During puberty, the boy begins to develop rapidly, has a deeper voice, a male skeleton is formed, facial hair and pubic region appear, and, of course, the genitals grow.
During this time, adolescents are particularly vulnerable, because they turn into men and worry if they are developing normally or if they have deviations.
Quite often, guys worry about the size of their penis, or rather, it seems to them that their penis is small and they are already thinking about how to make it bigger.
In this regard, it is very important to say why it is impossible to enlarge the penis at the age of 14. Find out what the consequences can be if you don't follow this recommendation. Also, you need to find out how many inches a teenager should be and also figure out what to do if a teenager says I have a small dick.
is this normal or not?
How can a teenager and her parents understand what is normal and what is considered a deviation from the norm? Here you need to carefully understand what is considered the norm in the modern world and what pathology is.
Puberty occurs in all boys in different ways: some earlier, while others a little later. On average, it begins at 9-14 years, in some cases, the pubertal period can be delayed and occurs at 15-16 years, but this is also normal and for the remaining two years until the age of 18, the body make up for lost time.
It is also worth noting that it is very important to listen to a teenager at this age and if she says I have a small penis or it doesn't grow, go to the doctor for advice. So how much should a penis be in adolescence?
Average penis size in adolescence:
- At 12, the penis in a relaxed state is about 5-6 centimeters, and with an erection it reaches 10-11 cm.
- The resting length of a penis at 13 does not exceed 7 centimeters, with an erection it reaches 13 cm and if a 13-year-old teenager claims that my penis is 30% smaller than the average, but this is not normal.
- At the age of 14, the penis at rest is already increasing, compared to the age of 13, by 1 cm and with an erection of 2 cm.
- The size of the penis at the age of 15 in a relaxed state will vary from 7 to 8 centimeters, and in a standing position up to 15 cm.
- At 16, at rest, the length of the penis can reach 8. 5 cm, and in a state of arousal, 16-17 cm.
It is necessary to talk about an interesting feature of male physiology. Often an 18 year old boy comes to the doctor and says that my penis has shrunk, compared to the previous year, why is this?
Medical practice is continually faced with this, because it is normal. The fact is that by the age of 18 in young people the penis becomes thicker, as a result of which it can lose several millimeters in length, more precisely up to 5.
The girth of manhood changes slightly during puberty. For example, the average penis size at 15 years of circumference will be 8-9 centimeters.
What Affects Penis Growth?
Guys who are concerned about the size of their male organ sometimes come up with non-existent factors that supposedly affect their growth and development.
On the one hand, this is normal, teenagers are already mature people and therefore look for reasons that will help them solve implausible problems. In view of this, it is extremely important to express the real reasons influencing the development of masculinity.
The development of boys during puberty is strongly influenced by the level of the male hormone in the blood. The more testosterone there is in the body, the bigger the penis will be. That is why it is very important to monitor the growth of the penis to notice the lack of testosterone synthesis over time.
It is very important that parents listen to their child, because they will discover his concerns anyway, the important thing is that it is not too late. And if a teenager says, I have such and such a penis size, it is necessary to give him the information on what is considered normal and what is not. Equally important is the psychological calm of adolescents during puberty.
Factors affecting the development of the male organ:
- Environment.
- Inheritance.
- The presence of genital trauma.
- Endocrine Disorders.
- The presence of bad habits.
It cannot be said that all these factors directly affect the growth of the penis, but they have an indirect effect, which negatively affects the growth of the phallus.
According to medical experts, smoking in childhood not only adversely affects the body as a whole, but also the growth of the penis.
After all, the vessels of a smoking person, which are saturated with nicotine and tar, lose their elasticity, as a result of which blood circulation is disturbed. During the formation of the genitals, this factor can adversely affect the growth of the penis.
It is also worth noting that in some cases, late onset of puberty is normal, but there are other situations that signal a hormonal imbalance in the body.
In this case, if a teenager says my penis is not growing, or it is too small, it is necessary to see a doctor promptly.
Hormone therapy may be needed to normalize the level of the male hormone in the blood.
Characteristics of adolescent psychology
As noted above, all boys enter puberty at different times. In addition, each of them will have their own penis size, depending on the individual characteristics of the teenager and the factors affecting the development of the genitals.
At the age of 13-15, boys begin to feel like men and share intimate information with each other. Some of them brag in the locker room that my penis is already 16 centimeters or more, while others say I have even more.
Unfortunately, teens tend to overdo it, but other guys may not understand this and start panicking that their penis at the age of 14 matches the average norm of 14-15cm What, then, to do in such a situation?
- First, the teenager must not only explain in words which parameters are considered normal, but also show the average medical values.
- Secondly, to explain that it will not be possible to enlarge the penis, because the penis develops and grows, and will certainly form at the age of 18.
- Thirdly, if the boy is very worried, which affects his health, you can consult a doctor so that he confirms normal development.
- Fourth, when all the words have no meaning, the teenager holds her position, claiming that her friends have a much bigger penis, you can offer to enlarge his penis through an active lifestyle and proper supply.
Many doctors agree that both nutritional quality and physical activity during puberty affect penis growth and development. Some doctors claim that it won't work to enlarge the penis in this way, but it will work to speed up its growth a bit and calm the teen down.
In view of this, you can do any kind of sport, add healthy foods enriched with fiber, proteins, vitamins and useful microelements to your diet.
In any case, the age of 12-15 is not only puberty, which is a secondary sexual characteristic, but also the formation of the boy's mental state, which is no less important. That is why it is imperative to understand which penis size is normal and what a pathology is.
