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.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and mild prickly pain around my left testicle. It's been going on for about a day, and I can't figure out what's happening. It feels a bit awkward to talk about this in person. Can you help me understand what's going on?

its better to consult for physical examination

I've noticed my penis seems to be getting really small and even shrinking up to my lower abdomen when I go to urinate, particularly this winter. Im 36 and have never experienced this before. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a medical issue?

Cold Weather: Exposure to cold temperatures can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to a temporary decrease in penis size. This is a common phenomenon, especially during winter months.

I've been diagnosed with bilateral grade 1 varicocele and the meds aren't helping with the pain in my left testicle especially when lying down. When should I consider varicocelectomy and what's the best type of surgery for this condition?

If pain persists despite medication and is specifically exacerbated when lying down, consider varicocelectomy, especially if it's affecting fertility or quality of life. Microscopic or laparoscopic varicocelectomy are the preferred surgical options, offering potential benefits like less pain, faster recovery, and improved fertility
