Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am18 years old, and I have a few questions that need your assistance. The size of my erected penis ranges between 5 and 5.5 inches, and I get worried about it.

Can you recommend me any medications or medicines that could help me increase its size?

Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your worry, but a penile length of 5 to 5.5 inches while erect is totally normal for an adult person, and there is no medical necessity for enlarging it in such a case.

There are no scientifically proven pills, oils, exercises, or food supplements that could enlarge the penis in people without developmental disorders.

Most of the products you see on the web do not work, and some of them might be harmful to your health. The micropenis is an uncommon condition, and your dimensions do not belong to that group.

At your age, fears and comparisons with pictures from the internet greatly affect your confidence and self-image. What is important in the sexual sphere is confidence, erection quality, communication, and general state of health, rather than size.

Physical fitness, good sleep, proper diet, and a healthy lifestyle (no alcohol or smoking) will surely improve the quality of erections. Surgical enlargement is not advised for people with normal dimensions because there is very little chance of positive results and even possible complications.

Do you feel nervous because of the comparisons on the net, or do you have some difficulties with erections?

Feel free to contact me for any other questions.

Thank you.
