I've been wondering about my penis size. It's about 13.5 cm and I'm not sure if that's considered normal or on the smaller side. Is there anything I can do to make it bigger? I'm really curious to know if enlargement is possible.

A penis size of 13.5 cm (about 5.3 inches) is within the average range for adult men. There are no medically proven methods to significantly enlarge the penis. If you have concerns, it's best to discuss them with a healthcare professional to understand what's normal and to address any underlying issues.
