For every man, the question of his masculine strength and masculine dignity is extremely important. This is why men begin to worry about the size of their penis as early as adolescence. If the nose and ears grow with increasing age, the other organs may remain unchanged throughout life or even shrink. In this regard, the question often arises: until what age does a penis grow?
At what age does penis growth stop?
It is believed that a man's genital organs develop during puberty, that is, at the time of puberty. This period, as a rule, begins from 9 to 14 years and ends at 17. It is at 17 that penis growth ends in men. However, for some adolescents, growth may continue until the age of 22-25. As a rule, this is associated with a late onset of puberty. After 17 years, a man's penis increases in thickness, while its length decreases by about half a centimeter.
Puberty in adolescents occurs individually and can begin at different periods.. Basically, the formation of the male skeleton and secondary sexual characteristics begins around 12-14 years of age. At the same time, the penis begins to gradually grow and thicken. Subsequently, the sexual organ grows by about one centimeter per year. At the same time, during puberty, a man's penis not only grows, but also develops: the testicles enlarge, the formation of the foreskin ends, and the skin of the scrotum becomes rougher.
Every man subconsciously wants to be a winner, a leader. It's no secret that the size of the penis can become both a source of pride and a reason for insecurity for a representative of the stronger half of humanity. That is why many are interested in the age at which the penis grows. Sometimes this problem becomes very important, since the complete development and formation of the body does not meet the expectations of man. In such cases, as a rule, young men resort to various means to enlarge their penis.
How do male reproductive organs develop?
To understand how the penis grows, it is enough to trace the entire path of its development. The formation of the penis in men occurs in the womb, around the third month of pregnancy. After the birth of the baby, the length of the boy's genital organ is approximately 1. 5-2. 5 centimeters. In the first period of life, that is, up to 9-10 years, the penis grows only by 4-5 centimeters.
Most growth and development occurs in adolescents during the maturation period. Puberty begins between the ages of 9 and 13. At this time, hormones begin to behave actively, due to which the penis enlarges and other sexual characteristics appear.

At the age of 15-16, adolescents experience so-called wet dreams - ejaculation during night sleep. It is at this time that a young man can be considered ready for sexual activity. Until the age of 18-19, the growth of the penis continues, the foreskin develops, the testicles enlarge, and the color of the skin on the scrotum changes. The growth of the genital organ stops at the age of 22, and after that the length can only decrease slightly.
Don't worry if, in calm conditions, the length of the genital organ seems rather short. Often, during arousal, the penis increases several times and lengthens. The fears of young people regarding the size of the male organ are quite understandable, however, one should not dwell on this, because, as practice shows, too large a penis can damage the internal organs of a woman and, as a result, bring her only Pain . Furthermore, penis size often plays no role during sexual intercourse.
What influences penis size?

There are several factors that influence penis growth. This is not surprising, because the growth of the sexual organ and its development is an individual process that can differ. The following circumstances can affect penis growth:
- Genetics. Hereditary characteristics are passed on to each person, but it is necessary to understand that they manifest themselves not only in appearance, but also in the structure, growth and development of various organs.
- Hormone levels. Here we are talking about various types of hormonal disorders that can reduce the amount of testosterone produced. This, in turn, will lead to disturbances in the development of primary sexual characteristics and perhaps even a delay in maturation.
- Chronic diseases. Often, chronic diseases can affect the development of the body as a whole and the functioning of individual organs. Therefore, if you suspect that the development of the genital organs is not going as it should, it is better to contact a specialist with this problem to avoid problems in the future.
- Unhealthy lifestyle. Bad habits, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, drugs - all this can lead to disorders in the development of the body. Diet and routine also have a big impact. Therefore, in adolescence, it is advisable to lead a healthy lifestyle and play sports.
What penis size is considered normal?
According to statistics, most women are absolutely satisfied with the size of their man's penis. However, for men these data are not significant, for them the size of the male organ is still very important. That is why many are interested in the question: how long should a man's penis be?
According to average statistics, the normal size of the penis in a non-excited state is between 7 and 10 centimeters. When erect, the adequate size of the penis is between 14 and 16 centimeters. In this case, the thickness of the erect penis should be between 3 and 5 centimeters. A small penis (in medicine) is a penis that measures less than 10 centimeters when erect. Even in urology there is the term "micropenis" which designates a penis whose size is less than 6 centimeters in the erect state.
These indicators are only averages, so you should not fixate on them. Moreover, for most women, the length of the partner's penis is less important than other human qualities. After all, most women look for a potential father of future children and a husband in a man, and therefore pay little attention to the size of the genitals.
What to do if your penis doesn't grow?
Often in adolescence young people begin to worry if the size of the penis does not change. It is important to note that during puberty there is no need to worry about penis growth. The fact is that during this period the development of the genital organs occurs at intervals. Growth may slow or stop completely for a while, then accelerate sharply. Furthermore, the development of the penis alternates between growth and thickness, so sometimes the increase in length is not evident.
If you are still not satisfied with the size of the penis, it is not recommended to take any serious action, especially surgery to enlarge the penis. During the period of adolescence, you can influence the growth of the genital organs by changing your diet and daily routine.

