Genuine male penile shortness refers to the congenital malformation of male external genitalia, and most people who cannot have normal sexual life, because of lack of sexual knowledge, always think that their penile is short, which causes psychological burden.
The concept of really short penis: ① length: shorter than 2.5 cm before puberty, shorter than 5 cm during puberty. Perimeter: less than 1 cm before puberty, less than 7.5 cm during puberty. ② The second sexual sign is dysplasia: such as vocal cord, beard, glue hair, pubic hair, laryngeal nucleus, etc. ③ Abnormal development of sexual organs, sexual dysfunction, no erectile function, no sperm, no fertility. Having the above points can be considered as the true penis shortness.
The reason for short penis is that the development of hypothalamus and pituitary is slow and the level of testosterone is low. The differentiation and development of penis depend on the level of testosterone in the body. If the maternal testosterone secretion is insufficient during the 6-9 months of pregnancy, and the fetal penis development is lower than the normal speed, the penis will be smaller at birth.
