Patient's question:
Hello, I have never had sexual intercourse before, and I am about to have my first time, but I don’t know what size condom is suitable for me. Please advise. My penis is about 12 cm long when erect and has a diameter of around 3.5 cm. I wonder if these measurements are sufficient!!!Can I use birth control pills? If so, which type is better?
Also, some people say that an erect penis reaching 8-12 cm is normal, but some drugstores and medical equipment sellers claim that it must be at least 14 cm to be considered normal. I don’t know if my penis is too small. Please advise!!! Thank you!!!
Doctor's answer:
Condom sizes come in 4 types, and the size classification for condoms across different brands is standardized.Guidelines:
Condoms with a nominal width of 55 mm are labeled as large condoms, corresponding to an opening diameter of 35 mm.
Condoms with a nominal width of 52 mm are labeled as medium condoms, corresponding to an opening diameter of 33 mm.
Condoms with a nominal width of 49 mm are labeled as small condoms, corresponding to an opening diameter of 31 mm.
Condoms with a nominal width of 48 mm are labeled as extra-small condoms, corresponding to an opening diameter of 29 mm.
Users can choose different sizes and appearances of condoms based on their own and their partner's specific needs. This not only enhances sexual quality but also ensures safety.
