A large-scale study assessing penis size in thousands of 17- to 19-year-old males found no difference in average penis size between 17-year-olds and 19-year-olds. From this, it can be concluded that penile growth is typically complete not later than age 17, and possibly earlier. [23] [unreliable medical source?]
Penile discharge is liquid from the urethra at the end of the penis that is not urine or semen. [2] The dripping of clear fluid (pre-ejaculate) when sexually excited is normal. [2] There may be pain or burning when passing urine, soreness inside the penis or feeling of wanting to pass urine frequently. [6]
A 2016 study of 248 Korean men identified the average flaccid penis length to be 7.39 cm (2.91 in) and the average erect penis length to be 13.53 cm (5.33 in). [19] A 1999 study of 130 Colombian men found the average erect penile length to be 13.90 cm (5.47 in). [41]
Generally, the size of an erect penis is fixed throughout post-pubescent life. Its size may be increased by surgery. [19] Though the size of a penis varies considerably between males, the average length of an erect human penis is 13.12 cm (5.17 inches), while the average circumference of an erect human penis is 11.66 cm (4.59 inches).

A penis (/ ˈ p iː n ɪ s /; pl.: penises or penes) is a male sex organ that is used to inseminate female or hermaphrodite animals during copulation. [1] [2] Such organs occur in both vertebrates and invertebrates, including humans, but not in all male animals. The term penis applies to many intromittent organs, but not to all.
Inside the penis is the urethra, which is used to ejaculate semen and to excrete urine. Both substances exit through the meatus. When a male becomes sexually aroused, erection occurs because sinuses within the erectile tissues of the penis (corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum) become filled with blood.
The body of the penis is suspended from the pubic symphysis. [7] It has two surfaces; the dorsal and the ventral or urethral.The penile raphe runs on its ventral surface.. The body is surrounded by a bi-layered model of tunica albuginea in which a distal ligament buttresses the glans penis and plays an integral role to the penile fibroskeleton, and the structure is called "os analog", a term ...
Penile cancer is due to trapped fluids under the foreskin of the penis. Uncircumcised individuals have a higher risk of penile cancer. Symptoms that may indicate penile cancer during male examination include lumps on the penis, swelling, and skin around the penis becoming thicker. Penile cancer and its grade is diagnosed by a biopsy to confirm ...
