When does the penis grow in men and until what age?

Issues of puberty worry the stronger sex literally all their lives - from youth (14-16 years old) to old age (up to 45 years old). Up to how many years manhood grows, is it possible to force the body to accelerate growth and what is needed for this? A topic that remains relevant for many years. It is impossible to reveal it in one sentence, because the tissues of the penis function differently for everyone. Large size plays a huge role in the formation of self-esteem in adolescence and the correct attitudes for the rest of your life, gives confidence in your abilities.

When does the penis start to grow?

In the womb, the reproductive system begins to form in the seventh week of pregnancy. The first to develop are the sex glands: the ovaries or testes, depending on the saturation of their hormones, it depends on which male or female genitals will grow. It is safe to say that testosterone affects the size and normal development of the male penis even before the baby is born. Therefore, sometimes even during the first ultrasound, it is possible to determine the sex of the child.

After that, from birth to 5 years, testicular cells are not yet capable of producing androgens, so neither the behavior nor the appearance of boys is very different from girls. Already from 5 to 9 years old, the testes begin to actively develop and the first precursors of spermatozoa appear. However, this period is still sometimes called asexual by specialists, since it is not characterized by vigorous growth.

From 10-12 years old, when testosterone is rapidly synthesized in a guy's body, secondary sexual characteristics begin to appear:

• hair growth;
• breaking voice;
• the penis is developing.

In the period from 13 to 16 years, the rapid development of the musculoskeletal system, an increase in the genital organ and the appearance of the first emissions have a strong effect on the mental health of a teenager. It is at this age that complexes and insecurities are formed, which in later life will interfere with sexual relations.

They are quite easy to avoid, you just need to conduct sex education lessons and explain to a teenager that, for example, at 14-16 years old, the length in an inactive state is 6 cm and this is the average norm. But in an erect position, it reaches 12 cm. A more important parameter is the width (that is, the circumference), for young men the average value is 7 cm. It is this indicator that is responsible for creating pleasant sensations in the fair half of humanity. Condom manufacturers classify sizes based on length and thickness.

How old is the penis?

In the phase of active growth, male dignity can grow by 2-7 cm in length, and by 2-5 cm in circumference, and by the age of 18 reaches its final size. However, the development of the body and hormonal levels affect puberty, and in some guys it can last up to 25 years. All changes in our body are strictly individual, and the concept of the norm in sexology is rather vague.

The length at rest does not in any way reflect the same parameter during an erection. With sexual stimulation, the penis can grow up to 10 cm! That is, if the value in the "inactive" state is 8 cm, then immediately before the contact it can reach 16 cm, exceeding the average statistical norm

Significant deviations from this indicator are called:

• micropenis;
• megalopenis.

Doctors consider a pathology to be a true micropenis, when in an erect state the length does not exceed 9 cm, the corresponding genetics or congenital testosterone deficiency leads to this violation. It is important to distinguish between true micropenis and occult penis syndrome, which is usually caused by overdeveloped subcutaneous adipose tissue in the pubic region.

Megalopenis usually indicates an increased activity of the adrenal cortex, in rare cases, together with a tumor of secretory cells of the connective tissue of the testicle, which entails an excessively high level of steroid production (above the reference values). At the same time, the size of manhood is at least 20 cm, and sometimes even reaches 30 cm.

What does it depend on?

The height and size of the dignity of men depends on some nuances. Starting from a genetic predisposition, and ending with a health condition in general.

Genetics

The main factor seems to be heredity. The genes encoding the male reproductive system are located on the Y chromosome and, accordingly, are passed from father to son.

Race is considered important. In 2012, a large-scale study was carried out, during which it was revealed that representatives of the Negroid race have the largest "device" (about 17 cm, on average). Whereas the Caucasian race has about 13.5 cm, and in Asian countries the average value is about 10 cm.

Hormones

The endocrine balance has an important effect on the individual development of a person, and the genitals are no exception. It is especially important to monitor your hormonal levels at puberty, when all structures of the body are vigorously growing and developing - from the heart to the sexual.

And, of course, for the size of the external genitalia. Accordingly, the higher the level of the hormone during "male" maturation, the more the penis will grow.

