micropenis

Posted , 5 users are following.

My 24 year old son has been depressed for months, he is overweight and on a diet, his girlfriend of 6 years ended their relationship 2 months ago and today he told me he has an under developed penis. This is causing so much anxiety for him, the thought of intimacy with another girl is really frightening him. His last girlfriend told him she was disappointed with their sex life. He discussed phallographywith me but I am wondering if there is another solution which is not as invasive,eg hormone treatment?

    Penis size varies greatly from man to man. I should know because, as a vasectomist, I have seen over 30,000 of them for my sins! Big or small they are all "normal" and they all work -- otherwise the man would not be coming in for a vasectomy!

    Penis size fixation is exploited on the internet with all sorts of bogus "treatments" and exercises. None of these are any good. Nor would I recomend penis extension surgery either.

    I think your son should go for phychotherapy to help him with his self-image. He should also be open and frank with his next girlfriend about his size issue and make light of it. As Masters and Johnson said "It is not the size of the wand that makes the magic!"

      Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it, my son is already in psychotherapy for the past 7 months and his therapist has advised him to go for surgery.

    Being overweight is linked to a small penis.

    if you are thin and exercise a lot there is more testosterone and male hormones.  There is also better blood circulation to the penis.

    If you are thin and exercise a lot there will be stronger harder erections .  This will lead to expansion of the penis.

    another thing to watch out for is to avoid a lot of pressure on the penis in masturbation.  This causes energy to be diverted into repair rather than growth.

    Also, make sure he avoids too much time on the computer.  The electromagnetic radiation from the monitor affects the brain and face.

      Thank you for your comment, my son now tells me he had this problem long before he put on the weight and is aware that he put on the weight to ward off imtimacy and being exposed. Unfortunately his line of work requires him to sit infront of a compiter...Oh the joys of life..I will certainly convey yoyr reply to him..Many thanks.

    Dear Brenda00079

    I have been through the horrible torture of penis issues and do fully understand where you are coming from, but i will be firm and straight about the solution to the problem, the terrible truth is that you need to have something to satisfy the female partner, if your son doesn't have this it has to be put their, i went through 4 operations to save the penis i was born with, it was an inadaquate size , lacked structure and not usable, i had to agonise and decide if it was savable and could become something through surgery. if the penis is erect to less than 3 inches then really the only solution is to remove and reconstruct using whats known as a phalloplastic reconstruction, this requires an arm graft by taking the nerve endings from the inside of the arm and wrapping it around a synthetic phallus,and removing the original penis from the body,taking what ever nerve endings from the original ,biological penis as well, it is the very last resort and only done for severe small/micropenis, The UCHL near warren street london, has the best experts in penis issues and doctors there have years of experience. the micropenis is a mockery of the male gender and causes a deep unspoken pain, the Patent (one of them) link  is another option is https://www.google.com/patents/US7584757?dq=phalloplasty&hl=en&sa=X&ei=xOgEVJbXLIWP0AWM54G4Dw&sqi=2&pjf=1&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA  

    I am not a doctor , and so you should decide with the approapriate medical teams the best way forward, i'm simply telling you of my experience. 

    Sadly i do feel the male gender to be under a massive disadvantage against the dominate female population. 

    All the best to you.

      Dear jonny83008,

      Thank you, I really appreciate your comment and your honesty. It is so reassuring to be 'heard'. I am so sorry that this has been your experience. I am wondering if you had a choice, would you do it all again? My son has been put on a waiting list to see a urologist so we are at the very early stages yet.

      Thank you for the link, it is very informative.

      Kind regards.
