For any man, the issue of masculine strength and masculine dignity is very important. That is why, even from adolescence, men start to worry about the size of their penis. If the nose and ears grow with increasing age, then other organs may remain unchanged throughout life, or even shrink. In this regard, the question often arises: at what age does the penis grow?
At what age does penis growth stop?
It is believed that the male genital organs develop throughout puberty, that is, at the time of puberty. This period, as a rule, starts from 9 to 14 years, and ends at 17. At the age of 17, the growth of the penis ends in men. However, for some teenagers, growth may continue until age 22-25. As a rule, this is associated with a late onset of puberty. After 17 years, a man's penis thickens, while its length decreases by about half a centimeter.
Puberty in teenagers happens individually and can start at different periods.. Basically, the formation of the masculine skeleton and secondary sex characteristics begins at the age of 12-14 years. At the same time, the penis begins to grow and gradually thickens. After that, the sexual organ grows about one centimeter a year. At the same time, during puberty, the male penis not only grows, but also develops: the testicles enlarge, the formation of the foreskin ends, and the skin of the scrotum becomes rougher.
Every man subconsciously wants to be a winner, a leader. It's no secret that the size of the penis can be a reason for pride and a source of self-doubt for representatives of the stronger half of humanity. That is why many are interested in the age at which the penis grows. Sometimes this issue becomes very important, because the complete development and formation of the body does not meet the expectations of the man. In such cases, as a rule, young people use various means to enlarge their penis.
How do male reproductive organs develop?
To understand how the penis grows, it is enough to trace the entire path of its development. The formation of the penis in men occurs in the womb, approximately in the third month of pregnancy. After the birth of a child, the length of the male genital organ is about 1. 5-2. 5 centimeters. In the first period of life, that is, up to 9-10 years, the penis grows only 4-5 centimeters.
Most of the growth and development occurs in adolescents during their period of maturity. Puberty begins between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, hormones begin to actively behave, as the penis grows and other sexual characteristics appear.

At the age of 15-16, teenagers experience so-called wet dreams - ejaculation during sleep at night. It is at this time that a young man can be considered ready for sexual activity. Until the age of 18-19, the growth of the penis continues, the foreskin develops, the testicles enlarge, and the color of the skin on the scrotum changes. The growth of the genital organs stops at the age of 22, and thereafter the length can only decrease slightly.
Don't worry if, when calm, the length of the genital organ seems rather small. Often, during stimulation, the penis increases several times and becomes longer. The fear of young people about the size of the male organ is quite understandable, however, one should not think about this, because, as practice shows, a penis that is too large can injure the internal organs of a woman and, therefore, only bring it. illIn addition, often the size of the penis does not play any role during sexual intercourse.
What affects penis size?

There are several factors that affect how the penis grows. This is not surprising, because the growth of sexual organs and their development is an individual process that may be different. The following conditions can affect penis growth:
- Genetics. Hereditary traits are transmitted to everyone, but you need to understand that they are manifested not only in appearance, but also in the structure, growth and development of various organs.
- Hormone levels. Here we are talking about different types of hormonal disorders that can reduce the amount of testosterone produced. This, in turn, will lead to disturbances in the development of the main sexual characteristics, and possibly also to a delay in maturity.
- Chronic disease. Often, chronic diseases can affect the development of the body as a whole and the function of individual organs. Therefore, if you suspect that the development of the genital organs is not going as it should, it is better to contact a specialist with this issue to avoid problems in the future.
- Unhealthy lifestyle. Bad habits, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, drugs - all these can cause disturbances in the development of the body. Diet and routine also have a big impact. Therefore, at the age of teenagers, it is advisable to live a healthy lifestyle and do sports.
What is a normal penis size?
According to statistics, most women are completely satisfied with the size of their man's penis. However, for men such data is not important; for them the size of the male organ is still very important. That is why many are interested in the question: how long is a man's penis?
According to average statistics, the normal size of the penis in a non-excited state is considered to be from 7 to 10 centimeters. When erect, a sufficient penis size is from 14 to 16 centimeters. In this case, the thickness of the erect penis should be from 3 to 5 centimeters. A small penis (in medical terms) is a penis that measures less than 10 centimeters when erect. Also in urology there is a term - "micropenis" - the designation of a penis whose size is less than 6 centimeters in an erect position.
This indicator is only an average, so you should not close the phone. Also, for most women, the length of a partner's penis is less important than other qualities of a person. After all, most women look for a potential father for future children and a husband in a man, and therefore do not pay attention to the size of the genitals.
What to do if your penis does not grow?
Often in adolescence, young people start to worry if the size of the penis does not change. It is important to note that during puberty there is no need to worry about penis growth. The fact is that during this period the development of the genitals occurs at intervals. Growth may slow or stop altogether for a while, and then accelerate sharply. In addition, the development of the penis alternates between growth and thickness, so sometimes the increase in length is not noticeable.
If you are still not satisfied with the size of the penis, it is highly discouraged to take any serious action, especially surgical intervention to enlarge the penis. During the teenage period, you can influence the growth of the genital organs by changing your diet and daily routine.

