Small penis - Causes, symptoms and treatment. MF.

Active growth of the penis begins with the onset of puberty and ends with the end of this period. At what age a member grows - individually for every man, on average from 13 to 23-24 years of age, but it is impossible to say in advance that he will grow up( for example, at age 18).Some scientific evidence shows that the penis grows throughout life( like the nose of a person), only very slowly. About the beginning of the period of puberty testify also to other signs: the skin of the scrotum and penis becomes thinner, darker than before, hair appears, the voice breaks, the body grows faster, appears pollutants or semen during masturbation.

A small penis is a penis, whose length in the state of erection is 9 - 12 centimeters. The average size in a penis erection condition in men of the Caucasian race is about 12 to 16 centimeters, the average length of the penis beyond the erection is 8.8 cm. This is not a pathology of .In 95% of men, the length of the penis in the state of erection is from 10.7 to 19.1 cm - this is the so-called confidence interval, indicating the limits of the norm.

The pathology will be the micropeniasis , the length of which is in an erection state less than 9 centimeters .It is also worth knowing that the micropenis needs to be distinguished from the latent penis syndrome, which arises from the excessive development of the fatty tissue of the pubic region or enlarged foreskin.

Measurement is performed in a standing position, along the upper surface of the penis, from the pubis to the tip of the head. The ruler should only touch the pubis, and not dig into the body. For reliable results, several measurements are taken with a time interval, since the length depending on the mood and the degree of excitation can vary by 0.5-1 cm.

Possible causes of the penis being very small.

. It is necessary to distinguish between micropenia and a small normal penis. The length of your growth rate and size is laid down gynetically, while micropenia, as a rule, is caused by diseases. The causes of the micropeniasis are usually endocrine disorders( namely, a deficiency of androgens), mainly during embryonic development and puberty.

Androgen deficiency occurs in the following diseases:

• congenital - cryptorchidism, anarchism, Klinefelter syndrome( and similar), Noonan, del Castil, Callaman, Pasculani, Maddock, Reifenstein, craniopharyngioma;
• acquired - infectious and inflammatory testicular lesions, testicles, testicular tumors, medicamentous, temperature, radiation and other effects on the testes, infectious and inflammatory, traumatic and tumor lesions of the pituitary and hypothalamic region, hyperprolactinemic syndrome, Itenko-Cushing's disease, adrenal tumors,diabetes.

In addition to micropenia, the following symptoms are possible during puberty and at its conclusion:

• infertility,
• asthenic and disproportionate physique,
• shoulders narrow,
• pelvis wide,
• lack or mild body growth of male type,
• reduced sizetesticles,
• delayed mental development,
• deformation of the auricles,
• defects and abnormalities of development of other organs and systems,
• obesity,
• erectile dysfunction,
• depression.

In the presence of the above symptoms, after about 15 years, immediately, immediately( after detection), consult a doctor .

To which doctor to apply for microprenia

To begin with, to the general, which will decide where to go next. You may need to consult doctors of such specialties( individually or collectively): urologist, andrologist, endocrinologist, geneticist.

Doctors will conduct a screening and prescribe appropriate tests and studies, among them

• determination of plasma hormone levels,
• ejaculate test for evaluation of reproductive function,

How to enlarge a small member of

Independently it is not recommended to treat this symptom( various widely advertised tablets and ointments), especially traditional medicine. Accelerate growth and increase the size of the penis itself is impossible: the use of hormones, suspension of cargo, specific exercises with the member or some reflex points, miracle herbs and dietary supplements have never led to success.

Enlarge the penis in a hospital at the same time is not so difficult, there are special methods( operational and not), which you will tell the doctor. An increase of 2-5 cm is possible only in an operative way, in the absence of contraindications. This issue is solved only internally, at a reception with an experienced surgeon.

It is much more important to identify the disease, which led to the fact that the penis is very small. And, as can be seen above, almost all diseases are quite serious. It is clear that hereditary pathology can not be cured, but the rest can be successfully managed, especially if they are detected early.

Member in a state of erection more than 12 cm is the norm

For normal sexual life, the dimensions of the penis have no decisive significance. The presence of an erection is important!
