A boy of 10-15 years old is already a man, although he is not fully formed. But in that period, adolescents start thinking about the size of their penis, worrying if everything is fine and if the size of the penis is normal.
Parents and adolescents must understand the physiological development of boys, know how long the penis should be at the age of 15-17 years, in order to timely recognize deviations from the norm and take the necessary measures. After all, penis size is an important component of every man’s intimate life.
Given that, it is necessary to understand how the penis grows at puberty, to find out what to do if there are deviations from normal indicators? In addition, it is worth considering such an aspect as penis enlargement in adolescence, and what is the risk?
How do adolescents develop?
Puberty in all boys begins at different times, this situation is based on the individual characteristics of the adolescent. On average, puberty occurs at the age of 10-15 years. However, in a number of situations, delays in sexual development are possible, which are interrelated with the characteristics of the boy.
But in other cases, the delay can signal a hormonal imbalance, which reduces the amount of male hormone in the body. In that case, it is necessary to visit a doctor as soon as possible for an examination.
Since the amount of male hormone is that which directly affects the growth and development of the genitalia, the following changes occur at puberty:
- The teenager's voice becomes deeper and sharper.
- The genitals grow and develop.
- The skeleton is formed according to the male type, the boy "turns" into a man.
- Hair appears on the face, in the groin area.
If at least one of these signs is absent, a deviation from the norm can be stated, due to which certain treatment will be needed. If the penis does not grow, then the doctor may recommend hormone therapy to normalize the full level of male hormone in the body.
Penis size according to adolescent age:
- The size of the penis at the age of 12-13 during an erection is 10-13 centimeters, at rest 6-7 centimeters.
- The size of the penis at the age of 15 varies from 13 to 15 cm in the state of erection, in the relaxed position from 7 to 9 cm.
- The member at the age of 16-17 is about 16-18 cm in erection, at rest from 8 to 7 cm.
If puberty proceeds normally, then active penis growth takes place at the age of 16-17 years. By the age of 18, the size of the penis can change slightly and even shrink, as the penis will become thicker.
In medical practice, there have been cases where the genital organ has continued to grow until 20-22 years, but such situations are quite rare, the size has changed very little.
Why do teenagers want to enlarge their penis?
It’s no secret that in today’s high-tech world even every teenager can see any information. Of course, pornographic films are of the greatest interest in adolescence.
The boy, after seeing enough actors with impressive parameters, begins to have complexes, believing he has a small reproductive organ, and looks for ways to solve this problem.
It is worth saying that during the period of sexual development, the penis is actively growing, and if you take any action to increase it, you can even slow down the growth of the penis. The real question is, how do you explain to a teenager why it is impossible to enlarge a penis?
- First, the boy should be given medical size information to prove that everything is normal and that there are no abnormalities.
- Secondly, it is necessary to explain that the size of the penis is an individual physiological characteristic, and the penis of every man has its own anatomical shape and parameters.
- Third, talk about the factors that actually affect the genitals.
A number of factors that affect the growth and development of the penis have long been identified. The most common are:
- The amount of male hormones in the body during puberty.
- Hormone levels in the mother's body during pregnancy.
- Chronic diseases, endocrine disorders.
- Food quality, environment.
- Heredity.
It has been proven that testosterone is the one that directly affects the size of the penis. If during puberty there was a hormonal disorder in the body, due to which there was a lack of male hormone, then the probability of small penis size is quite high.
It can be said, and vice versa, when the amount of sex hormone is normal or slightly exceeded during puberty, it will positively affect the growth and development of the future man's penis.
Many chronic diseases and endocrine disorders can, by affecting some body systems, cause a decrease in testosterone levels, since it is important to treat all pathologies in a timely manner.
Are there safe ways to increase for teens?
It has been established that the quality of nutrition indirectly affects the development of the genital organ. Food products are the "building material" for human growth and development, and if an element is missing, this circumstance negatively affects development.
An active lifestyle is also important, because the negative correlation between weight and penis size has already been proven. In obese members of the stronger sex, the penis is always visually smaller than it actually is. Based on this information, a teenager's penis can be enlarged in two ways:
- Optimal physical activity.
- Proper and balanced diet.
Sport will not only have a beneficial effect on penis growth, but also on the body as a whole. Doctors recommend swimming (developing all muscle groups), cycling, running and other sports that you like. A teenager can enroll in various sections, where he will not only exercise, but also gain self-confidence and forget about the thought of a small penis.
As for food, it has long been known that fatty and unhealthy foods negatively affect the human body. To enlarge the penis, it is necessary to add the following foods to the diet:
- Lean red meat.
- Milk products.
- Red fish, seafood.
- Eggs, caviar.
- Fresh vegetables and fruits.
It is important to reduce the consumption of table salt, sweets, carbonated drinks, fast food - chips, crackers and so on, giving preference to protein foods, as well as foods rich in fiber, useful trace elements and substances.
It is also worth noting that if a teenager smokes, it negatively affects penis growth. Nicotine and tar, penetrating the body, have a detrimental effect on blood vessels, causing them to lose their natural elasticity and firmness, resulting in a bad effect on blood circulation in the body, including blood circulation in the pelvis. organs.
Summarizing all the information, it is important to say that it is necessary to know what the size of the penis should be at a given age in order to correct deviations from the norm in time. The teenager should remember that he grows and develops, and with him the penis becomes bigger, so there is no need to enlarge the penis.
