Patient's question:
Recently, I had sex with my girlfriend who has had several boyfriends before. She said my penis is much smaller than many other people's. What could be the reason? Is there any way to solve this? In fact, I noticed that there isn't much difference, because I used to have phimosis. Now, however, there's nothing wrong, but my penis was thicker when it was covered by the foreskin, and now it feels smaller. At the same time, I have a habit of masturbation, and recently I've noticed that my erection isn't as strong as it used to be. What could be the matter with that?Doctor's answer:
The penis of a man, like height, weight, and facial features, varies greatly in length, thickness, and other aspects. In general, the normal length of a male penis is up to 14.5 cm, with the shortest being 4 cm, averaging around 8 cm. The circumference can range from a maximum of 12 cm to a minimum of 4.5 cm, with an average of 8.3 cm. When erect, the longest length is 16 cm, the shortest is 9 cm, and the average is around 12 cm. The maximum circumference during erection is 14 cm, the minimum is 8 cm, and the average is 10.75 cm. Additionally, factors such as region and race can also influence these measurements, making it difficult to determine what is considered normal. What matters most is the harmony between a couple.
