During puberty, when the boy's puberty occurs, the size of the penis changes. This process is based on a special mechanism that is triggered by the production of gonadoliberin in the hypothalamus.
Boys aged 10-13 are already worried about the size of the penis, wondering 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 aged 10-13 years, in order to find out what the dynamics of penis growth are like.
Physiological features of the development of boys
The genital organ is formed in a woman's 16th week of pregnancy, during which time it is already possible to determine the sex of the unborn child. First, after the erectile tissue, the glans of the penis is formed.
When a baby is born, they usually do not grow more than 2. 5 cm, in childhood, which lasts up to 10 years, the penis increases slightly by only 4 cm.
Between the ages of 10-13, adolescents have pituitary gland development and the production of male hormone intensifies.
The first signs of puberty appear, the penis begins to grow and change in size faster, this growth occurs throughout puberty.
Many boys aged 10-13 say that my penis size is 5-6 cm, is this a normal size and how can I make it bigger? It should be noted immediately that there is no need to increase, the member will grow by itself. What size is considered normal:
- 10-12 years at rest 4-5 cm, with an erection the length is 10-12 cm, the thickness 7 cm.
- 13 years in a calm state 5-6 cm, with an erection length 12-13 cm, thickness 9. 5 cm.
- 14 years at rest 7-9 cm, with an erection length 13-15 cm, thickness 10 cm.
- 15 years at rest 7-9 cm, with an erection length 13-15, thickness 10. 5 cm.
- 16 years at rest 9-10 cm, with an erection length 15-16 cm, thickness 11 cm.
- 17-18 years old at rest 10-12 cm, with erection 16-17 cm, thickness 13 cm.
It is important to point out right away that all indicators are averaged, so they have to be perceived from a subjective point of view. It is impossible to say exactly how many inches a member of a particular boy should be, height is an individual characteristic.
In fact, when a boy aged 10-13 says I have a small penis, it is not, the process of growth is intense. And conclusions can only be drawn at the age of 18.
Usually puberty ends at the age of 18-19 years, in individual cases the size can change up to 22 years.
In some cases, the penis can be corrected at all and by the age of 18-19 it shrinks by about 5 mm, this is due to an increase in its thickness.
What Affects a Teenagers Penis Size?
The process of the formation of secondary sexual characteristics in a boy is influenced by the level of the male hormone, especially testosterone.
The higher the level of this hormone during puberty, the larger the final size of the penis will be.
In this regard, monitoring penis growth is very important. In case of growth retardation, the boy says I have a small penis, you need to immediately consult a doctor who will prescribe hormonal agents that activate the growth of the penis.
In addition, the following factors influence the size of the penis:
- Inheritance.
- Surroundings.
- Genital trauma.
- Endocrine disorders.
- If the teen started smoking early, then drink alcohol.
If growth, eye color, etc. can be inherited, the size of the penis can also be transmitted, in addition the characteristics of its growth and development.
If a teenager started smoking early, it is safe to say that in ten years' time they will say that I have a small penis and want to enlarge it. How nicotine affects the child's body:
- If nicotine enters the adolescent's body at puberty, it impairs the elasticity of the vessel walls and arteries, thereby impairing blood flow, including in the pelvic organs.
- In the formation of secondary sexual characteristics, such a factor of 100% negatively affects the final size of the penis.
- A micropenis can be diagnosed in a number of situations - less than 4 cm.
Unfortunately, such a diagnosis is quite a serious problem, and in the future it will be possible to enlarge the penis only with the help of surgical intervention.
Puberty Delay in Boys
It often happens that a teenager shares their problems with their 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 right away that such a developmental delay should not immediately be counted as a deviation, it may be necessary to pay attention to the family, especially the father, and ask when his first changes began.
If the matter runs in a particular family and heredity then there should be nothing to worry about. The normal growth rate of the penis usually begins around the age of 15. However, there are more serious reasons that delay sexual development:
- Diseases associated with a violation of the production of the male hormone.
- Endocrine Disorders.
- Diabetes mellitus.
- Pathological condition of the kidneys.
For example, if a boy has a history of neoplasia that has damaged the pituitary gland or hypothalamus (the part of the brain responsible for puberty).
In addition, there may be a decrease in the amount of hormones in the boy's body that activate the intense growth of the penis.
With all of the above, it's important to note that parents should pay more attention to their child when they say my penis is not growing. Perhaps these are not children's problems, but really serious disorders in the boy's body.
Characteristics of boys aged 13-16 years
Everyone knows that many teenagers are willing to spend days sitting in front of their computers, playing different games, or just browsing different websites. Unfortunately, the availability on the Internet is not always good:
- The fact is, many boys compare their penis size with adults and then say that I am a small size and look for ways to increase it.
- But in no way can it be done, it is impossible to enlarge the penis in any way at this age, since it is during this period that the genital organ develops and grows.
You can not only gain weight, but completely get yourself to a difficult diagnosis by stopping the growth of the penis, due to which hormonal drugs will not even help. And the doctor will make a rather serious diagnosis that can only be corrected by surgery in adulthood.
Undoubtedly, boys aged 10-13 are already future men who are concerned about their penis size.
When a son tells his father that my penis is not growing, it is not worth brushing the child off, it often happens that the problem really exists and can lead to serious complications in future sex life.