With the help of certain foods it is possible to increase the level of the hormone testosterone in the blood, which will lead to faster penis enlargement. During puberty, adolescents are recommended to consume greater amounts of the following foods:
- Seafood. Any fish or delicacies such as shrimp, lobster, crab and mussels will work.
- Vegetables and fruit. It should be borne in mind that it is better to choose red and green fruits. Such fruits and vegetables can boast a high lutein content. It is better to eat them raw, then there is a chance to get the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients.
- Greenfresh.
- Berries. You can eat any berries, it is better to combine them with cottage cheese.
- Meat. You can eat any cured meat, but it is better to choose less fatty varieties. It is important to steam or boil meat dishes.
- Spices. Chili curry seasoning works best in this case.
It is best to include as many fresh foods as possible in your diet. As a rule, when stored for a long time in the refrigerator or frozen, most products lose all the nutritious and beneficial components for the male body.
It has also been scientifically proven that cigarettes severely affect the development of the genitals in men, and not in a good way. That is why it is important to quit smoking during the period of formation of all sexual characteristics. And, of course, it is advisable not to resort to bad habits for the rest of your life.
What makes the penis grow?
Today you can only find a huge amount of advertising offering a variety of means to increase the length of the penis. Men are offered creams, ointments and miracle pills which, according to advertising, should make the penis grow almost instantly. However, in reality, these promises turn out to be just ploys to attract customers. In fact, there are only two options for penis enlargement: wearing an extender and surgical enlargement.
You should resort to these methods only when the penis stops growing, that is, when the transition age and puberty have long passed. When a man decides to undergo surgery to enlarge his penis, he is given the choice of whether or not to use special implants.
The fact is that the operation is possible when the internal part of the penis is surgically lengthened, due to which it increases by 3-5 centimeters. Basically, such changes are enough for men. In some cases, men consent to the use of implants; this happens especially when the initial length of the erect penis is less than 12 centimeters.

The second option on how to influence penis growth is to wear an extender. This device is certified and is used by a large number of men. It works by fixing the penis in a state where it is stretched. When wearing an extender, additional cells of cavernous spongy tissue appear in the penis, due to which an increase occurs, both in length and width.
The only disadvantage of such a device is that it is necessary to wear it for six months, in a shorter period of time it is not possible to achieve the desired effect. You need to wear the extender every day for 4-6 hours. This will help increase your penis size by 4 centimeters within six months. At the same time, the thickness of the genital organ will also increase significantly, since within six months there will be a significant increase in soft tissue.
Corpora cavernosa is a special spongy tissue that reacts very sensitively to changes in temperature, as well as the content of various substances in human blood. As a rule, the best penis enlargement methods specifically target the growth of corpus cavernosum cells. This is the easiest and safest way to increase penis size.
However, it is worth understanding that changes in penis size usually occur throughout the day. This is also due to the reaction of the corpus cavernosum cells to the environment. That is why, before taking any penis enlargement product, you need to consult a specialist to see if it is right for you and if it can help you.
