Question

What's the cause of these occasional small red growths on my penis? Hello, about six or seven years ago, before becoming sexually active, i had a small, strange pimple-like growth on the shaft of my penis. It went away, just like a normal pimple, and i pr

Answer 1

Any number of things: Growths on the skin, especially in the genital areas, can be from many different causes. Some are benign (non-serious) and others are more serious (warts, skin cancer, etc.) the only way to tell with certainty is to have this checked by your doctor.

Answer 2

See a dermatologist: It is very important to see a board certified dermatologist to have the lesion checked. Any new or non-healing lesions could represent an std, wart or skin cancer. There are also some benign lesions that can occur on the penis. Your lesion has been there for years and I am assuming it has not changed over this time period. Regardless, please have it checked to be safe.

Answer 3

Many: Many disorders affect the penis including cancer, skin lesions including herpes, and genital warts. Lack of blood supply to the penis can cause penile gangene (usually from a condition called atrial fibrillation or peripheral vascualr disease). Blockage and scarring of the urethra may make it difficult to urinate. Of course erectile dysfunction may occur requiring medical or surgical treatment.

Answer 4

DISORDERS: Diabetes, hypertention, psychologic issues, blood vessel issues.

Answer 5

Depends: While results vary across studies, the consensus is that the mean human penis is approximately 12.9–15 CM (5.1–5.9 in) in length with a 95% confidence interval of (10.7 cm, 19.1 cm) (or, equivalently, 4.23 in, 7.53 in). The consensus on typical circumference is 12.3 CM (4.85 in), requiring a diameter of roughly 3.9 CM (1.54 in) when fully erect. Patricio gagollo, pediatric urology dallas, texas.

Answer 7

Puberty: You penis will not grow after puberty is complete.

Answer 8

As you finish: Puberty, generally by age 16, although some males are slower and finish later.

Answer 9

Unless you entered: Puberty late, growth will likely end by age 17 at the latest.

Answer 10

No: There are no drugs that will increase penis size.

Answer 11

No, none successful: Many penis enlargement pills, creams, and magic potions are advertised, but they do not work. Almost every penis that can get a firm erection is big enough for the job (one can see a urologist if one has a rare case of an abnormally tiny penis). Occasionally, one or both partners have too much body fat, making certain positions of sexual activity seem difficult (weight loss helps in those cases).

Answer 12

Penis: Pills or much of anything else to increase penis size are a scamBetween 5 and 6 inches is average, and what the media (yes, including porn) tries to sell you is the idea of having to be hung like a horse to satisfy a woman. Guess what? Some women find such massive equipment painful, which is NOT what sex is about. It's not the size of the waves, it the motion in the ocean that makes it satisfying.
