For every man, the question of his male strength and male dignity is extremely important. That is why, since adolescence, men start to worry about the size of their penis. If the nose and ears grow with age, then other organs may remain unchanged throughout life, or even shrink. In this regard, the question is often asked: until what age does the penis grow?
At what age does the penis stop growing?
It is considered that the male sexual organs develop throughout puberty, that is, at the moment of puberty. This period, as a rule, starts from the age of 9 to 14, and ends at the age of 17. It is precisely at the age of 17 that the growth of the penis in men ends. However, for some adolescents, growth may continue until age 22-25. As a rule, it is associated with the late onset of puberty. After 17 years, a man's penis increases in thickness, while its length decreases by about half a centimeter.
Puberty in adolescents occurs individually and can begin in different periods.. Basically, the formation of the male skeleton and secondary sexual characteristics begins at the age of 12-14 years. At the same time, the penis begins to grow and gradually thickens. After that, the penis grows by about one centimeter per year. At the same time, during puberty, the male penis not only grows, but also develops: the testicles enlarge, the formation of the foreskin ends, and the skin of the scrotum becomes rougher.
Every man subconsciously wants to be a winner, a leader. It's no secret that the size of the penis can become both a reason for pride and a cause of self-doubt for a representative of the stronger half of humanity. That is why many are interested in the years in which the penis grows. Sometimes this issue becomes very important, because the completed development and formation of the body does not meet the expectations of a man. In such cases, as a rule, young people resort to various means to enlarge the penis.
How do male reproductive organs develop?
To understand how the penis grows, it is enough to follow the entire path of its development. The formation of the penis in men occurs in the womb, approximately in the third month of pregnancy. After the birth of a child, the length of a boy's genital organ is about 1. 5-2. 5 centimeters. In the first period of life, ie up to 9-10 years, the penis grows only 4-5 centimeters.
Most growth and development occurs in adolescents during their maturation period. Puberty begins between the ages of 9 and 13. At that time, hormones begin to act actively, due to which the penis increases and other sexual characteristics appear.
At the age of 15-16, teenagers experience so-called wet dreams - ejaculation during sleep at night. At that moment, the young man can be considered ready for sexual activity. Until the age of 18-19, the penis continues to grow, the foreskin develops, the testicles increase, the color of the skin on the scrotum changes. The growth of the genital organ stops at the age of 22, and after that the length can only be slightly reduced.
Do not worry if, when you are still, the length of the genital organ seems quite short. Often, during excitement, the penis increases several times and becomes longer. The fears of young people regarding the size of the male organ are quite understandable, however, one should not dwell on it, because, as practice shows, an oversized penis can injure a woman's internal organs and, accordingly, only lead to it. pain. In addition, often the size of the penis does not play any role during sexual intercourse.
What affects penis size?
There are several factors that affect penis growth. This is not surprising, because the growth of the sexual organ and its development is an individual process that can differ. The following circumstances can affect the growth of the penis:
- Genetics. Hereditary characteristics are transmitted to each person, but you must understand that they are manifested not only in appearance, but also in the structure, growth and development of various organs.
- Hormonal levels. Here we are talking about various types of hormonal disorders that can reduce the amount of testosterone produced. This, in turn, will lead to disturbances in the development of primary sexual characteristics, and perhaps even to a delay in maturation.
- Chronic diseases. Often, chronic diseases can affect the development of the body as a whole and the functioning of individual organs. Therefore, if you suspect that the development of the genital organs is not going as it should, it is better to contact a specialist with this problem to avoid problems in the future.
- Unhealthy lifestyle. Bad habits, excessive consumption of alcohol, smoking, drugs - all this can lead to disorders in the development of the body. Diet and routine also have a big impact. Therefore, in adolescence, it is recommended to lead a healthy lifestyle and play sports.
What penis size is considered normal?
According to statistics, most women are absolutely satisfied with the size of their man's penis. However, for men such data are not significant, for them the size of the male organ is still very important. That's why many are interested in the question: how long should a male penis be?
