What are the factors that cause a short penis? What are the methods for treating small penises
Post Date November, 17 2024
The size of the penis varies from person to person, with certain medical standards. However, the development of the testicles is normal, but the penis is short, which affects the visual appearance of the penis and affects the sexual life of married couples. Patients have a high psychological burden, and erectile ejaculation can also easily cause sexual psychological abnormalities.
The factors that cause a short penis include:
① Genetic factors. The size of the penis is controlled and influenced by genetic factors.
② Poor development and nutritional status. A man with a strong physique and a tall physique may have well-developed external genitalia, and the penis may be thick or small on the contrary, but the size of the penis may not necessarily be proportional to height.
③ Obesity. If the fat in the lower abdomen, pubic symphysis, and perineum is plump and prominent, the development of the penis is often poor, and the penis will be relatively short and small.
④ Other factors. Endocrine disorders, insufficient levels of male hormones, and penile "retraction" caused by swelling of the genitalia or scrotum can all cause penile shortening.
At present, the main method for treating small penises in clinical medicine is surgery, which can achieve two goals. One is to lengthen the penis, and the other is to thicken the penis. After surgery, the short penis can generally grow by 2-4 centimeters. For some patients with erectile dysfunction, a silicone strip can also be inserted between the corpus cavernosum of the two penises to make the penis larger and thicker. The advantage is that the surgical method is relatively simple and safe, but some people may experience a sensation of foreign body in the penis after the surgery.
The non-surgical treatment for short penis is fat particle injection, which causes negative pressure suction and traction to the penis, increasing the arterial blood supply to the penis, filling the cavernous tissue of the penis, limiting venous reflux, and continuously increasing the penis. Requiring patients to have normal endocrine function, especially serum testosterone levels, is an ideal non-surgical plastic surgery method that combines physical and psychological therapy without disturbing endocrine function.
