During puberty, when a boy's puberty occurs, the size of the penis changes. This process is based on a special mechanism, which is stimulated by the production of gonadoliberin in the hypothalamus.
Boys aged 10-13 have already started to worry about penis size, they have started to ask what size is normal, how many centimeters should it be?
To answer all these questions, it is necessary to understand the features of the physiological development of adolescents aged 10-13 years, to discover what is the dynamics of penis growth.
Physiological characteristics of boys development
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 unborn baby. 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 period of childhood, which lasts up to 10 years, the penis grows slightly, only by 4 cm.
At the age of 10-13, the pituitary gland develops in adolescents and the production of male hormone becomes more intense.
The main signs of puberty appear, the penis begins to grow faster and change its size, this growth occurs throughout the period of puberty.
Many boys aged 10-13 say that the size of my penis is 5-6 cm, is this a normal size and how can I increase it? It should be noted immediately that there is no need to grow in any way, the member will grow on their own. So what size is considered normal:
- 10-12 years at rest 4-5 cm, with erection the length is 10-12 cm, the thickness is 7 cm.
- 13 years old at rest 5-6 cm, with 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 at rest 9-10 cm, with 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 average, so they should be perceived from a subjective point of view. It is impossible to say concretely how many centimeters a member of a particular boy should have, size is an individual feature.
If a 10-13 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 any conclusion be drawn.
As a rule, puberty ends at the age of 18-19, in some cases the size can vary 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 the increase in its thickness.
What Affects a Teenager's Penis Size?
The process of forming the secondary sexual characteristics of every boy is influenced by the level of the male hormone, in particular testosterone.
The higher the level of this hormone during puberty, the larger will be the final size of the penis.
In this regard, monitoring penis growth is very important. If there is any growth delay, the boy says I have a small penis, you should immediately contact a doctor who will prescribe hormonal agents that activate penis growth.
In addition, the following factors affect penis size:
- Inheritance.
- Environment.
- Genital trauma.
- Endocrine disorders.
- If the teen started smoking early, drink alcohol.
If the growth, eye color, etc. can be inherited, then the size of the penis can be transmitted, in addition, the features of its growth and development.
When a teenager started smoking early, it can be said with certainty that after ten years it means I have a small penis and I want to enlarge it. How does nicotine affect a child's body:
- If nicotine enters the body of adolescents at the time of puberty, it affects the elasticity of vascular walls and arteries, therefore, blood circulation is impaired, including 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 a variety of situations, there may be a diagnosis of micropenis - less than 4 cm.
Unfortunately, such a diagnosis is a very 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 is not growing. Why does this happen and why does puberty not happen at this age?
It should be said at once that such a developmental delay should not be regarded immediately 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 issue is in a specific family and inheritance, then you need not worry. At the age of 15 the normal rhythm of penis growth usually begins. But, there are more serious reasons that delay sexual development:
- Diseases accompanied by a violation of male hormone production.
- Endocrine diseases.
- Diabetes.
- Pathological condition of the kidneys.
For example, if a boy has a history of a neoplasm that has damaged the pituitary gland, or the hypothalamus (the part of the brain responsible for puberty).
In addition, in the boy's body there may be a decrease in the amount of hormones that activate the intense growth of the penis.
Based on all of the above, it is important to note that parents need to be more attentive to their child when he says my penis is not growing. Maybe 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 teens are ready to sit at their computers for days, playing different games or just browsing different pages. Unfortunately, internet access is not always good:
- The fact is that many guys compare the size of their penis to that of adults and then say I have a small size and look for ways to increase it.
- But this, in no case can be done, it is impossible to enlarge the penis in some way at this age, because it is in this period that the genital organ develops and grows.
You can not only grow, but also fully bring yourself to a difficult diagnosis, stopping penis enlargement, as a result of which hormonal medications will not even help. And the doctor will make a fairly serious diagnosis that can only be corrected in adulthood through surgery.
Undoubtedly boys aged 10-13 are already prospective men who are concerned about the size of their penis.
Therefore, if the boy tells his father that my penis is not growing, it is not worth bathing the baby, it often happens that the problem really exists and can lead to serious complications in the future sex life.
