Erection in older children is a normal physiological condition. There should be no reason to panic. They chat with the boy, talk about all the intricacies of growing up. Mothers are not recommended to discuss intimate issues with their son. This leads to awkwardness on both sides and the development of psychological trauma in the child. Early signs of arousal are not associated with puberty, their appearance can be the norm or the result of developed pathologies.
The first signs of puberty
At what age the penis in boys increases, not all parents, especially mothers, know. Usually the process begins at the age of 11-12, but there are slight deviations.
The first thing a teenager notices is an enlarged penis.
Then join us:
- uncontrolled erections;
- nocturnal emissions;
- sexual attraction to girls;
- erotic dreams and other signs.
Adulthood lasts about 5 years. Testosterone, a male hormone, enters the bloodstream causing a change in a teenager's character and appearance. The change in behavior is not surprising. Hormonal changes often make a young man aggressive and short-tempered.
The final formation of the reproductive system occurs by age 18, although many boys have their first intercourse much earlier. On average, this occurs between the ages of 13 and 16.
Teenage erections lead to a desire to experience the first pleasure in life, hence most teenagers masturbate.
Parents, having caught a child in an obscene activity, are confused - they read morals, make fun of the child. You can't do this, you can ruin the relationship and cause serious damage to the man's psyche.
How does a young man change?
Moms and dads often wonder why a child's behavior changes, and often not for the better. The guy makes scandals, runs away from home, locks himself in.
Parents suspect their son of drug use, ties to a bad company. Regular questioning doesn't lead to good relationships and angers the growing child even more.
Growing up can be recognized by the growth of hair:
- on chest and face;
- armpits;
- in the genital area.
During the period of hormonal adjustment, the voice coarsens and the sex organ grows.
Of course, the boy won't show his mother's penis; grown men will be able to notice such changes.
During adolescence, sperm begins to accumulate in the testicles. It can already lead to conception. Before this opportunity arises, the boy must be aware of the intimate nuances and consequences of an unwanted pregnancy.
A grown man, preferably a father, should bring the young man up to date. If this is not possible, then the guy studies the information himself - in books, magazines, on the Internet.
You have to be careful with the latter. A growing guy will definitely want to watch an intimate video. The plots of the pictures are different. By focusing on a specific video, a man can radically change his views on adult life.
involuntary ejaculation
Erection in adolescents is often accompanied by erotic dreams. A sufficient amount of sperm accumulates in the testicles, it comes out. The first wet dream scares boys. They are afraid of criticism from their parents, they feel guilty about the soiled sheets.
Parents notice that the son himself removed the bedding and loaded it into the washing machine. Neither mother nor father should ask unnecessary questions and put the boy in an awkward position. If an intimate topic has not yet been opened up, it is time for the father to take a moment to explain the situation. It is important to know at what age boys get up so as not to miss important changes.
Young men often do not remember their dreams and do not understand why ejaculation took place. Some consider it pathological.
Nocturnal emissions in boys are a normal physiological state in which sexual tension is relieved. Excess accumulated sperm causes discomfort. While a man is not yet sexually active, the body empties the testicles itself.
This happens in adulthood, but unlike a teenager, an adult understands what is happening to them and is not embarrassed.
This is packed with:
- the emergence of a feeling of guilt in a teenager;
- mental discomfort;
- loss of prestige;
- hostile relationship.
The young man will certainly appreciate the disinterest in the occurrence of erections and involuntary ejaculation.
Tips for mothers and fathers
You have to accept growing up. This is a natural process that had to start. In this difficult period, one should be tactful and kind, because one wrong word can spoil the relationship with blood for a long time.
Mothers and fathers should not judge their son for:
- uncontrolled erection and ejaculation;
- viewing intimate magazines;
- mood swings.
If you find a teenager masturbating, you need to keep quiet and pretend nothing happened and give the kid a chance to clean up after themselves. You don't have to focus on yourself either. Doctors do not have a unified position on this topic. Some consider the emptying of the testicles normal from a physiological point of view, while others consider it immoral and unacceptable.
Parents will not be able to influence this process, if a teenager wants to do this they will always find a way to withdraw.
Moral ideas should be inculcated from an early age, while growing up this is perceived as an invasion of personal space.
erection at an early age
Signs of growing up in boys 6-8 years old baffle parents. They sometimes appear in children in their first year of life. Often you don't have to worry. Happens.
Harmless reasons are:
- tight underwear or an uncomfortable diaper;
- bladder overflow;
- mechanical action.
That:
- Congenital malformations of the urogenital system.
- Inflammatory processes in the intestines, bladder, testicles.
- worm infestation
- CNS disorders.
- circulatory problems.
- Infection of the foreskin and others.
The diagnosis is often made during the initial examination by the pediatrician. Less often it is required to do an ultrasound of the genitourinary system, pass smears, blood tests and so on.
Treatment is selected according to the results of the tests. Most often, the baby needs antibiotics, physical therapy and other things.
