Patient's question:
I was circumcised when I was five or six years old, and now my penis is short and small. How is this related? Please tell me what to do.Doctor's answer:
15 years old, male, who underwent circumcision at the age of 5, now feels the penis is short and wants to understand if it has been affected. Generally speaking, only having a circumcision does not have a significant impact on the growth of the penis. An experiment measured the penises of 2,411 normal males aged 16 to 40, and after summarizing the results, the normal values (in centimeters) for the penis were determined: circumference 6.9–9.4, length 5.4–9.5, stretched length 11.0–15.7, erect length 10.9–15.3, erect circumference 9.0–12.5. You are still in puberty, so focus on growth and development opportunities. If the patient is directly affected by andrological diseases, we should actively implement careful examinations and treatments, and do not avoid seeking medical attention. If andrological diseases are not cured after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch treatment plans.
