Patient's question:
Patient Gender: My penis is 8 cm long when erect. Is this considered micropenis?First Follow-up Question: My penis is only slightly over 2 cm in flaccid state, and it remains 8 cm when erect (I had a circumcision last year. Before the surgery, due to excessive foreskin, the shaft was not restricted during erection. However, because too much foreskin was removed, the shaft does not extend fully during erection, and the scrotum is pulled out by the shaft. It hurts slightly during intercourse when applying force, which is very distressing). I heard from ads and read in papers that the penis can be enlarged. Is this true? Also, my foreskin was cut too short. Even if the shaft grows, it will be limited by the foreskin.
Doctor's answer:
Hello. An adult penis is 11-16 cm long and 10.8 cm in circumference when erect; in a natural state, it is 7-9 cm long and 6.9-9.4 cm in circumference. Micropenis can be treated through surgery. The most effective method currently is penile elongation surgery.
