During puberty, when the boy’s puberty occurs, the size of the penis changes. This process is based on a special mechanism, which is triggered by the production of gonadoliberin in the hypothalamus.
Boys at the age of 10-13 years are already starting to worry about penis size, they are starting to wonder what size is normal, how many centimeters should it be?
To answer all these questions, it is necessary to understand the peculiarities of the physiological development of adolescents at the age of 10-13 years, to find out what are the dynamics of penis growth.
Physiological features of development of boys
The formation of the genital organs occurs in the 16th week of a woman's pregnancy, during this period it is already possible to determine the sex of the unborn baby. Initially, the head of the penis is formed, after the corpora cavernosa.
When a baby is born, as a rule, its dimensions do not exceed 2. 5 cm During childhood, which lasts up to 10 years, the penis increases slightly, only 4 cm.
At the age of 10-13 years, the pituitary gland develops in adolescence, and the production of male hormones becomes more intense.
The main signs of puberty appear, the penis begins to grow faster and change its size, this growth occurs throughout the period of puberty.
Many boys aged 10-13 years say that my penis size is 5-6 cm, is this a normal size, and how can I enlarge it? It should be reminded immediately that there is no need to increase in any way, the member will grow on its own. So what size is considered normal:
- 10-12 years at a break of 4-5 cm, with an erection length is 10-12 cm, thickness is 7 cm.
- 13 years in a calm state 5-6 cm, with an erection length of 12-13 cm, thickness 9. 5 cm.
- 14 years rest 7-9 cm, with an erection length of 13-15 cm, thickness 10 cm.
- 15 years rest 7-9 cm, with an erection length of 13-15, thickness 10. 5 cm.
- 16 years rest 9-10 cm, with an erection length of 15-16 cm, thickness 11 cm.
- 17-18 years at rest 10-12 cm, with an erection of 16-17 cm, thickness 13 cm.
It is important to note immediately that all indicators are averages, so it must be viewed from a subjective point of view. It is impossible to specify specifically how many centimeters a member of any particular boy should have, size is an individual characteristic.
If a boy aged 10-13 years old says that I have a small penis, in fact no, the growth process is intense. And only at the age of 18 can draw any conclusions.
As a rule, puberty ends at the age of 18-19 years, in some cases the size can change up to 22 years.
In some cases, the penis can be corrected altogether, and at the age of 18-19 it will shrink by about 5 mm, this is due to an increase in its thickness.
What influences teen penis size?
The process of formation of secondary sexual characteristics of any man is influenced by the levels of male hormones, in particular testosterone.
The higher the level of this hormone during puberty, the larger the final size of the penis.
In this case, monitoring the growth of the penis is very important. If there is a growth delay, the boy says that I have a small penis, you must immediately contact a doctor who will prescribe a hormonal agent that activates penis growth.
In addition, the following factors affect penis size:
- Descendants.
- Environment.
- Genital trauma.
- Endocrine disorders.
- If teens start smoking early, drink alcohol.
If growth, eye color, etc. can be inherited, then penis size can also be transmitted, in addition, its growth and developmental characteristics.
When a teenager starts smoking early, it is safe to say that in ten years he will say that I have a small penis and I want to enlarge it. How does nicotine affect children's bodies:
- If nicotine enters the body of adolescents during puberty, it affects the elasticity of vascular and arterial walls, therefore, blood circulation is affected, including in the pelvic organs.
- During the formation of secondary sexual characteristics, such a 100% factor will negatively affect the final size of the penis.
- In some situations, there may be a diagnosis of micropenis - less than 4 cm.
Unfortunately, such a diagnosis is a rather serious problem, and it is possible to enlarge the penis in the future only with the help of surgical intervention.
Delayed puberty in boys
It often happens that a teenager shares his problem with his father, and says that I am already 14 years old, but my penis is not growing. Why does this happen, and why does puberty not occur at this age?
It should be said immediately that the delay of such development cannot be regarded as an irregularity; may need to pay attention to the family, especially to the father, and ask when his first change began.
If the matter is in a particular family and lineage, then you don’t have to worry. At the age of 15, the normal growth rate of the penis usually begins. But, there are more serious reasons that slow down sexual development:
- The disease is accompanied by a violation of the production of male hormones.
- Endocrine diseases.
- diabetes.
- Pathological conditions of the kidneys.
For example, if a boy has a history of neoplasms that damage the pituitary gland, or the hypothalamus (the part of the brain responsible for puberty).
In addition, in the man’s body, there may be a decrease in the amount of hormones that activate the intensive growth of the penis.
Based on all of the above, it is important to note that parents should be more concerned about their child when he says that my penis is not growing. Maybe this was not a child’s problem, but a very serious disorder in the boy’s body.
Characteristics of boys aged 13-16 years
Everyone knows that many teenagers are willing to sit at their computers for days, play various games, or simply browse various websites. Unfortunately, internet accessibility is not always good:
- The fact is that many men compare the size of their penis with adults, and then say that I have a small size, and find a way to enlarge it.
- But this, in circumstances that cannot be done, it is impossible to enlarge the penis in some way at this age, because during this period the genitals grow and develop.
You can not only improve, but completely bring yourself to a difficult diagnosis, stopping the growth of the penis, as a result of which hormone medications will not help. And doctors will make a fairly serious diagnosis that can only be corrected in adulthood through surgery.
Undeniably, boys aged 10-13 are already the men of the future who are worried about the size of their penis.
Therefore, if a son tells his father that my penis is not growing, it is not worth it to brush the child, it often happens that the problem really exists and can lead to serious complications in future sexual life.
