Micropenis (micropenis)

Dealing with a micropenis can present various challenges and there are different treatment approaches, including hormonal therapies during childhood or surgical procedures (e.g. penis enlargement).

That is the horrible official definition in some areas of medicine.

But, to put it bluntly:

There is no scientifically defined micropenis, there is no international agreement on what officially constitutes a small penis, one describes the micropenis as seven centimeters long, the other writes of nine centimeters. But the vast majority of doctors are probably smart enough not to define a micropenis in terms of centimetres, because as soon as you set a number and say that everything below that is considered a small penis and everything above is normal, you’re setting a centimetre length that all women in the world should please be satisfied with. That’s an interesting idea.

We believe that whoever the doctor actually says to a patient that they are seven or nine centimetres is completely unaware of how misogynistic they are and how much they completely deny female sexuality. As if a woman is taken from a DIY kit and always built the same way at the bottom.

What is too small a penis in an individual case is not decided by some professor of medicine or some association chairman, but what is too small in an individual case is decided by whether the two partners – and sexual intercourse is a partnership matter – are satisfied with what is available or not.

Because what is the consequence? Would the extremely self-confident professor, who says something about seven centimeters, then advise the patient to end the partnership and look for a new partner because the old one “dares” not to be satisfied with eight centimeters, because she probably perceives it more as a mini-penis?

Medicine is sometimes terribly conservative in relation to the normal reality of the population. But this topic, this word micropenis alone and the arrogance of wanting to determine what a woman should and shouldn’t do, can no longer be described with the word conservative alone in our opinion.

How do we do this, how do we decide whether or not to accept a patient with a micropenis for surgical penis enlargement?

We take a pragmatic approach: Nature has arranged it in such a way – because it wants humanity to survive – that the mass of men and women fit together physically. But as with everything, including physical characteristics, there are outliers that mean that something doesn’t fit.

If you have such a pragmatic approach, you have to look at what the mean value actually is. In other words, what is really “small”, i.e. at least smaller than the average, and not just the idea of an eternally yesterday’s doctor? And here we still adhere to the European condom standard, because it specifies in centimetres how long a condom should be. And this value is no coincidence, this value is based on experience and that’s why we use it as a guide.

Forgive us the following sarcasm: If a ten centimeter penis were a normal size, but condoms have to be at least 16.5 centimeters long, where are all the gynecologists who try to get the condom out of the woman with pliers because it has slipped off due to the excess size? We are not aware of such procedures being billed to the health insurance company.
