According to many scientific studies conducted around the world, the average penis length in the erect (hardened) state is between 13-15 cm. In the resting (flaccid) state, this measure varies between 7-10 cm on average. Of course, these values may vary from individual to individual depending on age, genetic factors and body structure.   <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A frequently asked question at this point is: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omerbayrak.com\/en\/how-many-cm-does-penis-enlargement-surgery-lengthen\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many cm does penis enlargement surgery extend?<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omerbayrak.com\/en\/penis-enlargement\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penis enlargement surgery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> performed by surgical methods<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, a lengthening between 2 and 5 cm can be achieved. The success of the surgery may vary depending on the anatomical structure of the person, the surgeon&#8217;s technique and the patient&#8217;s expectations. Such procedures must be evaluated by a specialized urologist or plastic surgeon and planned individually.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Measure_Penis_Size\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Measure Penis Size?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measuring penis length accurately is very important for a healthy evaluation. Errors made during measurement may cause the penis length to be perceived as shorter or longer than it is. For this reason, the measurement process should be done according to certain rules and with the correct technique.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most accurate penis measurement should be performed in an erect and erect position. When measuring penis length, the question of how to measure penis size is often asked. The scientific measurement method is based on measuring the distance between the root of the penis and the tip (glans). When taking the measurement, the ruler or tape measure should be pressed against the pubic bone (upper part of the groin). This reduces the effect of fatty tissue and provides a more accurate measurement.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measure along the top of the penis in a straight line to the tip. Not only the part visible from the outside, but also the fixed part under the skin should be taken into account. The thickness (circumference) measurement is taken from the middle of the penis, encircled with a soft tape measure.  <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Obesity_and_the_Effect_of_Age\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obesity and the Effect of Age<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many physical and hormonal factors can affect penis size and sexual performance. Obesity and age are the most important of these. Obesity can directly affect the appearance and function of the penis both aesthetically and physiologically. Fat tissue accumulated especially in the abdominal area partially covers the body of the penis, making it appear shorter. This is not due to a physical shortening of the length of the penis, but to a decrease in its visible part.    <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With age, testosterone hormone production decreases in the body. This can cause both a decrease in sexual desire and a decrease in erection quality. In addition, blood circulation slows down with age, vascular elasticity decreases and this negatively affects the blood flow to the penis. All these factors can change both the appearance of penis size and sexual performance over time.   <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Consult_a_Doctor_About_Penis_Size\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to Consult a Doctor About Penis Size?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although concerns about penis size are often caused by misinformation, in some cases there may be serious signs that need to be medically evaluated. It is very important to get an expert opinion, especially in cases that cause self-confidence problems, make sexual intercourse difficult or differ anatomically. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following conditions are the main signs to consult a urologist:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Significantly shorter penis length in erection (usually below 7-8 cm)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erectile dysfunction or dysfunction during intercourse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developmental delay or structural disorders in adolescence<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visible penis shrinkage over time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penile recession due to obesity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penis size obsession or psychological pressure affecting daily life<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In such cases, it is recommended to seek the support of an experienced specialist for the correct diagnosis and solution. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omerbayrak.com\/en\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assoc.
