This article discusses a condition known as micro penis syndrome. If you want to find out more information about what is micro penis, what causes it and how does it affect you and your sexual life, then reading this article will certainly help you out.
What Penis Size Is Considered To Be A Micro Penis?
To begin with, micro penis means to have a very small or short penis length and girth, both in flacid and erect condition. Apart from small penile size, penis is configured completely normal.
To give you an example of the length we are talking about here: If you are an adult male and have a penis length of up to 2 inches (5 centimeters) long during erection, this can almost certainly be considered as having a micro penis.
In a similar matter, if a newborn male infant (that is not older than one (1) month) has a stretched penis length of less than 0.8 inches (2 cm) then this can be considered as micro penis syndrome as well.
The size of the penis is therefore the main factor in determining whether someone has micro penis or not.
It is believed that every six (6) out of thousand (1000) men are affected with micro penis. In other words, the occurance rate in the male population is 0,6 %.
What Causes Micro Penis?
Generally speaking, micro or small penis forms itself because male sexual organ (penis) does not develop itself properly during penile growth phases (penis formation phase (happens early in the fetal life) and penis growth phase (happens from birth to the end of the puberty)).
There are different reasons (causes) why someone’s penis does not grow properly during the above mentioned growth phases.
Most of them are associated with other health disorders such as congenital growth hormone deficiency, congenital hypopituitarism and a variety of genetic syndromes (Klinefelter syndrome, Prader-Willi syndrome, Bardet-Biedl syndrome,…).
In general, the most common reasons or causes for a micro penis happen:
- due to decreased production of testosteron and androgen hormone in penile growth phases (that I mentioned above);
- due to abnormal hypothalamic or pituitary function which leads to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism;
- due to primary testicular disorder which also leads to hypergonadotropic hypogonadism.
You will find most of these reasons or causes for micro penis form itself in the time when the male child is not even born yet.
How does micro penis affect your life?
Having a very small penis can have some consequences on your life. Perhaps one of the biggest problems of micro penis is because it makes sexual intercourse difficult.
Of course, if you are a priest who does not practice sex due to your religious beliefs, then having a small penis is not really a problem, is it?
But what about the rest of us who enjoy having sex on regular basis? Can you imagine how such situation could ruin your sexual life?
For instance, how would you feel if one day your wife said to you that your penis is too small to satisfy her? Or how would you feel if your girlfriend told you that she does not feel your penis in her vagina right after you to had your first sex ever?
Obviously, it would be very unpleasant to experience such things for sure! Something like that can potentially even make you fall into depression no matter how tough you feel right now!
To conclude, micro penis syndrome (very small penis) is a condition that can have big effects on your sexual life as well as on your self esteem. But like with other problems in our lives, if you can not change them, perhaps the best thing is to just accept them and learn to live with them.
