Patient's question:
I was chatting with a friend one day when they said that most people's penises are short. I hadn't noticed it before, so I went home to check mine, and indeed it was tucked inside. I'm a bit overweight, but I don't know what's going on with this?Doctor's answer:
The size of the penis is affected by many factors. In obese individuals, the penis may appear smaller due to abundant fat deposits in the abdominal, pubic symphysis, and perineal areas. Often, the development of the penis is suboptimal, making it relatively shorter compared to that of normal-weight males. This penis shortness can have a certain impact on sexual life, and severe obesity may even lead to the inability to complete sexual activity. The first step is to lose weight, followed by medication treatment!
