The micro penis is how it is defined medically; for us,Micropenis: A Condition That’s Curable Articles it is a penis that’s around 9 cm less than an average, normal penis. Usually, it comes under 3.5 inches. It is a condition brought up by various hormonal abnormalities in fetal stage, which also bring abnormal testicular development, Klinefelter’s syndrome and a lack of growth hormone.

Treatment varies according to age. If in infancy, testosterone treatment works great and as studied in 1999 (Bin-Abbas et al.), 3 testosterone (25-50 mg) injections, 10-days apart, followed by another 3 after a 4-week interval (total duration 3 months) in infants and children bore good results.

The determining factors – apart from age – are overall health condition and the infants/child’s medical history, which must also include his tolerance for specific medications. Circumcision is not a solution to this; it will only worsen the micro-penis condition.

For adults – even them who are just passed puberty - testosterone treatment is no good. A phalloplasty stays the only option for a sizeable increase and results are usually satisfactory. USA, Russia and UK lead in this department though the high risk factors remain. And those may affect the penis even further.

Another option for them (with at least 2.5 inches) is micropenis extenders. The only one with clinical back-up is SizeGenetics, so is 100 % safe unless you wage a war with it. However, it doesn’t yield results as fast as phalloplasty; on the contrary, 32 hours, 7 days a week, for over 40 weeks is a long wait. But nevertheless, the British newspaper Daily Mail as well as the Time magazine, both sing the praises for the traction methods and especially, of SizeGenetics. They focused on the multiple studies (and one particularly in the Journal of the British Association of Urological Surgeons) that show the effects of SizeGenetics; in most cases, it turned out that the device works better than surgeries. The studies concluded with an average increase of 1 inch (in flaccid state) and 1.7 inches in an erect state.

Size Genetics is also the most-comfortable-to-use traction systems and that’s due to the 16-way comfort setting for an extended period usage. Additionally, it offers free instructions on exercises and techniques on how to get the max of an enlarged penis. However, if nothing works, the device can be returned within 6 months and a full refund will be made by Permenda Ltd, the Nottingham, England based manufacturer. It doesn’t matter where the customer resides, for Permenda Ltd. operates and serves in all countries all over the globe.

In certain cases, sex change remains the only option. It’s called sex reassignment surgery and the The John Hopkins Hospital was famous for that. It kept dooming the hapless victims even further till in 1990 it was found out to give micro-penis children a worse adulthood. The details of a recent study on the subject can be found in: Congenital Micropenis: Long-Term Medical, Surgical, and Psychosexual Follow-Up of Individuals Raised Male or Female (Hormone Research 2001; v.56, pp.3-11).
