Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Because I feel my genital organ is too small, and I want to have surgery, but I'm worried about potential complications. Since I don't have children yet, I would like to ask the doctor if I can undergo surgery for this.
First follow-up question: Doctor, when my penis is erect, it is only 11 centimeters long, and the diameter might be as small as 2.5 centimeters. Although it can still perform normal sexual intercourse, I feel it's still not ideal! Please give me more advice, thank you!
Doctor's answer:
The penis is 7-9 centimeters in a flaccid state and about 11-16 centimeters when erect. If the penis is less than 5 centimeters in a flaccid state and less than 10 centimeters when erect, it can be considered micropenis. For most men, the sexual maturity age is 18, and development is basically complete. The penis, like height, weight, and facial features, varies greatly among individuals. You can come in for a check-up at your convenience. The measurement method must be standardized. It cannot be determined as small just by looking at it. As long as it is within the normal range and has normal function, it is acceptable. If micropenis occurs, surgical lengthening can be considered. Currently, there are no medications that can achieve the desired effect.
