Adolescence is a time for growth spurts and other changes spurred by the onset of puberty . It can be a time of great uncertainty, as some teens will inevitably fall behind others in their development. 1
Among the key sexual maturation changes, the testicles get larger and the scrotum begins to thin and redden. In tandem with these changes is the growth of the penis which can develop at different rates for different people. 2
As sexual awareness increases, concerns about penis size may deepen, particularly if all other signs of puberty (including height, body hair, and changes in voice ) are robust. Knowing what to expect—and what an "average" penis size really means—can help alleviate a lot of the stress. 1
The good news is that penis size is rarely a sign of a medical problem. 3 With that being said, there are few answers about "normal" penis size that will satisfy an emotionally impatient teen.
Between the ages of 10 and 14, when most of the growth spurts occur, teens will often feel the need to "size up" with their peers, believing themselves to fall short if they are anything less than average. Even in kids as young as 11, the visible changes seen in others can quickly turn from a source of curiosity to one of anxiety. 1
To help dispel these fears, parents need to understand and share the facts about normal penis development with their children if and when it becomes an issue.
Generally speaking, genitals develop in somewhat predictable stages. According to experts at Stanford Children's Health, the stages of sexual maturation in people with penises break down roughly as follows: 2
What is important to note is that, unlike wet dreams and acne, there is no specific age by which the genitals will start to grow. It can be difficult to know exactly when puberty will start and how it will develop. 4
For some, it may appear as an almost single event. In others, it may develop in fits and starts right through early high school. While siblings often follow similar growth patterns, there can even be variations among them that defy expectations. 1
Even if a penis appears small by the age of 14, there is still an opportunity for growth. With that being said, many parents will want to schedule an appointment with the family doctor if their child's penis hasn't started to grow after the appearance of body and facial hair. 3 Generally speaking, by the age of 18 to 19, little additional growth can be expected. 4
The average penis length by age, outlined in Adolescent and Young Adult Health Care: A Practical Guide by Lawrence Neinstein, MD, should only serve as a guideline for genital development. 5
It should not be used to check if a teen is developing "on schedule" (an action that may only underscore insecurity). Rather, it should be used as a reference if your child fears they are falling behind in relation to all other markers for puberty.
The approximate ranges of a non-erect penis by age are as follows: 5
Because there may be errors in how the penis is measured, it is usually best to have the measurement done by a pediatrician or, better yet, an adolescent health specialist. 6
The diagnosis of an abnormally small penis would seem to be a pretty straightforward process, but it is actually not. While a physical exam may establish that a penis is below what might be expected for a child's age, it cannot accurately predict how much growth may still occur.
However, regardless of age at diagnosis, micropenis is defined as a penis 2.5 deviations smaller than the mean average for the age. 7
Early diagnosis, in infancy or early childhood, is important for effective treatment. If hormone deficiency is the underlying cause, for example, hormone supplementation can be effective at encouraging catch-up growth. 8
Keep in mind that there may be factors other than growth that explain a penis' abnormally short appearance. For example, excessive pelvic fat can obscure an otherwise normal-sized penis. The same may occur if a child has a very large frame, creating the impression that the penis is smaller than it is. 8
Less commonly, there are congenital conditions that limit how much of the penis is externally seen. Examples include penoscrotal webbing (in which the scrotum extends up the underside of the penis, creating an indistinct junction between the two) and phimosis (in which the foreskin is unable to retract). 9
Small penis size can sometimes occur as a result of a genetic disorder (such as Klinefelter's syndrome) which impedes the production of testosterone during fetal development. 8
Generally speaking, after the age of 8 there is little a doctor can do to promote penis growth in boys. For boys 8 and under, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be used; research suggests that it is most effective in infancy and early childhood. 8 Delivered in three intramuscular injections over 12 weeks, TRT may increase the child's penis size to the reference range for their age. 6
For older boys, surgery may be explored to treat concealed penis abnormalities. The approach can vary by case, but may include circumcision or more extensive reconstructive procedures in which the skin of the penis is "degloved" and repositioned with sutures and skin grafts. 8
Penis enlargement surgery (phalloplasty) is not considered a reasonable option until later in life. The risk of complications may outweigh the perceived benefits, and the results tend to be variable at best. 8
While concerns about penis size may be understandable in teens going through puberty, it is unhelpful for those emotions to be echoed or reinforced by parents or family members. Ultimately, penis size should never be considered a measurement of one's masculinity or virility. These cultural attitudes only serve to undermine teens' confidence at a time when they are only just starting to explore who they are.
If your child is concerned about their penis size, take the time to discuss their feelings without diminishing them. In some cases, penis size may only be a symptom of a larger problem. In some cases, there may have been teasing at school or an underlying lack of confidence for which penis size is emblematic.
Whether the issue is physical or psychological, it often helps to work with a medical professional trained in adolescent health. By allowing an objective third party into the conversation, you can avoid any suggestion that there is a "problem" that needs resolving. Acknowledge your child's feelings and reassure them of their self-worth, but avoid false assurances and platitudes that may only add to their anxiety.

