This study measured penile dimensions in Indian males, finding average flaccid length of 8.21 cm and erect length of 13.01 cm. These findings offer crucial data for counseling men concerned about penis size.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Human Anatomy

Background:

  • Concerns regarding normal penis size are prevalent among men.
  • Accurate normative data is essential for clinical counseling and addressing patient anxieties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the average penile length (flaccid, stretched, erect) and circumference in Indian males.
  • To compare these measurements with data from other international populations.
  • To explore correlations between penile dimensions and anthropometric parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Measurements of penile length (flaccid, stretched, erect) and circumference were conducted on 301 healthy Indian men.
  • Erect penile dimensions were assessed in 93 participants.
  • Statistical analysis was performed to compare data and identify correlations.

Main Results:

  • The mean flaccid penile length was 8.21 cm, mean stretched length was 10.88 cm, and mean circumference was 9.14 cm.
  • The mean erect penile length was 13.01 cm, with a mean erect circumference of 11.46 cm.
  • Significant differences were observed when comparing Indian penile dimensions to international data.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides normative penile size data for Indian males.
  • Penile dimensions show correlation with anthropometric parameters.
  • Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended to establish generalizable normative data.
