I have a tight foreskin and I'm worried it might cause problems with sex later. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?

I'm 24 and really concerned about my penis size, as it seems unusually small. When it's not erect, it's less than 2 inches. I'm wondering if there's a way to increase its size? Also, could you tell me what's considered a normal size for a penis both in an erect and non-erect state? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

The average size of a flaccid penis is typically around 3.5 inches to 3.9 inches, while the average size of an erect penis is around 5.1 to 5.7 inches. It's important to note that penis size can vary and is not necessarily an indicator of sexual function or satisfaction. There are some medications available that may help with erectile dysfunction and potentially improve blood flow to the penis, leading to firmer erections.
