I am 18 years old and my penis hasn't grown yet. Is that normal?

Patient's question:

I am eighteen years old, but my penis hasn't grown yet, and my hair has grown.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there is a significant individual variation in penis length. Generally, an erection of about 10 cm is normal, and there is no need to worry. In adults, an erect penis is typically 11-16 cm long, and in a natural state, it is 7-9 cm long. For most men, sexual maturity is reached around the age of 18, and development is almost complete. If there are any pathological conditions, it may lead to what we call delayed puberty development. When measuring the penis, it should be done in room temperature and a natural state, with the ruler firmly pressed against the pubic bone. Some people may not pay attention to these details, leading to inaccurate measurements, especially in obese individuals. Excessive fat in the perineum and above the pubic bone can make the penis appear short and small, but it is actually normal.
