The penis is one of the most important reproductive organs for males, consisting mainly of two penile corpora cavernosa and one urethral corpora cavernosa. Although every healthy male has a penis, some men are not familiar with it. So, how to measure the length and circumference of the penis?
The penis, as one of the important male sexual organs, mainly plays a role in urination and ejaculation, while also performing important sexual functions. Measuring the length and circumference of the penis is mainly divided into two states: non erect and erect. Firstly, men need to stand in a natural upright position. When the penis is not erect, lift the penis at a 90 degree angle to the body and measure the length from the top of the penis head to the pubic symphysis above the penis with a ruler.
When the penis is erect, it is necessary to pinch the head of the penis with your hand and pull it forward forcefully until the penis cannot be extended, and then measure the length from the head of the penis to the pubic symphysis with a ruler. In general, the longest length of the penis is around 10.6cm and the shortest is 3.7cm, while the maximum circumference is 4.3cm and the minimum is 1.9cm. Compared with non erection, the length increases by 1-2 times during erection, and the circumference and volume also increase accordingly.
Due to the crucial role of the penis in men, it is important to observe its condition in daily life. If any abnormalities are found, seek medical attention immediately and receive appropriate treatment based on the examination results to avoid delaying the condition.
