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 from 10 to 13 years old are already beginning to worry about the size of the penis, they begin 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 is the dynamics of penis growth.
Physiological characteristics of the development of children.
The formation of the genital organ occurs in the 16th week of a woman's pregnancy, it is during this period that it is already possible to determine the sex of the fetus. 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. In the childhood period, which lasts up to 10 years of age, the penis increases slightly, only 4 cm.
At the age of 10 to 13 years, the pituitary gland develops in adolescents and the production of the male hormone becomes more intense.
The first signs of puberty appear, the penis begins to grow faster and changes in size, this growth occurs throughout the period of puberty.
Many boys aged 10-13 say my penis size is 5-6cm, is this a normal size and how can I increase it? It should be noted 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 rest 4-5 cm, with an erection the length is 10-12 cm, the thickness is 7 cm.
- 13 years old 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 erection length 13-15 cm, thickness 10 cm.
- 15 years at rest 7-9 cm, with erection length 13-15, thickness 10, 5 cm.
- 16 years old 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 note immediately that all indicators are averaged, so they must be perceived from a subjective point of view. It is impossible to say specifically how many centimeters a member of a particular child should be, the size is an individual characteristic.
If a 10 to 13 year old boy says I have a small penis, in fact it is not, the growth process is intense. And only at the age of 18 can conclusions be drawn.
As a general 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 at all, 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 the size of a teenager's penis?
The process of formation of the secondary sexual characteristics of any boy is influenced by the level of the male hormone, in particular testosterone.
The higher the level of this hormone during puberty, the larger the final size of the penis.
In this sense, controlling the growth of the penis is very important. If there is any growth retardation, the boy says that I have a small penis, she should immediately contact a doctor who will prescribe hormonal agents that activate penis growth.
In addition, the following factors influence the size of the penis:
- Inheritance.
- Atmosphere.
- Genital trauma
- Endocrine disorders.
- If the adolescent started smoking early, he should drink alcohol.
If growth, eye color, etc. can be inherited, then the size of the penis can also be transmitted, in addition, the characteristics of its growth and development.
When a teenager started 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 nicotine affects the child's body:
- If nicotine enters the adolescent's body at the time of puberty, it affects the elasticity of the vascular walls and arteries, therefore, the blood circulation is affected, even in the pelvic organs.
- During the formation of secondary sexual characteristics, such a factor of 100% will negatively affect the final size of the penis.
- In various situations, there may be a diagnosis of micropenis - less than 4 cm.
Unfortunately, such a diagnosis is quite a serious problem, and it will be 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 problems with his father and says that I am already 14 years old, but my penis does not grow. Why does this happen and why doesn't puberty occur at this age?
It should be said immediately that such a delay in development should not immediately be considered a deviation; It may be necessary to pay attention to the family, particularly the father, and ask when the first changes in the family began.
If the matter belongs to a specific family and inheritance, then there is no need to worry. By the age of 15, the normal growth rate of the penis usually begins. But there are more serious reasons that delay sexual development:
- Diseases accompanied by a violation of the production of the male hormone.
- Endocrine diseases.
- Diabetes.
- Pathological state of the kidneys.
For example, if a child has a history of a neoplasm that damaged the pituitary gland or the hypothalamus (the part of the brain responsible for puberty).
Also, in the boy'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 attentive to their son when he says that my penis is not growing. Perhaps these are not children's problems, but really serious disorders in the child's body.
Characteristics of children from 13 to 16 years old.
Everyone knows that many teenagers are ready to sit at their computers for days, play various games, or simply browse various sites. Unfortunately, Internet accessibility is not always good:
- The point is, a lot of guys compare their penis size to that of adults, and then they say I'm small and they look for ways to increase it.
- But this in no case can be done, it is impossible to enlarge the penis in any way at this age, because it is during this period that the genital organ develops and grows.
Not only can it increase, but it can also lead to a difficult diagnosis, stopping the growth of the penis, as a result of which hormonal drugs will not even help. And the doctor will make a fairly serious diagnosis that can only be corrected in adulthood by surgery.
Without a doubt, boys between the ages of 10 and 13 are already future men who are concerned about the size of their penis.
Therefore, if a son tells her father that my penis is not growing, it is not worth brushing the boy, it often happens that the problem really exists and can lead to serious complications in future sexual life.
