Question

Have i really not went through puberty at the age of 20 and with the following information? I am a 20 year old male and my penis is 2 inches long (non erect), my voice is not deep, my testicals have not dropped or look bigger from years ago, and I do not

Answer 1

Within normal range: It also depends on how you are measuring it. It is plenty long enough at your age. You have a lot of other things to worry about at your age that are far more important than the length of your penis unless your goal in life is to perform in porn movies.

Answer 2

Yes: It is not necessary to circumcise a boy but it does improve hygeine. Uncircumcised boys and parents will have to deal with that foreskin for many years to come. Most other males in this country are circumcised and this can become an issue in locker rooms. Circumcised males have fewer uti's and foreskin infections and there are some concerns about std transmission from long foreskins.

Answer 3

No: There is really no medical reason to have your newborn circumcised. If you have a personal or religious reason, it can be done safely and with relatively few complications. "looking like dadddy" is not really enough of a reason. Do some reading, ask your pediatrician. If you choose not to circumcise, your doctor can instruct you on how to care for the baby's foreskin.

Answer 4

No: From a medical viewpoint, the answer is no. There is huge variation in the percentage of baby boys that get circumcised. It depends on the ethnic group or the religious group that the family belongs to. Overall, in america, my estimate is that 2/3 of the baby boys get circumcised. Circumcised babies, however, have a lower chance of getting a bladder infection, compared to the uncircumcised.

Answer 5

Pros and Cons: Majority of caucasian americans + all muslims +jews are circumcised. Majority of european, hispanics +asians not. Fathers, sons + siblings like 2B similar. Utis in babies >frquent in incircumcised but utis in baby boys r uncommon. Indicated if urinary tract abnormalitise present, not if hypospadias or penile chordee. ? Reduce or increase premarture ejaculation. !10% un circ. Males trouble sometime.

Answer 6

No right answer: This is a personal choice with strong opinions on both sides. The medical literature suggests circumcision reduces risk of contracting HIV but so does having honest talks with your son when he's older. Otherwise, it's up to you.

Answer 7

Yes: The only requirement to achieve pregnancy is for sperm to reach the ovulated egg. Genital contact can still lead to pregnancy even in the absence of penetration if ejaculation occurs near the vaginal opening.

Answer 8

Not likely: Without deposition of sperm in the (upper) vagina the odds of pregnancy are significantly diminished. Therefore if a penis never enters the vagina this would not occur. If enough semen were placed into the vagina in some other way it is theoretically possible to become pregnant.

Answer 9

Possibly: Any time there is question of whether a skin lesion on the penis is an std, it must be seen and evaluated. Not all skin lesions are std's but visual inspection is very important in addition to clinical history. Also, some skin lesions may resolve spontaneously and are an std, making one believe that everything is okay.If there is a chance it may a sexually contracted lesion, it needs to be checked.

Answer 10

Maybe. : Have your doctor look at it to determine if its an std, another problem, or a normal penile pearl.

Answer 11

Needs to be examined: This sounds like a congenital problem. Needs to be examined to determine if a previous circumsion has created scar tissus that needs removal. The urologist will be able to make a very quick determination if this is a surgical problem.

Answer 12

Jock itch: Sounds more like a tinea infection. U should keep the area clean and dry. Don't rub or scratch as it makes the rash worse. Heat n sweat r not good. Otc anti fungal powder/ cream can be tried.
