Patient's question:
My penis is usually 2-3 centimeters long, slightly shorter in winter, but when I have a strong urge to urinate, it feels like 4-6 centimeters. When erect, it measures 11-12 centimeters. Is that considered short?Doctor's answer:
A sample survey indicates that the length of the penis of Chinese men without erection ranges from 11 cm to 3 cm, with an average of 6 cm; the diameter ranges from 4.0 cm to 1.5 cm, with an average of 2.5 cm. When erect, the penis length ranges from 18 cm to 8 cm, with an average of 12 cm. You are normal. Additionally, if you are under 25, there will still be further development, and the penis generally grows to its full size around the age of 25. Moreover, during sexual activity, length is not the most important factor (the most sensitive area of the female vagina is concentrated around the first 7 cm, so theoretically, a penis just needs to be over 7 cm to satisfy women.)
