Patient's question:
Can a short penis be treated? How can a penis be considered too small?Doctor's answer:
The normal length of the penis in a flaccid state is 4—12 centimeters. Liu Liu said that because the penis varies significantly in a flaccid state—such as when it is tense, fatigued, or cold—the penis tends to shorten relatively. However, after full erection, its size remains relatively stable. Therefore, the best time to measure is when the penis is fully erect. A length of 12—14 centimeters after erection is considered normal. To measure the penis, use the thumb and index finger to pinch the coronal sulcus of the glans, while slightly applying force with a ruler against the pubic symphysis at the base of the penis. The length from the glans (urethral meatus) to the base of the penis is the measured result.
