A member asked:

Is there an association between prostatitis and penis shape?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Simon Kimm answered

Specializes in Urology

No. : The size and shape of the penis is determined genetically and by the influence of hormones at specific periods of development. Infections of the prostate are not associated with abnormalities of penile anatomy. After surgical removal of the prostate, there may be some small change in the length and girth of the penis.
