Dear Ask The Doctor: I'm a 23 yr old male. I have a penis which is 4.5 inches in length and 4.5 inches girth when erect. Is it normal?
Dear Anand: Measuring the penis when it isn't erect is pointless, since the length and bulk are affected by various temporary factors, such as the ambient temperature. However, at normal temperatures a non-erect penis usually measures between 8.5cm and 10.5cm (3-4 inches) from tip to base. The average figure is about 9.5cm (3.75 inches). If you are concerned about your penis length, you may need to consult a urologist. There are special extending frame devices that try to stretch the penis. Also penile-lengthening surgery can be offered to men with severe shortening due to congenital abnormalities. |