Condition of blood vessels

Blood supply and oxygenation of tissues is one of the most important functions in the body, and the reproductive system is no exception. If an organ experiences constant ischemia (lack of arterial blood and, as a result, oxygen), then it gradually loses its function and dies.

Cardiovascular diseases, in particular atherosclerosis, have a direct impact on erectile dysfunction and penis size. So, if in adolescence there was a blockage of the arteries, then male dignity simply cannot grow large, due to the restriction of nutrient intake.

What if it doesn't grow?

• Firstly, do not panic, and turn to a specialist, he will conduct a series of analyzes and tests, which will help to identify the normal individual size and, if it is insufficient, what factors influenced it. It can also prevent complications such as impotence, impaired sperm quality and even infertility.
• Secondly, an adult needs to reconsider his lifestyle, because being overweight affects the size of the penis. Adipose tissue is deposited not only on the abdomen, but also on the pubis, thus covering the part of the penis, which is located in the scrotum, and visually reducing it. In addition, an unbalanced diet increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and blood clots.
• Third, get rid of bad habits. Smoking is one of the main causes of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis. In the international classification of diseases (ICD-10), a separate Z2 code was even allocated to designate this dependence. The beginning of the formation of atherosclerosis occurs at the age of 12-14, this is an inevitable natural process. It is possible to influence only the speed of its progression, and this directly depends on the person's lifestyle.

How to achieve maximum progress in the growth of the penis?

The industry offers men many opportunities to increase their "dignity". All ointments, creams and tablets work in approximately the same way, they increase the flow of blood and the filling of the corpora cavernosa, which helps to increase the volume and length of dignity during an erection.

Medical drugs belong to the group of synthetic stimulants and block the enzyme phosphodiesterase 5, thereby promoting the production of a natural relaxant for blood vessels - nitric oxide. It increases the lumen of the arteries and more saturated blood flows to the organ. All these drugs are aimed at combating impotence, and as a side effect, they increase the size and intensify orgasms.

With hormonal imbalance, it is possible to use testosterone replacement therapy. Such treatment can only be prescribed by the attending physician, and then after a series of tests to identify the absolute value of androgen in the blood serum and the absence of contraindications. Hormone therapy is a serious step and when choosing it it is necessary to weigh the pros and cons, as there is a risk of developing a "withdrawal syndrome". This disorder is characterized by a significant decrease or complete cessation of the production of its androgens.

If you are not ready to take such risks, then it is possible to use natural preparations that work in a similar way. Due to herbal ingredients, they have significantly fewer contraindications. For example, taking tablets containing tribulus creeping thanks to the steroid saponin protodioscin has a stimulating effect on the synthesis of the body's own steroids. This plant compound is the precursor of all human sex hormones and does not cause withdrawal symptoms when taken.

You can use various dietary supplements and creams that work on the principle of vitamins, nourish the corpus cavernosum and promote blood flow. They supply the body with essential minerals and tone the vascular wall. Promptly affecting protein metabolism in tissues, they can slightly enlarge the penis (by 2-5 cm). The best results are shown as part of complex therapy, together with a strengthening massage and special exercises designed to make the genital organ longer and thicker.

If a man is not at all satisfied with the size, and he wants to increase the "device" not only during an erection, but also in a calm state, there are only two effective ways:

• using the expander;
• operation.

At the same time, you do not have to worry about how old the penis grows, since the cells divide and renew all their lives, just at a young age they are much stronger. Using the technique, you can correct the value, as well as remove various deformations and curvatures.

Any surgical intervention is a huge risk, therefore, an operation to increase dignity must be approached extremely carefully. During the operation, the doctor places inflatable or semi-rigid (bendable) prostheses next to (or instead of) the corpus cavernosum. The operation is indicated only when the size of the male member is not more than 10 cm in an erect state and with preconditions for potency disorders.

A male member grows all his life: myth or reality?

Like any other organ in the body, the penis grows throughout its life. Smooth muscle cells and epithelium are constantly multiplying and renewing, the size itself does not change much, more attention is paid to the direct function of reproduction, that is, the development of the testicles.

Active growth is observed during puberty and depends mainly on a normal background and a sufficient amount of nutrients. The reproductive instinct is one of the most important, therefore, in the male body, everything is aimed at procreation:

• increasing the sensitivity of the head;
• improving sperm quality;
• ensuring normal sperm motility.
