Is it normal for the penis to be small when soft?

The penis is a very important reproductive organ for men, and its length is also a problem that men are more concerned about. In daily life, some men will find that the length of their penis is very short when it is in a flaccid state. Because it is related to the quality of their future sex life, they are often very worried. So, is it normal for the penis to be very small when it is flaccid? Let's take a closer look.

The length of an adult penis when erect is 11-16cm, and the circumference is 10.8cm; the length in a natural state is 7-9cm, and the circumference is 6.9-9.4cm. If it is less than 5cm in a flaccid state and less than 10cm when erect, it is called a short penis. For most men, sexual maturity is at the age of 18, and basic development is almost complete.

The scientific way to measure penis length is from the pubic bone to the glans penis.

There are two methods commonly used by doctors:

1. Measurement of non-erect penis length: At room temperature of 18°C, stand upright, lift the penis to 90° with the body, and use a ruler to measure the length from the pubic symphysis above the penis to the top of the glans penis.

The second is to measure the length of the erect penis: stand upright, pinch the glans penis with your hands and pull it forward until it can no longer be extended, and use a ruler to measure the length from the pubic joint to the glans penis (the length after pulling is basically the same as the length when erect).

The International Men's Health Organization (MTD) has developed a formula for calculating whether the penis size is normal (Asia) through nearly 30 years of research:

Normal penis length M = (height T-105) * 0.618/3.14 (cm) Normal penis diameter D = M/3.14 (cm) (European and American = Asian/1.414/0.618) cm

The above formula is only calculated based on most statistics. Actual data proves that penis length has nothing to do with height. The size of the penis is more closely related to race and genetics.

The above is an introduction to whether it is normal for the penis to be very small when it is soft. I hope it will help patients understand it. When a man's penis is flaccid, it is generally shorter than when it is erect. This is normal. You can use these measurement indicators to have a comprehensive understanding of your own situation. If it is shorter than that of ordinary people, you can take appropriate measures to improve it.
