers to the length of the erect penis. As long as the length of the penis is within this range after erection, it is normal. The specific measurement method is: use a soft ruler against the base, which must reach the pubic bone, and then measure along the body of the penis to the end. Some people start measuring from the surface of the skin, which is prone to errors. Especially for obese people, too much fat accumulates under the skin, which will cover part of the penis length. If the length of the penis is less than 2.5 centimeters before puberty and less than 4 centimeters after puberty, and the development is abnormal, the penis has no erectile function at all, especially if it is accompanied by sexual dysfunction, secondary sexual development dysplasia, no sperm, and no fertility. It can be judged as underdevelopment or short penis.

What causes a man’s “size” to be too short?

1. It is related to genetics

Patients with short penises will have sex chromosome abnormalities, such as poly-X syndrome and polychromosomes. That is to say, there is a certain genetic tendency to have a short penis. If the father or grandfather has a short penis, the incidence of short penis in the next generation of boys will be extremely high.

2. Suffering from certain diseases

When men suffer from orchitis, testicular hypoplasia and cryptorchidism, it will lead to endocrine disorders and insufficient estrogen secretion, resulting in penile dysplasia.

3. Excessive obesity

Body obesity is the main cause of a short penis, because adipose tissue contains a large amount of aromatase, which can affect the conversion and secretion of sex hormones, thereby affecting the development of the penis, leading to a short penis. There are also obese people who have a thick fat pad above the pubic bone, which causes normal organs to be covered by fat tissue, making the penis appear short.

4. Failure to pay attention to nutrition and drug abuse during pregnancy

If women abuse drugs during pregnancy, it can affect the secretion of male hormones in the body, causing congenital deficiencies in children's production. In addition, the lack of functional nutrients during pregnancy can also lead to poor fetal development and affect the development of secondary sexual characteristics.

5. Developmental period

Adolescents are in the development period. When the body lacks male hormones, minerals, vitamin E and high-quality protein, it will also affect the development of the penis.

Warm reminder

So far, there are no specific medicines or special methods that can make the adult male penis enlarge again. Methods such as massage or negative pressure promoted in the media can only temporarily enlarge the penis and cannot substantially change it at all. However, with the development of medicine, penis lengthening surgery can be performed to cut off part of the patient's superficial and deep suspensory ligaments that restrain the main body, and then release a hidden section of the main body in the body. This can achieve the purpose of lengthening the penis. Usually, the penis can be lengthened by 3~ About 5 cm, penis enlargement surgery can not only improve the length of the penis, but also improve the male's psychological state. It is suitable for penile dysplasia and short penis caused by congenital defects. However, any surgery has certain risks, and the same is true for penis enlargement surgery. Whether the ligament is removed accurately and how much it is cut will affect the success rate of the surgery.
