What are the ways to increase penis size?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 19 years old. My penis is very small and erect. I weigh 253 pounds, and I want to get my hormones checked to see if I did not go through puberty at all. What can I do to increase my penis size? Am I too late? Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The size of the penis is a very tricky issue that is associated with a lot of myths and superstitions. Every second individual has a different opinion about the normal size of the penis, and their expectation about the same rests on their belief system.

The average size of the penis is about three to five inches while erect, and it is considered normal as per the available scientific evidence. Other than that, only one-third of the female vagina is sensitive, so if somebody had three inches of penis, it would be sufficient to satisfy a woman. There is no evidence that people with a large penis can do better sex regarding the satisfaction of their partner compared to those who have a small penis.

Having said this, if somebody is overweight, it gives a false impression of a small penis, as most of the penis is buried under the fat and only a portion of it is visible. So in your case, there is a very good chance to increase the size of your penis once you can reduce weight. You must be aware that the normal weight for any individual is considered up to a BMI (body mass index) of 25, which is calculated with body weight in kilograms divided by the square of height (meters).

Checking the hormones is a very good idea to know the exact cause of your increased weight. This may give a clue to diagnosis and help for the treatment of obesity. No attempt made by you is considered late, as we can not correct the past. We can only work in the future to have a better tomorrow. For taking initiative for this problem, I'd like to congratulate you.

To conclude, yes, there is a very good chance to increase the size of the penis and, most importantly, your confidence. If you find any difficulty regarding sexual health, endocrinology, and metabolic disturbance, please write to me so we can work out a solution suitable for you.

Thank you.
