Some men are concerned about their penis size,
and those who are preoccupied and severely distressed with the size of their
penis may even be diagnosed with Body Dysmorphic Disorder. There have been no
formal systematic reviews of penile size measurements and no attempts to create
a graphical diagram, or nomogram, that depicts the distribution of the size of
a flaccid or erect penis.
Dr. David
Veale, of King’s College London and the South London and Maudsley NHS
Foundation Trust, and his colleague from King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation
Trust, set out to create such a nomogram of male penis size measurements across
all ages and races. A search of the medical literature revealed 17 studies with
up to 15,521 males who underwent penis size measurements by health
professionals using a standard procedure. The nomograms revealed that the
average length of a flaccid penis was 9.16 cm, the average length of a flaccid
stretched penis was 13.24 cm, and the average length of an erect penis was
13.12 cm. The average flaccid circumference was 9.31 cm, and the average erect
circumference was 11.66 cm. There was a small correlation between erect length
and height.
“We believe
these graphs will help doctors reassure the large majority of men that the size
of their penis is in the normal range. We will also use the graphs to examine
the discrepancy between what a man believes to be their position on the graph
and their actual position or what they think they should be” said Dr. Veale. (bjuinternational.com)
