For every man, the question of his male strength and male dignity is extremely important. That is why men start to worry about the size of their penis from adolescence. If the nose and ears grow with age, other organs may remain unchanged throughout life or even shrink. In this regard, the question often arises: to what age does the penis grow?
At what age does penis growth stop?
It is believed that a man's genitals develop throughout puberty, that is, at the time of puberty. This period, as a rule, starts from 9 to 14 years and ends at 17. At 17 years, the growth of the penis in men ends. However, in some adolescents, growth may continue until the age of 22-25. As a rule, this is associated with the late onset of puberty. After 17 years, a man's penis becomes thicker, while its length decreases by about half a centimeter.
Puberty in adolescents is individual and can start at different times.. In general, 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. Subsequently, the genital organ grows by about one centimeter per year. At the same time, during puberty, a man's penis not only grows, but also develops: the testicles enlarge, the formation of the foreskin is completed 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 source of pride and a reason for self-doubt for a representative of the stronger half of humanity. That is why many are interested in the age at which the penis grows. Sometimes this question becomes very important, because the complete development and formation of the body does not meet the expectations of the person. In such cases, as a rule, young people resort to various means of penis enlargement.
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 the genital organ of the boy is about 1. 5-2. 5 centimeters. During the first period of life, that is, up to 9-10 years, the penis grows by only 4-5 centimeters.
The majority of growth and development occurs in adolescents during puberty. Puberty begins between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, hormones begin to behave 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 this time, a young man can be considered ready for sexual activity. Until 18-19 years of age, the growth of the penis continues, the foreskin develops, the testicles enlarge, the color of the skin of the scrotum changes. The growth of the genital organ stops at the age of 22, and subsequently the length may decrease slightly.
Do not worry if in a relaxed state the length of the genital organ seems quite small. Often, during arousal, the penis increases several times and becomes longer. The fears of young people regarding the size of the male organ are quite understandable, but we should not dwell on this, because, as practice shows, too large a penis can injure a woman's internal organs and, accordingly, bring her only pain. In addition, often the size of the penis does not play any role during intercourse.
What affects penis size?
There are several factors that affect penis growth. This is not surprising, since the growth of the genital organ and its development is an individual process that can differ. The following circumstances can affect penis growth:
- Genetics. Hereditary characteristics are transmitted to each person, but you need to 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 different types of hormonal disorders that can reduce the amount of testosterone produced. This, in turn, will lead to disturbances in the development of the 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 genitals is not going as it should, it is better to contact a specialist in this matter to avoid problems in the future.
- Unhealthy lifestyle. Bad habits, excessive consumption of alcohol, smoking, drugs - all this can lead to disturbances in the development of the body. Diet and routine also have a big impact. That is why in adolescence it is recommended to lead a healthy lifestyle and do sports.
What penis size is considered normal?
According to statistics, most women are completely satisfied with the size of their man's penis. For men, however, these data are not significant, for them the size of the male organ is still very important. That is why many are interested in the question: how long should a man's penis be?
According to average statistics, the normal size of the penis in a non-excited state is considered to be 7 to 10 centimeters. When erect, the appropriate penis size is 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 measuring less than 10 centimeters when erect. Also in urology there is a term - "micropenis" - designation of a penis whose size is less than 6 centimeters in an erect state.
These indicators are only average values, so you should not stick to them. In addition, for most women, the length of a partner's penis is less important than other qualities 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 this period the development of the genital organs takes place at intervals. Growth may slow down or stop completely for a while, then accelerate sharply. In addition, the development of the penis 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 strongly not recommended to take any serious action, especially surgery to enlarge your penis. During the period of adolescence, you can influence the growth of the genital organs by changing your diet and daily life.
With the help of certain foods, you can increase the level of the hormone testosterone in the blood, which will lead to faster penis enlargement. During puberty, adolescents are recommended to consume more of the following foods:
- Seafood. Any fish or delicacies such as shrimp, lobster, crab, clams will do.
- Vegetables and fruits. It should be borne in mind that it is best to choose red and green fruits. Such fruits and vegetables boast a high lutein content. It is best to eat them raw, so there is a chance to get maximum vitamins and nutrients.
- Greeneryfresh.
- Forest fruits. You can eat any fruits, it is best to combine them with cottage cheese.
- meat. You can eat any meat, but it is better to choose the least fatty varieties. It is important to steam or boil 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 is also scientifically proven that cigarettes seriously affect the development of male genital organs, and not in a positive way. That is why it is important to stop smoking during the period of formation of all birthmarks. 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 a huge amount of advertisements offering various means to increase the length of the penis. Men are offered miracle creams, ointments and pills that are supposed to make the penis grow almost instantly, according to the ads. However, in reality, these promises turn out to be mere gimmicks to attract customers. There are really 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 transition age and puberty have long passed. When a man decides to undergo penis enlargement surgery, he chooses whether or not to use special implants.
The fact is that an operation is possible when the inner part of the penis is surgically stretched, due to which it increases by 3-5 centimeters. In principle, such changes are quite enough for men. In some cases, men consent to the use of implants; this mainly happens when the initial length of the erect penis is less than 12 centimeters.
The second 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 fixing the penis in a stretched state. While wearing an expander, additional cells of cavernous porous tissue appear in the penis, due to which an increase in both length and width occurs.
The only drawback of such a device is that you have to wear it for six months, for a shorter period of time the desired effect cannot be achieved. You should wear the extender daily for 4-6 hours. This will help you increase the size of your penis by 4 centimeters within six months. At the same time, the thickness of the genital organ will also increase significantly, because within six months there will be a significant increase in soft tissues.
Cavernous bodies are a special porous 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 specifically at the growth of the cells of the corpora cavernosa. This is the easiest and safest way to enlarge the penis.
However, it is worth understanding that changes in penis size usually occur during the day. This is again due to the response of corpus cavernosum cells to the environment. Therefore, before taking any penis enlargement product, you should consult a specialist to see if it is even suitable for you and if it can help.
