“…12 Also described in aging men, a decrease in penile extensibility because of the loss of elasticity of the tunica albuginea. 5,13 Despite this, Schneider et al 4 found that the erect penile length did not differ significantly in the erect state between young and older men, although younger men had significantly wider penises. In this study, in group one, the stretched length was longer and the width narrower than that reported by Ponchietti et al 10 of young Italian males.…”

The purpose of this work was to determine penile size in adult normal (group one, 271) and impotent (group two, 109) Jordanian patients. Heights of the patients, the flaccid and fully stretched penile lengths were measured in centimeters in both groups. Midshaft circumference in the flaccid state was recorded in group one. Penile length in the fully erect penis was measured in group two. In group one mean midshaft circumference was 8.9871.4, mean flaccid length was mean 9.371.9, and mean stretched length was 13.572.3. In group two, mean flaccid length was 7.771.3, and mean stretched length was 11.671.4. The mean of fully erect penile length after trimex injection was 11.871.5. In group 1 there was no correlation between height and flaccid length or stretched length, but there was a significant correlation between height and midpoint circumference, flaccid and stretched lengths, and between stretched lengths and midpoint circumference. In group 2 there was no correlation between height and flaccid, stretched, or fully erect lengths. On the other hand, there was a significant correlation between the flaccid, stretched and fully erect lengths. Comparing group 1 and group 2, the patients in group 1 were slightly older than in group 2 (P ¼ 0.035), but there was no significant difference in their height. However, there was a significant difference regarding the mean flaccid length 9.3 vs 7.7 (P ¼ 0.001), and the mean stretched length 13.5 vs 11.6 (P ¼ 0.000). We divided both groups into those who are less than 40 y of age, and over 40 y old. There was no statistical difference in the stretched and flaccid lengths between the younger and older individuals in each group. However, when we compared the stretched and flaccid lengths in those of less than 40 y old in group 1 and 2, a significant difference was noticed. Similarly, a significant difference in the stretched and flaccid lengths in those patients over 40 y of age was also present.

“…3,4 On the other hand, it would help to educate and inform patients about normal penile sizes, who are anxious about the size of their penis and to manufacture condoms in the correct sizes. 5 Many studies have investigated penile measurement and its relationship to somatometric parameters such as height, weight, waist/hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), shoe size and index finger length. 6 --9 The largest study on penile length in the current literature was done by Ponchietti et al 9 on 3300 young Italian males.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the average penile length of a group of healthy, young Turkish men, and to investigate the relationship between penile length and somatometric parameters in the same group. The flaccid and stretched length and circumference of the penis was measured in a group of 2276 physically normal, young men. The correlation between penile length and weight, height and body mass index (BMI) of the participants was determined by Pearson's analysis. The mean age of the participants was 21.1±3.1 (18 --39) years. The mean flaccid, fully stretched and circumferential length of the participants' penises were 8.95±1.04, 13.98±1.58 and 8.89±0.86 cm, respectively. There was a significant relationship between all of these variables (Po0.01). Although weak positive correlations were found between the mean circumference length and BMI, there were no correlations between both the flaccid and stretched lengths and BMI. The penile length must be known to be able to determine the abnormal penile sizes and to make convenient decisions in the counseling and/or treatment of people with short penis concerns. Our study provides mean penile lengths in a large sample of healthy, young Turkish men, and the penile dimensions were found to be weakly correlated with somatometric parameters.

“…[1][2][3][4] Data on normal size of penis will help (1) to perform correct diagnostic assessment and therapeutic choices, (2) to educate and counsel the patients with concerns about 'penile size adequacy', and (3) to manufacture condoms with correct size. 5 Previous studies on phallic dimensions (Table 1) are limited and there is a wide difference in methodology. 6 So far no study has been reported on this topic from India.…”

Apprehension about the normal size of penis is a major concern for men. Aim of the present investigation is to estimate the penile length and circumference of Indian males and to compare the results with the data from other countries. Results will help in counseling the patients worried about the penile size and seeking penis enlargement surgery. Penile length in flaccid and stretched conditions and circumference were measured in a group of 301 physically normal men. Erected length and circumference were measured for 93 subjects. Mean flaccid length was found to be 8.21 cm, mean stretched length 10.88 cm and circumference 9.14 cm. Mean erected length was found to be 13.01 cm and erected circumference was 11.46 cm. Penile dimensions are found to be correlated with anthropometric parameters. Insight into the normative data of penile size of Indian males obtained. There are significant differences in the mean penile length and circumference of Indian sample compared to the data reported from other countries. Study need to be continued with a large sample to establish a normative data applicable to the general population.
