Patient's question:
I want to ask the following: My penis is only 9 cm long when erect, but my sexual life is normal. Is this a problem? Is it considered micropenis? If so, what should I do? Thank youDoctor's answer:
In the natural state, the penis of a normal adult male is 7-9 cm long, and in the erect state, it is 11-16 cm long. Penis shortening refers to a penis that is less than 4 cm in the natural state and less than 8 cm in the erect state. Penis shortening can make men feel inferior, unable to achieve satisfactory results during sexual activity, and directly affect the quality of sexual life. Generally, based on the physiological characteristics of different men and the need for elongation, penile elongation surgery can be performed to extend the extracorporeal part of the penis by 3-5 cm. The surgery has minimal trauma, and the wound is located at the base of the penis, in a hidden position, which does not affect postoperative aesthetics, thereby improving the quality of sexual life.