We thought he was growing faster than other children. But our worries increased when we noticed his pubic hair.
It's very unfortunate that this has happened to him at such a young age. He could not understand what was happening, and consequently he turned violent and aggressive.

A boy of two is being treated for fully developed genitals, pubic hair and painful erections due to an extreme case of 'precocious puberty'.
Arsh Akhtar, from Delhi, northern India, suffers from the rare condition which means he reached sexual maturity at the age of just 18 months.
Although he began showing signs of early puberty when he was just six months old, his father Waseem Akhtar, 32, and mother Shabnam Parveen, 23, ignored the symptoms assuming he was just a big boy.
'He was growing unnaturally,' his mother Shabnam told MailOnline.
Suffering: At the age of 18 months, Arsh was suffering from mood swings and painful erections and his grandmother suggested to his parents that they take him to see a doctor
Unusual: The parents of toddler Arsh Akhtar, from Delhi, were stunned when he started showing signs of puberty - growing facial and body hair and experiencing 'sexual urges' - aged just 18 months. He is pictured here, with his father Waseem, at the age of just two
Growing: As first-time parents, Waseem and his wife Shabnam didn't realise there was anything wrong with their son and assumed he was just growing very fast. He is pictured (left and right) at four months old
'At the age of four months old he looked like a child aged one and by the time he turned one he looked like his three-year-old cousin.
'We thought he was growing faster than other children. But our worries increased when we noticed his pubic hair and genitals growing unnaturally after around 18 months.
'Arsh is our first child so we didn't have a lot of knowledge but my mother-in-law, who has raised several children, suggested we consult a doctor.'
By the time his parents took him to a doctor, Arsh had already started getting facial and body hair, showing violent and aggressive behaviour, was experiencing 'sexual urges' and was suffering from painful erections.
Waseem, an internet café owner who earns app£100 a month, said he approached several government hospitals for a consultation but no one could help.
Eventually they made an appointment with the private Max Hospitals, in Delhi, even though the fees were outside their budget.
He even applied for an insurance policy to get his son treated but it was rejected.
'We had no option, I had to find the money to get him treated at a private hospital,' he said.
'My son's condition was getting serious and I had to show him to a good doctor. The government hospitals did not entertain our case. I had no choice but dig into my family's savings.'
Rare: He was diagnosed by specialists at Max Hospital in Delhi as having 'precocious puberty', a condition that affects only one in every 100,000 people. Pictured, Arsh at six months old (left) and four months old (right)
Cure: Arsh's doctor said it was lucky his parents brought him to the hospital when they did, as if he had not been treated before the age of five his condition may have stunted his growth at around 3ft tall
Dr Vaishakhi Rustagi, 35, a paediatric endocrinologist and hormone specialist at Max Hospital, said: 'He had extremely high testosterone levels when he visited me six months ago. They were as high as a 25-year-old man.
'It's very unfortunate that this has happened to him at such a young age. He could not understand what was happening, and consequently he turned violent and aggressive.'
After conducting the necessary tests, Dr Rustagi started his treatment last November, with hormonal blocking agents in the form injections.
Arsh was initially given the injections monthly, but is now down to once every three months.
'We thought this condition could be a result of a tumour but his tests for that were negative,' continued Dr Rustagi.
'So this is an extremely rare case and the child has suffered a hormonal disorder without any particular reason.
'I have personally not seen any case like this before. The brain activities in these cases start almost a decade earlier than usual and it activates the master gland of our body that controls our organs.
'It calls for immediate treatment. If it's not treated quickly it leads to other issues like painful erections, trauma for the child and family, then rejection by peers, behavioral changes and psychological issues.'
The doctor added that if the child had not been treated before the age of five, his condition may have stunted his growth and he may have never grown to more than 3ft tall.
Arsh has shown a speedy recovery over the last six months and his genitals have now shrunk in size.
Dr Rustagi added that his erection issues have also been resolved but the doctors have suggested his treatment continue until he reaches at least 11 years old.
'He is still on hormone therapy. We can only control his testosterone and the moment we stop the problem will return,' added Dr Rustagi.
'So ideally we need to continue with his treatment until he reaches the real age of puberty.'
The doctor said the condition is extremely rare, with only one person in 100,000 affected - however this increases to two people in 100,000 in boys aged eight to 10.
Cure: Thanks to hormone injections, Arsh (left and right) has already shown a speedy recovery over the past six months, and his genitals have shrunk in size
Treatment: Arsh's doctor Vaishakhi Rustagi says he will need to continue his treatment until the age of at least 11, when he 'reaches the real age of puberty'
Waseem is still worried about the costs of his son's treatment as his monthly income does not even cover the cost of one injection.
He said: 'I have been using my savings for his treatment. One injection costs me Rs 11,000 (£110), which is actually more than I earn in a month.
'I am worried for his future as I am not sure if I'll be able to afford his treatment for a long period of time. I can only hope his health improves and he remains better.'
