Question: I'm 18 and I think I have a micropenis, around 3 inches ercted. What are my options?

Flaccid size is almost immeasurable sometimes. I know there kind of things are usually discovered during childhood however none of my physicals reviled this information to me until I researched it myself.

Brief Answer:
Stretched penile length should be considered

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Having 3 inch of erected penis is acceptable and there is no cause for concern.
When the penis is not erected it could appear immeasurable because it could be buried in pre pubic pad of fat. It is more commonly seen in obese individual. Stretched penile length (SPL) Of more than 4 cm is adequate.
Do send me clinical photograph for further assessment.


Take care
