You may have wondered why some men have large penises, while others have small penises. You may also have asked whether your penis size is normal when compared to other peers your age. All these questions are normal to ask, considering that the penis is a male sex organ that gets enough attention. Actually, when did the penis start growing and when did it stop, so what do you have today? Check out the penis growth facts in this article.

The growth line of the penis, from childhood to adulthood

Penile growth begins in the womb. During the first few weeks of pregnancy, the sex organs of boys and girls will look the same. Only when there is the influence of testosterone, a male baby's sex organs begin to develop into a penis and a pair of testes in the testicles. Penile growth usually begins at the 9th week of pregnancy, and is fully formed by the end of the 20th week.

From newborns to children, it is common for the penis to grow slowly in size. Maybe it will settle down. Only then begins to grow long and thicken in the age range of 10-14 years when puberty begins, and continues to occur until 18 years. The fastest penis growth occurs between the ages of 12 and 16 years, depending on when the boy starts puberty.

During puberty, the physical and sexual characteristics of men begin to change, from a bassy voice, body hair, to enlarged penis and testicles followed by pubic hair.

The penis will then stop growing when puberty ends. Since the end of puberty cannot be determined with certainty for everyone, the time it stops is different. In general, teens have to wait a year or two after they stop growing tall, or four to six years after enlarged testicles, before they can figure out their final penis size. Many men achieve maximum penis growth between the ages of 18 and 21.

What is the normal penis size?

Basically it is difficult to determine normal penis size. Each person's penis size depends on the genes they have, as well as the size of your hands, feet, and the color of your eyes. Keep in mind, penis size has nothing to do with virility or sexual performance.

However, in the Journal of Urology, the general size of the penis when it is flaccid is around 8.8cm - 10cm and when erect it can expand to about 13cm-14.2cm. Meanwhile, the average penis size of Indonesian men when erect is in the range of 10.5-12.8 cm.

Can it change the size of the penis?

Despite all the flirtatious penis enlargement commercials that are out there, you really can't change the size of your penis much. Basically all efforts to enlarge the penis will end in vain. For most men, the penis length they achieve after puberty will be the maximum size of their penis for a lifetime.

Penis size is more or less determined genetically. Moreover, unlike the breast or nose that can be tampered with, the penis is not a static organ. The penis is an organ that contains spongy-like tissue that can expand and fill with blood and then collapse again, over time. Therefore, even surgery will not be successful because there are no graft materials from other parts of the body suitable for this specific need.

Also keep in mind that most penis enlargement supplements or vitamins have been found unsafe for consumption. Viagra is actually not intended to enlarge the penis, but to help men who have erectile dysfunction problems.