With the help of certain foods, you can increase the level of the testosterone hormone in the blood, which will lead to faster penis enlargement. During puberty, teenagers are recommended to consume more of the following foods:
- Seafood. Any fish or dish such as prawns, lobsters, crabs, mussels will do.
- Vegetables and fruits. It should be taken into account that it is better to choose red and green fruits. Such fruits and vegetables can have high lutein content. It is better to eat them raw, so there is a chance to get the maximum vitamins and nutrients.
- Greeneryfresh
- berries. You can eat any berries, it is best to combine them with cottage cheese.
- meat. You can eat any deli meat, but it is better to choose the least fatty type. It is important to steam or boil meat dishes.
- spices. Red pepper and curry seasoning work best in this case.
It is best to include as many fresh foods as possible in your diet. As a rule, when stored for a long time in the refrigerator or deep freeze, most products lose all the components that are nutritious and beneficial to the male body.
It has also been scientifically proven that smoking seriously affects the development of the male genitalia, and not in a positive way. That is why it is important to stop smoking during the period of formation of all sexual characteristics. And, of course, it is advisable not to use bad habits for the rest of your life.
What causes penis enlargement?
Today you can find just a huge amount of advertising that offers various ways to increase the length of the penis. Men are offered magic creams, ointments and pills that are supposed to make penises grow almost instantly, according to advertising. However, in reality, these promises turned out to be just tricks to attract customers. In reality, there are only two options for penis enlargement - wearing an extender and surgical enlargement.
These methods should be used only when the penis stops growing, that is, when the age of transition and puberty has long passed. When a man decides to undergo surgery to enlarge his penis, he is given the choice of whether to use a special implant or not.
The fact is that the operation is possible when the inside of the penis is surgically stretched, which increases it by 3-5 centimeters. Basically, such changes are enough for men. In some cases, men consent to the use of implants; this happens especially when the initial length of the erect penis is less than 12 centimeters.
![The size of the penis is small, which can be increased using an extender](/images/articles/3177/The%20size%20of%20the%20penis%20is%20small,%20which%20can%20be%20increased%20using%20an%20extender.jpg)
The second option on how you can influence the growth of the penis is to wear an extender. This device is certified and used by a large number of men. It works by securing the penis in a stretched state. When using the extender, additional cells of spongy tissue appear in the penis, which causes an increase in both length and width.
The only drawback of such a device is that you have to wear it for six months; in a shorter period, the desired effect cannot be achieved. You need to wear the extender every day for 4-6 hours. This will help increase the size of your penis by 4 centimeters in six months. At the same time, the thickness of the genital organs will also increase significantly, because within six months there will be a significant increase in soft tissue.
Corpora cavernosa is a special spongy tissue that reacts very sensitively to changes in temperature, as well as the content of various substances in men's blood. As a rule, the best method of penis enlargement is aimed specifically at the growth of corpora cavernosa cells. This is the easiest and surest way to increase penis size.
However, it should be understood that changes in the size of the penis usually occur during the day. This is again due to the response of the cells of the corpus cavernosum to the environment. That is why, before taking any penis enlargement product, you should consult a specialist to see if it is suitable for you at all and if it can help.
