How long is a micropenis?

A micropenis is the male member that does not reach 7 centimeters when erect. Although there are different opinions, even those who rule out this categorization, the most accepted measurements of the micro penis, or microphalosomy, are these: penises ranging from 1 to 7 centimeters in length.

When is it considered micro, small or large

From 1 to 7 centimeters is considered a micropenis. From 8 to 12 centimeters is a small penis. From 12 to 14 centimeters is a small penis but within the world standard. From 14 to 16 centimeters is a normal penis. From 16 to 18 centimeters is a large penis within the world standard. Up to 22 centimeters is a large penis. Beyond 22 centimeters we speak of a macropenis.

Contrary to what one might think, men with micropenises are relatively few, a condition that occurs in only one in 1,000. However, there are some factors and conditionsboth physical and psychological that lead one to think that someone may have a micropenis, although in reality it is within the standard measurements:

It is known as locker room syndrome The fact that most men believe that they have a smaller penis than it really is, has to do with the fact that their penis is seen from an elevated position while others see their penis from a low position. a frontal position. Overweight and excess fat in the pubic area and abdominal can hide the penis and appear to be a micropenis when in reality it is buried. On some occasions, malformations in the skin of the scrotum or poorly performed circumcisions cause the foreskin skin does not unfold correctly, causing the penis to shrink and not be able to reach its normal size.

Most cases of micropenis have to do with a lack of androgens, the male sex hormones, at some point during the fetal stage. This causes what is known as hypogonadism, incomplete genital development. Below we explain some medical conditions that can lead to a case of micropenis:

Klinefelter syndromeHypoplasia of Leydig cellsAndrogen insensitivity syndromeCongenital hypopituitarism, deficiencies in growth hormone. It has also been possible to detect a gene that is related to penis size without any type of hormonal alteration being appreciated.

Just like other parts of the body, there are those who have larger ones and those who have smaller ones, but as long as penetration is possible we cannot speak of a urological problem.
