Patient's question:
I have been fat since childhood. Currently, I am 175 cm tall and weigh 115 kg.I am 21 years old now. My penis is short. Usually, it is only 3 cm long. When erect, it measures 8 cm.
Doctor's answer:
Penile shortening is an abnormal phenomenon, referring to the condition where the length and circumference of the penis in adult males under normal room temperature and physiological conditions are less than the average values of normal males. In a natural state, the penis of an adult male is 7-9 cm long and 6.9-9.4 cm in circumference; when erect, it measures 11-16 cm long and 10.8 cm in circumference. If you are not satisfied with your current condition, treatment is also available. Whether penile shortening requires treatment mainly depends on whether it affects sexual function. If it impacts normal sexual activity, surgery may be necessary. However, if it is simply penile shortening without affecting sexual function or fertility, treatment may not be required. Generally, the treatment for penile shortening involves penile elongation surgery.
