A Study of Penile Dimensions in Normal Young Adult Saudi Men
Abstract
The mean flaccid and erect penile length were found to be 9.3±1.3 cm and 13.7±1.6 cm respectively, whereas mean flaccid and erect penile circumferences were measured as 8.3±1.2 cm and 12.6±1.5 cm respectively. Fat pad depth in both the states was found to be 1.9±0.5 cm. The answer distribution on penile size was 1 (0.5%) “Very small”, 28 (14.0%) “small”, 162 (81.0 %) “normal”, 8 (4.0 %) “large” and 1 (0.5 %) “very large”.
Significant differences in the mean penile length and circumference of Saudi men compared to the data reported from other countries were also observed. We suggest gaining more insight into the physiological aspects of penile dimensions to provide data that could be clinically applicable by the practicing andrologists/urologists for the men seeking an opinion on penile lengthening procedures which display a wide range of normal variability along the general population.
