A member asked:
Is the length of your penis genetic? if someone produces more testosterone than another during puberty, would it mean that theirs would be bigger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes & no: The general potential for all of your body parts is determined by an interplay between your genes and the hormone production that pushes them to mature. If something interferes with hormone production chronically, your system may not achieve its potential. Excess hormone production does not, however, always translate into exceeding the fixed genetic potential.
