The size of the penis in normal men varies from person to person. The penis size that allows urination while standing, is sufficient for sexual function and can create a feeling of social satisfaction is actually the ideal penis size. It is necessary to know the length of the stretched penis in order to decide whether the penis is normal or small. The penis is stretched to measure its length, and the length from the root to the tip is measured from the back of the penis with a ruler. Evaluation of the measurement obtained using nomograms (standard tables) determined according to age will be the basic information that guides the doctor in terms of penis length. A generally accepted criterion for micropenis is a penis length below 2.5 standard deviations (below 99.4% of normal population measurements). While the average penis length for men in the adult age group (over 16 years of age) is known to be 13 cm, the accepted lower limit value for the diagnosis of micropenis (small penis) is 9.3 cm.
>HOW IS PENIS EXTENSION PERFORMED IN ADULT MEN?
If the doctor decides that the penis length measured using ideal methods is insufficient, surgical intervention is required for sexually active male patients. It may be decided to lengthen the penis. Before this intervention, detailed information should be given to the patient and exaggerated expectations should be avoided. The most commonly used surgical method for penis lengthening is to cut the suspensory ligament that suspends the penis to the anterior abdominal wall. In this way, an extension of 2.5-3 cm in the length of the erect penis can be achieved. In addition, if there are some irregularities in the penis skin that prevent the hardened tissue from extending, sufficient penis length will be achieved by applying different skin lengthening techniques called z-plasty or scrotal-plasty.
PENIS. WHEN CAN I HAVE SEX AFTER THE EXTENSION PROCEDURE?
After the penis lengthening procedure, one should wait at least one month to have intercourse. Waiting for tissue healing at the intervened points will increase the success of the penis lengthening procedure and patient satisfaction in the long term.
PENIS EXTENSION PROCEDURE IS THE HEIGHT GENERAL ACHIEVED PERMANENT?
The height obtained after penis lengthening operations, especially in young patients, is more permanent than in patients treated at older ages. The reason for this is that, although it is independent of the surgery, the tube structures that provide erection in the penis begin to gradually shrink, especially after the age of 50. It is generally known that the penis length in men over the age of 50 is shorter than in their youth. For this reason, patients who will undergo penis lengthening surgery should be given adequate information before the operation and some age-related changes that may occur at older ages should be explained in detail.
