Question 1

i am a male. an adult. i went through puberty at age 14. my wife and i noticed at age 37 my penis has grown two inches in length and i cannot penetrate her all the way. i want to avoid causing her pain. why did it grow at age 34?

Accepted Answer

: A man's penis usually stops growing in his 20's. The average length of the erect penis is less than 6 inches. What size is yours? Perhaps your wife's vaginal length is less than average. She could ask her gynecologist to evaluate&amp; advise her when she mentions your problem of fully penetrating her during intercourse like different positions,lots of lubricant,relaxation techniques.

Question 2

what should i do to get at least an inch or two taller during puberty?

Accepted Answer

Eat healthy: Exercise, don't smoke or drink alcohol or take drugs.

Question 3

can i still grow 2 more inches at age 16? i went through puberty already but i am still small.

Accepted Answer

Still growing: you can keep growing as long as the growth plates in your bones have not closed.  The only way to determine that is to get X-rays.

Question 4

i grew two inches every year in the past two years, i started puberty around age 10 and im 14 now. will i keep growing?

Accepted Answer

: Growth potential can be assessed with an x-ray of your wrist/palm. There are growth center in long bones of the fingers that can be used to predict growth potential. Most males will grow 2.5"/yr until they near the end. When they grow less than 1"/yr they are near the end. Male stature growth often stops between 16-18.

Question 5

is it normal to grow 1 inch only per year during puberty?

Accepted Answer

No: Even the prepubertal school age children grow 2 inches per year.

Question 6

read online claims of adults way past puberty growing taller. any truth to that? can a 40yo grow nearly 3 inches out of the blue w/o any explanation?

Accepted Answer

Acromegaly: Acromegaly is a condition caused by a benign pituitary tumor which secretes growth hormone. It can cause growth of the hands, feet, and increasing height in middle age.  The diagnosis could be made by an endocrinologist.

Question 7

hi, im 24 now, male and im 5'6 height i want to grow more taller.. i saw a ad saying that any one can grow upto 6 to 8 inches after puberty. help me?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: At 24 years old your growth plate (an area in your bones) is very much likely closed. Ads, unfortunately claim things are are not medically possible and sometimes engage patients on risky procedures or medications.  5 6" is not a very short stature after all. Think of all the successful people out there who are very short! good luck.

Question 8

is it possible  to grow taller after puberty? i'm 23 year old nd i stopped growing at the age of 15.is there any exercise so that i can grow 2 inches

Accepted Answer

Growing taller: Once your growth plates have closed off in your bones you will stop growing.  There is not drug to change this.   Growth hormone can only be used to increase height while the growth plates are still open.

Question 9

i'm 16yrs and 166 tall im asian male i hit puberty around 14 and had a growth spurt since last year i have only grown an inch or less will i grow more

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Once your bones have fused no further growth in height is possible. This usually happens in males around the age of 16 or 17 so you may grow a bit more.

Question 10

how many inches in height does a male grow during puberty?
i heard that on average, males grow 12 inches in height.
but those who start early puberty, should grow 14 inches.
i had early puberty, but only grew 10.5 inches. does this mean i was stunted

Accepted Answer

Missing information: Yes, the average male will grow ~12 inches in puberty. Those who start early, which is usually driven by familial/genetic factors will often end puberty sooner and may not reach that 12 inch level. The expected final height of a male is ~1/2 the total height of both parents +2.5 in +/-.At a listed age of 16 you might have more time to grow.A bone age x-ray could provide this info.
