Micropenis – Based on information from various medical literature, this is a rather small penis, which has a limp size of no more than two centimeters for newborn male children and less than four centimeters for adults.

Of course, the definition of a micropenis is a little random, with other definitions being used even by doctors. Diagnosis of a micropenis is made shortly after birth, as the remaining perineum, penis and scrotum are completely formed and size cannot be in doubt. Approximately 0.6 percent of men are afflicted with the condition.

Why Do Some Men Have A Micropenis

The common belief about why a micropenis occurs is that there is a low output of prenatal androgen. Thus, a male fetus doesn’t get the normal amount of androgen and the penis won’t get to average size. That’s just one theory for why a micropenis affects some men. Other possible reasons include:

- A deficiency of the fetus’ capacity to produce both the dihydrotestosterone and testosterone hormones

- A deficiency in the congenital growth hormone

- Insufficient pituitary gland stimulation

No matter the reason for the condition, it can have a significant impact on the sufferer’s self-esteem and image. It is possible men with a micropenis to father children but having intercourse can be difficult. Even worse is that men with this affliction can have problems urinating while standing.

A Look At Several Micropenis Treatments

There are several micropenis treatment options available. The ideal micropenis treatment is to deal with it when the male is still an infant using hormone supplements. There are also several surgical options available that can enlarge the penis but they’re rarely done because the results are not good enough. In lieu of surgery, there is the use of a penis extender, which can naturally enlarge the penis.

You should never take micropenis treatments into your own hands. Rather, it’s best to discuss the issue with your doctor (see an urologist). Be sure to get some alternatives before you take any action. This is especially important before you do something that you can’t stop. If you’re unsure of whether or not you’ve got a micropenis, have your doctor do an assessment. If it’s found you have a micropenis, he/she will send you on to a specialist who will do additional assessments and recommend a micropenis treatment.

If it’s found that you just have a small penis (not a micropenis), you may decide you still want a larger penis. If you want a natural enlargement method, you can always do penis enlargement exercises and devices. These options allow men to get an increased penis size within their home and in privacy without the need for pumps or pills. Both the devices and exercises are the safest, healthiest options to boost a penis’ length and girth, when both in erect and limp states.
