As boys age, the size of their genitals changes. Sometime a teenager may ask, "Why doesn't my penis grow? " Or "Why is it so small? "
Interest in the genitals is completely normal at the age of 12-16. During this period, boys usually already know what the penis is for and start thinking about how their sex life will go.
If a teenager is worried about their small penis size, parents should not be missed. The events have two possible outcomes.
First, if everything is okay in size, you will need the help of a knowledgeable psychologist.
Second, if your penis is really small, consider ways to enlarge your teen’s penis.
What happens in adolescence
Boys begin puberty after the age of ten on average. From this point on, the penis actively grows in both length and thickness. Testosterone levels increase in the body. Length and thickness of the boys' genitals during puberty:
- 10-11 years: penis length 4 cm (deviation from the 1 cm norm is allowed);
- 12 years old: at rest, the size of the penis is 5-6 cm long and 7-8 cm in diameter; with erection the penis grows to 10-11 cm;
- 13 years old: the length of the phallus reaches 6-8 cm, the circumference is 9-10 cm; in the erect state, the penis lengthens to at least 11 cm;
- 14-15 years old: in the unexcited state - 8-9 cm, diameter - 10-11 cm; erection with a length of 11-15 cm;
- 16-17 years old: average penis length - 8-10, 5 cm, diameter - 11-12 cm; in the erect state - 11-16 cm;
- 18 years of age: at rest - 10, 5-17 cm, diameter - 12-14 cm; when excited - 12-20 cm.
Why doesn't the genitals grow?
It is possible to enlarge the penis during adolescence, but you must first determine the reason for the delay in growth. Several factors hinder the normal and harmonious development of the genitals:
- With cryptorchidism, the testes do not descend into the scrotum. In this case, the development of secondary sexual characteristics in the adolescent stops, the voice is not interrupted, the body does not produce male hormones in the required amount. If you don’t take action and give treatment, your teenager’s penis will remain small.
- Penis growth can stop due to a teen’s chronic illness. Health problems such as loss of appetite (bulimia), diabetes, gastrointestinal diseases, asthma and a malfunctioning thyroid gland disrupt testosterone production and weaken the body.
- Adolescent oncological diseases stop the development of the reproductive system. This is most often due to severe treatment (radiation, chemotherapy), which disrupts the well-coordinated work of the body.
Some infectious diseases lead to infertility and late puberty in adolescents. The most dangerous are mumps and the complications of the flu. - Taking certain medications can also negatively affect the reproductive system of the mature body. If a teenager is taking medications that slow down the development of the gonads, the growth of the penis may stop during treatment.
A balanced and healthy diet is an important factor in the development of a growing organism. An undernourished teenager is likely to experience problems with the genitals, one of which delays penis growth. - Smoking and drinking alcohol weakens the immune system and delays the development of all body systems. If a child is addicted to cigarettes at the age of 13-14, by the age of 18 his penis may be 1-3 cm smaller than normal.
- In addition, the penis can slow its growth if the child is injured in intimate organs or is often exposed to stress.
A safe way to enlarge your penis for teens
Most boys between the ages of 14 and 16 are susceptible to genital developmental disorders. Many compare their performance to that of friends and experience suffering when the length of their penis turns out to be shorter than that of their comrades.
If a teenager doesn’t enlarge his penis in time, he can retreat, grow complex, and avoid women in the future. If there is indeed a problem, methods should be used that accelerate the growth of the adolescent’s penis.
| Methodology | Efficiency |
|---|---|
| Jelqing | 2/10 |
| Air pump | 4/10 |
| Extender | 5/10 |
| Proper nutrition | 1/10 |
Jelqing
This is a special masturbation technique, the correct performance of which results in an increase in the length of childbearing age. The method is considered to be the simplest, yet effective, as it allows the penis to be stretched a few inches and the state of life to be recorded in this state. Advantages of the method:
- no means are required to enlarge the penis in this way;
- you can perform the exercises at any time as soon as the desire arises;
- if you have a girlfriend, you can practice with her;
- the penis naturally enlarges due to an increase in blood flow to the genitals and an increase in the volume of cavernous bodies.
It is worth noting that regular jelqing techniques lead not only to genital elongation but also to thickening.
Exercise is easy. You have to masturbate while trying to stretch your penis. If you want to finish, you have to stop and wait for the wave of incoming joy to pass. Repeat this several times. Finish the exercise with ejaculation.
Air pump
This device was originally used to treat erectile dysfunction. Over time, however, it became clear that the effect of the pump on the penis would lead to an increase in its size.
The method is effective, but the results will not be overwhelming. At best, the penis can be enlarged by 1-3 cm. In addition, this method has several disadvantages:
- high cost of the device;
- there may be obvious pain during the procedure;
- there is a possibility of injury to the penis (if you use the device for more than 15 minutes a day);
- you must not use a vacuum pump for certain diseases (infectious, diabetes mellitus, kidney, liver, blood diseases).
Extender
You can enlarge your teen’s penis at home with a compact device - an extension cord. The method is considered very effective as it can only achieve results in a few months. The extension is easy to use: the penis fits into the device, which gradually stretches it.
You need to wear the device for a long time, 6-10 hours a day. Plus, penis lengthening is done on its own, and the teenager doesn’t have to make any effort to do so. But it also has its drawbacks. The fact is that the extension cord must be removed every 30 to 60 minutes. And if you take your device outside your home, you may have a problem finding a place to do it.
Proper nutrition
Excess amount of adipose tissue in the boy’s body negatively affects the production of androgens and slows down the growth and formation of the genitals. It is important that the food is healthy, nutritious and balanced. The following foods should be included in the adolescent's diet:
- tomatoes (tones, energizes, strengthens the immune system);
- carrots (improves blood circulation throughout the body, including the genitals);
- sea fish and seafood (fatty acids and useful trace elements in the composition of these products have a beneficial effect on the teen's reproductive system);
- avocado (activates the growth of the reproductive organ by increasing blood circulation in the body);
- parsley (promotes rapid penile growth during puberty and increases potency);
- ginger (causes blood to grow on the penis due to blood flowing into the genitals, increases sexual desire);
- nuts (normalizes blood cholesterol levels, gives energy, strengthens health);
- asparagus (increases testosterone levels in the body).
It is also advisable for a teenager to take a vitamin. Of course, you need to get most of your vitamins and minerals from fresh vegetables and fruits, but pharmaceuticals help improve health and lead to the full development of all organs and systems.
To enlarge a male member of a teenager, you must first see a doctor. Studies show whether there is a real need to correct genital development or if everything falls within the normal range.
