During adolescence, the boy begins to grow rapidly, has a deeper voice, a male skeleton is formed, facial and pubic hair appears and, of course, the genitals grow.
During this period, adolescents are particularly vulnerable because they become men and worry about whether they are growing normally or having abnormalities.
Most of the time, boys are worried 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 enlarge it.
In this regard, it is very important to say why it is impossible to enlarge the penis at the age of 14 years. Find out what the consequences might be if you do not heed this recommendation. In addition, you need to know how many inches a teenager should have and also understand what to do if a teenager says I have a little bird.
Is it normal or not?
How can a teenager and his parents understand what is normal and what is considered a deviation from the norm? Here you must carefully understand what is considered the rule in the modern world and what is pathology.
Adolescence occurs in all boys in different ways: some earlier, some a little later. On average, it starts at 9-14 years old, in some cases, the period of adolescence may be delayed and appear at 15-16, but this is also normal, and for the remaining two years until the age of 18, body will 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 he says I have a small penis or it is not growing, go to the doctor for advice. So how much should a penis be in adolescence?
Average penis size in adolescence:
- At the age of 12, the penis in a relaxed state is about 5-6 cm and with an erection it reaches 10-11 cm.
- The resting length of a penis at 13 years is not more than 7 cm, with an erection it reaches 13 cm. And if a 13-year-old teenager claims that my penis is 30% shorter than average, but this is not normal.
- At the age of 14, the penis at rest already increases, compared to the age of 13 by 1 cm and with an erection by 2 cm.
- The size of the penis at the age of 15 in a relaxed state will range from 7 to 8 cm and in an upright position up to 15 cm.
- At 16, at rest, the length of the penis can reach 8. 5 cm and in an aroused state at 16-17 cm.
It is necessary to talk about an interesting feature of male physiology. Often an 18-year-old man comes to the doctor and says that my penis has shrunk, compared to last year, why is this happening?
Medical practice treats this constantly, because it is normal. 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 specifically, up to 5.
The circumference of manhood changes very slightly during adolescence. For example, the average penis size at 15 years in circumference will be 8-9 cm.
What affects penile development?
Boys who are concerned about the size of their male organ sometimes find non-existent factors that are supposed to affect its growth and development.
On the one hand, this is normal, teenagers are already mature people and therefore looking for reasons that will help them solve long-standing problems. With this in mind, it is extremely important to express the real reasons that influence the development of masculinity.
The development of boys during adolescence is greatly affected 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 in time.
It is very important for parents to listen to their child, because they will learn about his concerns anyway, the main thing is not to be too late. And if a teenager says, I have such a penis size, it is necessary to tell him the information what is considered normal and what is not. The psychological calm of adolescents during adolescence is just as important.
Factors that affect the development of the male organ:
- Environment.
- Heredity.
- The presence of trauma to the genitals.
- Endocrine Disorders.
- The presence of bad habits.
We can not say that all these factors directly affect the development of the penis, but they have an indirect effect, which negatively affects the development of the phallus.
According to experts, smoking in childhood not only negatively affects the body as a whole, but also the development of the penis.
In addition, a smoker's vessels, which are saturated with nicotine and tar, lose their elasticity, disrupting blood circulation. During the formation of the genitals, this factor can adversely affect the development of the penis.
It is also worth noting that in some cases, the late onset of puberty is normal, but there are other conditions that signal a hormonal imbalance in the body.
In this case, if a teenager says that my penis is not growing or is very small, it is necessary to consult a doctor immediately.
Hormone therapy may be needed to normalize the level of male hormone in the blood.
Characteristics of adolescent psychology
As noted above, all boys enter adolescence at different times. Also, each of them will have its own penis size, depending on the individual characteristics of the teenager and the factors that affect the development of the genitals.
At the age of 13-15, boys begin to feel like men and share personal information with each other. Some of them brag in the locker room that my penis is already 16 cm or more, while others say I have even more.
Unfortunately, teens tend to exaggerate, but other boys may not realize it and start panicking that their penis at the age of 14 corresponds to an average of 14-15 cm. So what to do in such a situation;
- First, the adolescent needs not only to explain in words which parameters are considered normal, but also to show the average medical values.
- Secondly, let me explain that it will not be possible to enlarge the penis, because the penis grows and grows and will definitely form by the age of 18.
- Third, if the boy is very worried, which affects his health, you can consult a doctor to confirm normal development.
- Fourth, when all the words do not make sense, the teenager stands in his place, claiming that his friends have a much bigger penis, you can offer to enlarge his penis through an active lifestyle and proper nutrition.
Many doctors agree that both nutritional quality and physical activity during adolescence affect the growth and development of the penis. Some doctors claim that penis enlargement will not work this way, but it will work to speed up its growth a bit and calm the teenager.
With this in mind, you can do any kind of sport, add to your diet healthy foods enriched with fiber, protein, vitamins and useful micronutrients.
In any case, the age of 12-15 years is not only adolescence, 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 what penis size is normal and what pathology.
