Pediatrics 47 years experience
? penis size ?: Penis size varies from birth within a broad range. One of the first signs of male puberty on exam is increased testis size, not just length/girth. The 1st worthwhile screening tool for puberty is a bone age x-ray of a wrist/hand. If the bone age is not accelerated, it means no pubertal hormonal effects are present & blood tests unnecessary.

I think I over masturbated during puberty and that probably affected how I couldve ended up. Masturbating changes hormones increases estrogen. Im thinking if I didnt do that I couldve had a deeper voice and bigger penis. Thoughts?
