Patient's question:
How to identify the length of the male genitalia? I don't know if my penis is normal, it feels a bit short. How can I identify the length of the male genitalia?Doctor's answer:
The correct method for measuring penis length is as follows: When the penis is flaccid, stand in an upright position, hold the penis with your hand, and firmly press one end of a ruler against the pubic symphysis, trying to compress the subcutaneous fat layer as much as possible. Read the number with the other end of the ruler using the urethral meatus of the glans penis as the reference. However, note that the length of the foreskin should not be included in the measurement. The same method is used to measure the length during erection. The penis length of adult males in China is normal when flaccid (4.5-8.6 cm) and during erection (9-16 cm). If a man is dissatisfied with the length of his genitalia, penile elongation surgery can be performed to achieve an extension.
