The findings of the study were published in a July 2008 press release issued by the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology and involved data collected from a group of 99 men attending a fertility clinic.

The Micro Penis Condition

Posted by PRS on February 2nd, 2007

While many men are not satisfied with the size of their penis and think it's too small, there is a certain percentage of the male population that truly suffers from an abnormally small penis. According to medical definition, a "micropenis" is an unusually small penis, featuring a flaccid length of less than 2 centimeters for newborn male children and less than 4 centimeters for male adults. This condition is diagnosed shortly after birth, when the perineum, scrotum and penis are fully formed, and occurs in about 0.6% of the male population.

Primarily secreted in the testes and secondarily by the adrenal glands, testosterone controls the development of the male sex organs and is responsible for the emergence of secondary sex characteristics including body and facial hair, deepening of the voice, broadening of shoulders and chest, thickening of bones and increase of muscle mass. Because this hormone is closely linked to the well-being of males, any dip in testosterone levels can bring about massive changes to an individual.
