What Is A Micropenis?

Many men are afflicted with small penises, but there is a difference between a penis that is simply small in size, and a micropenis. A micropenis is unusually small, and measures only up to 4 centimeters for an adult when it is in the flaccid state. A micropenis is something that is diagnosed almost immediately after birth because of the incredibly small size of the penis. In fact, a newborn may only have a penis as long as 2 centimeters when he is born. It can be easily identified, because although the penis is small, the scrotum is fully formed and of regular size. It happens to less than 1 % of the male population, but for those that have a micropenis it is one of the hardest things to go through.

Although doctors are conflicted about how it is caused, many think that it is because the body makes a low amount of androgen while the baby is in the womb. Since the fetus does not get enough of the androgen they are born with the micropenis. Another theory is the male fetus is unable to manufacture testosterone and a growth hormone that stimulates the pituitary gland. Either way, what is left is a tiny penis which can cause a man a great deal of heartache as he goes through life.

It can be extremely embarrassing for men to have to deal with such a small penis that they usually see as completely useless when it comes to having sexual relations with another person. Although this isn’t’ the case, most men forego this part of their life until they can find a solution to this problem. One of the solutions to treat a micropenis is done when the baby is very small. There are many hormone supplements that can be given to a baby to increase his testosterone level and enlarge the penis. However, the penis may still never grow to regular size.

That is why as an adult you can try certain penis enlargement systems such as traction, penis exercises or penis pills. There are programs that work to increase the size of a man’s penis through all natural herbal supplements to give it a larger length and girth. It is very natural and can be done without any dangerous pumps or stretching.

For more information on the area of penis enlargement, you may visit two sites that we recommend: VigRX Plus and Extenze, both of which have substantial positive track records of success.
