What is considered a large glans penis?

During my last physical exam the doctor mentioned I had a large glans penis. I had this since I was a teenager, how do you determine what is a large glands?

It is a mushroom head. Plus, I am uncut and have one as well. I was fortunate to have my father explain to me at age 12-13 the importance of cleaning the head during a shower on a daily basis. I have never had any problems due to cleanliness.

Most likely the doctor to prevent an awkward silence during the examination just tried to continue talking and since the doctor didnt see anything disturbing just tried to describe what was seen. And forgot to use layman terms. If you dont have any issues with your penis, you shouldnt have any concerns about the size of your glans. And one more tip: next time if you have any questions about what is being said by the doctor, ask right away! They tend to revert to latin when they are concentrating on something and dont even notice it, since it makes perfect sense for them.

I guess there are like 4 types of penises.  Large glans penis puts you in the category of large head, thinner shaft. No idea really sure why your doctor has noted that but now you know.

I do not know but I assume it just means that the head of the penis is larger than the shaft. “A mushroom head” it’s just a variation of normal and nothing to worry about, especially if it’s always been that way.

My head is way larger than my shaft, just so you know. Oh and women seem to like it so no concerns there.

Thanks for your comments Dadz1990. The head of my penis is much larger than the shaft and it looks like a big mushroom head as you said.
