I'm feeling really down about the size of my penis. It's 5 inches when erect, which I think is around 12 cm. I'm worried if this is normal or if there's something wrong. Can you tell me if my size is within the normal range?

Your penis size of 5 inches (12 cm) when erect is within the normal range. The average erect penis size globally is around 5-5.5 inches, and size does not usually affect sexual satisfaction or fertility. Try to focus on overall health and confidence rather than size.
