Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 13, have been masturbating for 3 years, 5 or 6 times a week, and currently have a normal length of 4.5 cm when flaccid and 7.5 cm when erect. Is this normal? Will it continue to develop? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms, the patient should have micropenis, which is caused by excessive sexual intercourse leading to kidney Yang deficiency. Kidney Yang deficiency results in endocrine disorders in the nourishing and moisturizing function, thus causing micropenis and overall fatigue. It is recommended to take warm-kidney and Yang-boosting medications, follow a low-salt and low-fat diet, and avoid smoking and alcohol. Male penis generally reaches full development and maturity around the age of 18. It is best to avoid frequent sexual intercourse, as it can easily lead to prostate diseases. In severe cases, it may interfere with fertility. It is advised to abstain from sexual intercourse and pay attention to daily activities and exercise.
