Would you please share the measurements of your erect penis. To measure properly, press a measureing tape along the top of the erect penis into the pelvis bone and read the measurement at the tip of the penis.  Many men are certain they are underdeveloped when in fact, they are not.

Hi - I don't know if you read through this whole thread, but this member already explained why he thinks he's underdeveloped, and mentioned that he feels a lot of shame about this. It's not necessary to ask him to measure his erect penis and then share those measurements on a public site.

If he is actually not underdeveloped, his doctor will assure him of that. If he is underdeveloped, he can work with his doctor to help resolve that. It's important that he see his doctor, because if he is underdeveloped, there are a number of different conditions that cause that. It's not up to us to determine that.



Hi - It isn't appropriate to ask members to measure their genitals and post the information.  Please also note the date of this thread and the fact that the OP seems to have reached closure.

How old are you and what makes you think you are underdeveloped?

Have you seen a doctor about it?

Good evening. Yes, I am very sure that it is not developed because you can see this in both length and thickness. I did not go to the doctor for reasons of shame, this problem also had a rather serious psychological impact (depression, anxiety). I want to know if this problem can be solved somehow.

I forgot to mention that I am 23 years old and both my hands and fingers are short.
This problem, if you are underdeveloped, can't be solved on your own. A doctor needs to determine the cause of it, and then treat that cause. It could be a number of different hormonal issues, developmental causes, etc.

Please do not feel shame. This is a medical problem like any other medical problem - if your leg was underdeveloped, you'd see a doctor, right?

I don't know what the outcome will be, since I don't know what's causing it, but what if it's as simple as taking some hormones? It may not be, but don't wait any longer to find out.
Thank you very much for this message, it really helped me morally.
You're welcome. Please let us know what happens. :)