Acting alone is forbidden. Heat and cold compresses can seriously harm a child, and taking medication distorts clinical signs and prevents a quick diagnosis.
"Up to what age does the penis grow? "- this is a question that many parents ask themselves, worried about whether everything is fine with the health of their sons. Similar questions are asked by adult men who are dissatisfied with the size of their penis - they hope that growth will not stop until old age, the main thing is to follow certain rules.
What is the situation in reality: up to what age does the penis grow, why does the organ stop growing, what determines the size and how to enlarge the penis in an adult man? We now provide answers to these questions.
developmental stages in children
- Stage one, intrauterine. The penis and scrotum are formed in the fetus by the 16th week, at which point it is already possible to determine the sex of the unborn child.
- Stage two, prepubertal. Before the onset of puberty, the boy's genitals are underdeveloped (infantile, that is, children). In the infant, the penis measures only 1. 5-2. 5 cm, the glans is not visible, the foreskin is narrowed (child phimosis). The further growth of the penis is proportional to the growth of the boy.
- Stage three, puberty. With the onset of puberty (in different men in different ways - at the age of 12-15), the growth of the genital organs becomes more intense. There is an increase in the testicles, there is a growth in the penis. Every three years, the organ adds an average of 3-4 cm. Growth is accompanied by other signs of puberty - an Adam's apple is formed, a voice breaks, hair appears on the face and body.
In the first three years (up to approx. 15-18 years) an intensive enlargement of the penis becomes noticeable. In addition, the growth of the penis slows down (the maximum penis increases by 1 cm per year), and usually by the age of 19-21 the penis reaches its maximum thickness and length.
When a teenager is unwell
What if a young man who has started puberty does not have the expected growth of the penis? There is no need to panic, the fact is that everyone changes at different times. If the signs of maturation by the 15th -16thA year of life is missing and the genitals still remain in an infantile state, this is already a serious cause for concern - hormonal imbalances can be a possible reason for the lack of proper growth of the genitals penis.
Another question - what sizes are considered normal? During puberty, you should not panic about the size - growth can be slow at first, and then in a year the penis can stretch 5-6 cm at once. The following minimum length of the penis in children and adolescents applies:
- Age 11 years - 4-6 cm (with a boy's height of 142-148 cm);
- Age 14 years - 6-9 cm (with a boy height of 158-168 cm);
- Age 16 years - 7-9 cm (with a boy height of 165-172 cm);
- Age 20 years - 9. 5-12 cm (with a height of 174 cm).
An erect penis of a sexually mature man, the size of which reaches 9 cm or more, is considered normal from a medical point of view. At sizes of 3-9 cm there is something like a small penis. Less than 3 cm is an anatomical abnormality called a micropenis.
What affects the length
What determines the size of the male penis? First of all, genetics. The presence of various diseases during the development of the boy's body also has a great influence. If in childhood a man had complicated diseases of the reproductive or endocrine systems, then with a high probability this will negatively affect the genitals. For example, with a 60% testosterone deficiency, there is a decrease in the intensity of penis growth.
Another important factor in penis development is lifestyle. Diet, for example, can have an influence – a sufficient amount of building material is required for the normal structure of the body. Among the products for the body of a developing boy, nuts (walnuts, almonds, pistachios), herbs (parsley, dill, cumin), garlic, asparagus, pomegranate, figs, dairy products, beef are especially useful.
Parents should carefully ensure that their son does not develop bad habits: if a teenager starts drinking alcohol and smoking before the end of puberty, then a slowdown in the development of his body is guaranteed.
And what about adults?
The natural growth of the penis in men after puberty (18-21 years) does not occur. The only thing is that some have a delay in the development of the reproductive system, and maturation can end as early as 25 years old - such cases are rare, but they still happen. If there are no delays, then after the age of twenty it is not worth counting on the fact that the penis will grow a little more.
True, there are methods of artificial penis enlargement for men who cannot put up with the length of their dignity. In situations of complete desperation, it is necessary to resort to these measures, after all, each of these methods has its own contraindications and side effects.
Of the most common methods of penis enlargement in an adult man, it is worth noting:
- Hormonal drugs for penis growth (called growth hormones).
- The use of extenders (an orthopedic device used to stretch soft tissues). Gives an increase of 1-2 cm.
- Installation of the implant in the intracavernous space of the penis.
- Ligamentotomy is surgical penis enlargement by reducing the size of the perineum.
- increase vacuum. The penis is inserted into the cylinder, from which air is removed by suction at the other end.
- salt injections. The change in size is observed only for a couple of months, then the saline solution gradually dissolves
It is worth noting that the listed procedures are quite uncomfortable, since a man's intimate zone is very sensitive. All these methods are not recommended for cosmetic purposes, but when there are medical indications for penis enlargement (for example, with a micropenis, when normal sex life is not possible).
If you still want to increase masculinity, you can try special sprays and ointments, the composition of which has an irritating effect. Due to the increased blood flow and the resulting swelling, the penis appears a few centimeters larger. The effect of such funds is short-term - usually a few hours.
