During puberty, the boy begins to grow rapidly, he has a deeper voice, a male skeleton is formed, hair on the face and genital area appears, and, of course, the genitals grow.
During this period, adolescents are very vulnerable, as they turn into men, and worry about whether they are developing normally or have any abnormalities.
Often, boys are worried about the size of their penis, or rather, it seems that their penis is small, and they are already figuring out how to enlarge it.
In this case, it is very important to tell why it is impossible to enlarge the penis at the age of 14 years. Find out what the consequences are if you don’t follow these recommendations. In addition, you need to know how many centimeters a teenager needs to have, and also understand what to do if a teenager says I have a small dick.
Is it normal or not?
How can a teenager and his or 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 is pathology.
Puberty occurs in all boys in different ways: some earlier, while others a little later. On average, it starts at the age of 9-14 years, in some cases, the period of puberty can be delayed and occur at 15-16, but this is also normal, and for the remaining two years until the age of 18, the body will make up for lost time.
It should also be noted that it is very important to listen to a teenager at this age, and if he says that I have a small penis, or it does not grow, go to the doctor for advice. So how much penis should be in adolescence?
Average penis size during adolescence:
- At the age of 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 the penis at the age of 13 is not more than 7 centimeters, with an erection it reaches 13 cm. And if a 13 -year -old teenager claims that my penis is 30% smaller than average, but this is not uncommon.
- At the age of 14, the penis at rest has increased, when compared with 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 an upright position up to 15 cm.
- At 16, during rest, the length of the penis can reach 8. 5 cm, and in the excited state, 16-17 cm.
It is necessary to talk about interesting features of male physiology. Often an 18 -year -old man comes to the doctor and says that my penis has decreased, if compared to the previous year, why is this?
Medical practice faces this all the time, as it is common. The fact is that at 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 masculinity cycle changes slightly during puberty. For example, the average size of a penis at a circumference of 15 years is 8-9 centimeters.
What affects penis growth?
Boys who are worried about the size of their male organs 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 they look for excuses that will help them solve distant problems. Given this, it is very important to voice the real reasons that influence the development of masculinity.
The development of boys during puberty is greatly influenced by the levels of male hormones in the blood. The more testosterone in the body, the bigger the penis. That is why it is very important to monitor penis growth to see the lack of testosterone synthesis in time.
It is very important for parents to listen to their child, because they will find out about his concerns anyway, the main thing is that it is not too late. And if a teenager says, I have this and that penis size, it is necessary to voice him information of what is considered normal and what is not. Adolescent psychological calm during puberty is equally important.
Factors that affect the development of male organs:
- Environment.
- Descendants.
- 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 it has an indirect effect, which has a negative effect on the growth of the phallus.
According to physicians, smoking in childhood not only has a negative effect on the body as a whole, but also the growth of the penis.
After all, the vessels of smokers, which are saturated with nicotine and tar, lose their elasticity, as a result of which blood circulation is disrupted. During the formation of the genitals, these factors can affect the growth of the penis.
It should also be noted that in some cases, the onset of late puberty is common, but there are other situations that indicate a hormonal imbalance in the body.
In this case, if a teenager says that my penis is not growing, or it is too small, it is necessary to see a doctor immediately.
Hormone therapy may be needed to normalize the levels of male hormones in the blood.
Psychological characteristics of adolescents
As noted above, all men 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 influencing 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 boasted in the dressing room that my penis was already 16 centimeters or more, while others said I had more.
Unfortunately, teenagers tend to exaggerate, but other boys may not understand this, and begin to panic that their penis at the age of 14 corresponds to the average norm of 14-15 cm, So, what to do in such a situation?
- First, the adolescent not only had to explain in words what parameters were considered normal, but also to indicate the average medical value.
- Second, to clarify that it is impossible to enlarge the penis, because the penis grows and grows, and it will certainly form at the age of 18 years.
- Third, if the boy is very worried, which affects his health, you can see a doctor so that he confirms normal development.
- Fourth, when all the words are meaningless, the teen sticks to his stance, claiming his friend has a much bigger penis, you can offer to enlarge his penis through an active lifestyle and proper nutrition.
Many doctors agree that both the quality of nutrition and physical activity during puberty affect the growth and development of the penis. Some doctors argue that it won’t work to enlarge the penis this way, but it will work to speed up its growth a bit and calm the teen.
Given this, you can do any type of exercise, adding healthy foods enriched with fiber, protein, vitamins, and micro-elements that are useful to your diet.
In any case, the age of 12-15 years is not only puberty, which is a secondary sexual feature, but also the formation of the mental state of the boy, which is no less important. That is why it is important to understand normal penis size and what is pathological.