According to average statistics, the normal size of the penis in an unexcited state is considered to be from 7 to 10 centimeters. When it is erect, the adequate size of the penis is from 14 to 16 centimeters. In this case, the thickness of the erect penis should be from 3 to 5 centimeters. A small penis (in medicine) is a penis that is less than 10 centimeters when erect. Also in urology there is a term - "micropenis" - the designation of a penis whose size is less than 6 centimeters in erection.
These indicators are only average data, so you should not dwell on them. Moreover, for most women, the length of a partner's penis is less important than other characteristics of a person. After all, most women are looking for a potential father of future children and a husband in a man, and therefore pay little attention to the size of the genitals.
What to do if your penis is not growing?
Often in adolescence, young people begin to worry if the size of the penis does not change. It is important to note that during puberty there is no need to worry about penis growth. The fact is that during that period the development of the genital organs takes place in intervals. Growth may slow down or stop completely for a while and then suddenly accelerate. In addition, penile development alternates between growth and thickness, so sometimes the increase in length is not noticeable.
If you are still not satisfied with the size of your penis, it is highly not recommended to take any serious actions, especially surgical interventions for penis enlargement. During adolescence, you can influence the growth of genital organs by changing your diet and daily routine.
With the help of certain foods, you can increase the level of the testosterone hormone in the blood, which will lead to faster penis enlargement. During puberty, adolescents are recommended to consume more of the following foods:
- Sea food. Any fish or delicacies such as shrimp, lobster, crabs, mussels will do.
- Vegetables and fruits. It should be taken into account that it is best to choose red and green fruits. Such fruits and vegetables can boast a high lutein content. It is best to eat them raw, so there is a chance to get maximum vitamins and nutrients.
- Greeneryfresh.
- Berries. You can eat any berries, it is best to combine them with fresh cheese.
- Meat. You can eat any delicatessen meat, but it is better to choose the least fatty types. It is important to steam or cook meat dishes.
- Spices. Red pepper and curry spice work best in this case.
It is best to include as many fresh foods as possible in your diet. As a rule, when stored for a long time in the refrigerator or deep frozen, most products lose all components that are nutritious and useful for the male body.
It has also been scientifically proven that cigarettes seriously affect male genital development, and not in a positive way. That is why it is important to stop smoking during the period of formation of all sexual characteristics. And, of course, it is advisable not to resort to bad habits for the rest of your life.
What causes penis growth?
Today, you can find only a huge amount of advertisements that offer various means to increase the length of the penis. Men are offered miracle creams, ointments and pills that, according to advertisements, should make the penis grow almost instantly. However, in reality, these promises turn out to be mere tricks to lure customers. In reality, there are only two options for penis enlargement - wearing an extender and surgical enlargement.
These methods should be resorted to only when the penis stops growing, that is, when the transitional age and puberty have long passed. When a man decides to undergo penis enlargement surgery, he is given the choice of using special implants or not.
The fact is that the operation is possible when the inner part of the penis is surgically stretched, due to which it increases by 3-5 centimeters. Generally, such changes are quite enough for men. In some cases, men consent to the use of implants; this usually happens when the initial length of the erect penis is less than 12 centimeters.
Another option on how you can influence the growth of the penis is to wear an extender. This device is certified and used by a large number of men. It works by securing the penis in a stretched state. When wearing the extender, additional cells of the cavernous spongy tissue appear in the penis, which causes an increase in both length and width.
The only drawback of such a device is that you have to wear it for six months, and the desired effect cannot be achieved in a shorter period of time. You should wear the extender daily for 4-6 hours. This will help you increase your penis size by 4 centimeters within six months. At the same time, the thickness of the genital organ will increase significantly, because within six months there will be a significant increase in soft tissue.
Corpora cavernosa is a special spongy tissue that reacts very sensitively to changes in temperature, as well as to the content of various substances in human blood. As a rule, the best methods of penis enlargement are aimed precisely at the growth of the cells of the corpora cavernosa. This is the simplest and safest way to increase the size of the penis.
However, it is worth understanding that changes in penis size usually occur during the day. This is again due to the reaction of corpus cavernosum cells to the environment. Therefore, before taking any penis enlargement product, you should consult an expert to see if it suits you at all and can help.
