What Causes Retarded Development Of The Penis And Testis In A Teenager?

I m a 27 year old well built man but find that my penis and testes haven t really developed since a teenager. My penis is around 1.5 inches soft and very thin and my balls are always pulled tight making it look child like, I was interested if there were some reasons for it and is it common?

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

Size of the unerected penis is same as your described. But your testicles should be hanging in order to produce good sperms.

Hanging testicles remains away from the body and so there temperature is below the body temperature. This is essential for production of sperms.

But in my advice you should get yourself semen analysis done. If the count, motility, morphology etc are normal there is no need to worry and you can become father..

If reports are abnormal than you should examine yourself by nearby doctors, there is surgery available for correction of undescended testis.

This will empower further production of the sperms in you.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
