A boy aged 10-15 is already a man, albeit not fully formed. But during this period, adolescents begin to think about the size of their penis, worrying if everything is in order, and if the size of the penis is normal.
Parents and adolescents need to understand the physiological development of boys, to know how long the penis should be at the age of 15-17, so that it is possible to identify deviations from the norm in time and take the necessary measures. After all, the size of the penis is an important component of the intimate life of any man.
In view of this, it is necessary to figure out how the penis grows during 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 are adolescents developing?
The puberty period for 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 interconnected with the characteristics of the boy.
But in other cases, the delay can signal a hormonal imbalance, as a result of which the amount of the male hormone in the body has decreased. In this case, it is necessary to visit a doctor promptly in order to undergo an examination.
Since it is the amount of the male hormone that directly affects the growth and development of the genitals, the following changes occur during puberty:
- The teenager's voice becomes deeper and harsher.
- The genitals grow and develop.
- A 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, as a result of which certain treatment will be required. If the penis does not grow, then the doctor may recommend hormonal therapy in order to normalize the full level of the male hormone in the body.
Penis size by age of adolescents:
- The size of the penis at 12-13 years old during an erection is 10-13 centimeters, in a resting state 6-7 centimeters.
- The size of the penis at 15 years old varies from 13 to 15 cm during an erect state, in a relaxed position from 7 to 9 cm.
- A member at the age of 16-17 is about 16-18 cm with an erect state, at rest from 8 to 7 cm.
If puberty proceeds normally, then the active growth of the penis is carried out at the age of 16-17. By the age of 18, the size of the penis may change slightly, and even decrease, because the penis will become thicker.
In medical practice, there have been cases when the genital organ continued to grow up to 20-22 years, but such situations are quite rare, the size changed very slightly.
Why do teens want to enlarge their penis?
It's no secret that in today's high-tech world, even any teenager can view any information. Of course, pornographic films are of the greatest interest in adolescence.
The boy, having seen enough of actors with impressive parameters, begins to have complexes, believing that he has a small reproductive organ, and is looking 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 actual question arises, how to explain to a teenager why it is impossible to enlarge the penis?
- First, the boy needs to be provided with medical size information to prove that everything is normal and there are no abnormalities.
- Secondly, it is necessary to explain that the size of the penis is an individual physiological feature, and each man's penis has its own anatomical shape and its own parameters.
- Thirdly, talk about the factors that actually affect the genitals.
A number of factors have long been identified that affect the growth and development of the penis. The most common are distinguished:
- The amount of male hormone in the body during puberty.
- The level of the hormone in the mother's body during pregnancy.
- Chronic diseases, endocrine disorders.
- The quality of the food, the environment.
- Heredity.
It has been proven that it is testosterone that directly affects penis size. If during puberty there was a hormonal disruption in the body, as a result of which there was a shortage of male hormone, then the probability of a small penis size is quite high.
It can be said, and vice versa, when in puberty the amount of the sex hormone is normal or slightly exceeded, this 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, provoke a decrease in testosterone levels, in view of this, it is important to treat all pathologies in a timely manner.
Are there safe ways to enlarge for teens?
It is an established fact that the quality of nutrition has an indirect effect on the development of the genital organ. It is food products that are the "building material" for human growth and development, and if any elements are missing, this circumstance negatively affects development.
An active lifestyle is also important, because a negative correlation between weight and size of the penis has already been proven. In obese representatives 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.
- Correct and balanced nutrition.
Sports will not only have a beneficial effect on the growth of the penis, but also on the body as a whole. Doctors recommend swimming (develops all muscle groups), cycling, jogging and other sports that you like. A teenager can be enrolled in various sections, where he will not only practice, 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 have a negative effect on the human body. It is necessary to add the following foods to the diet to enlarge the penis:
- Lean red meat.
- Dairy products.
- Red fish, seafood.
- Eggs, caviar.
- Fresh vegetables and fruits.
It is important to reduce the consumption of table salt, sweets, carbonated drinks, junk food - chips, crackers and so on, giving preference to protein foods, as well as foods rich in fiber, useful microelements and substances.
It is also worth noting that if a teenager smokes, then this negatively affects the growth of the penis. Nicotine and tar, penetrating into the body, have a detrimental effect on blood vessels, as a result of which they lose their natural elasticity and firmness, which in turn has a bad effect on blood circulation in the body, including blood circulation in the pelvic organs.
In summarizing all the information, it is important to say that knowing what size of the penis should be at a given age is a necessity in order to fix deviations from the norm in time. A teenager should remember that he grows and develops, and with him the penis becomes larger, so there is no need to enlarge the penis.
