Erection in older children is a normal physiological condition. There should be no reason to panic. They talk to the boy, talking about all the intricacies of growing up. Mothers are not recommended to discuss intimate topics with their son. This leads to discomfort on both sides and the development of psychological trauma in the child. Early signs of awakening are not related to puberty, their appearance may be the norm or the result of developed pathologies.
The first signs of puberty
At what age the penis grows in boys, not all parents, especially mothers, know. Normally, the process starts at the age of 11-12 years, but there are small deviations.
The first thing a teenager notices is an enlarged penis.
Then join:
- uncontrolled erections;
- night emissions;
- sexual attraction to girls;
- erotic dreams and other signs.
Adult age lasts about 5 years. Testosterone, a male hormone, enters the bloodstream, leading to a change in a teenager's character and appearance. The change in behavior is not surprising. Hormonal changes often make a young person aggressive and temperamental.
The final formation of the reproductive system occurs at the age of 18, although many boys have their first sexual intercourse much earlier. On average, this happens at the age of 13-16.
Teenage erections lead to the desire to experience the first pleasure in life, so most teens masturbate.
After catching a child in a shameful activity, the parents are confused - they read the morals, make fun of the child. You can not do this, you can ruin the relationship and cause serious damage to the boy's psyche.
How does a young person change?
Mothers and fathers often wonder why a child's behavior is changing, and often not for the better. The boy makes scandals, runs away from home, shuts himself up.
Parents suspect their son uses drugs, links to a bad company. Regular interrogation does not lead to good relationships and angers the growing child even more.
You can distinguish growth from hair growth:
- on chest and face;
- armpits;
- in the genital area.
During the period of hormonal regulation, the voice thickens and the sexual organ grows.
Of course, the boy will not show his mother's penis; adult males will be able to notice such changes.
In the process of growth, sperm begins to accumulate in the testicles. It can already lead to conception. Before this opportunity arises, the boy should be aware of the intimate nuances and consequences of an unwanted pregnancy.
An adult man, preferably a father, should update the young man. If this is not possible, the boy studies the information himself - in books, magazines, the Internet.
With the latter you have to be careful. A growing boy will definitely want to watch an intimate video. Photo plots are different. By focusing on a particular video, a boy can radically change his views on adult life.
involuntary ejaculation
Erection in adolescents is often associated with erotic dreams. A sufficient amount of sperm accumulates in the testicles, it comes out. The first wet dream scares the boys. They are afraid of their parents' criticism, they feel guilty for the dirty sheet.
The parents notice that the boy himself removed the bed and loaded it in the washing machine. Neither the mother nor the father should ask unnecessary questions, putting the son in a difficult position. If an intimate topic has not yet been opened, 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 people often do not remember their dreams and do not understand why ejaculation occurred. Some consider it pathological.
Night emissions in boys are a normal physiological state in which sexual tension is relieved. Excess accumulated semen leads to 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 does not feel embarrassed.
This is filled with:
- the appearance of guilt in a teenager;
- psychological discomfort;
- loss of prestige;
- hostile relations.
The young man will surely appreciate the lack of interest in the appearance of erections and involuntary ejaculation.
Tips for moms and dads
You have to agree with the fact of growth. This is a natural process that had to start. In this difficult period one should be tactful and friendly, because one wrong word can ruin the relationship with blood for a long time.
Mothers and fathers should not punish their son for:
- uncontrolled erection and ejaculation;
- viewing intimate magazines;
- mood swings.
When finding a masturbating teen, you should keep quiet and pretend that nothing happened, giving the child the opportunity to clean up after himself. You also do not need to focus on yourself. Doctors do not have a single point of view on this issue. Some consider testicular emptying to be normal from a physiological point of view, others say it is immoral and unacceptable.
Parents will not be able to influence this process, if a teenager wants to do so, he will always find an opportunity to retire.
Concepts of morality must be ingrained in early childhood; during the growth period, this will be perceived as an invasion of personal space.
Erection at an early age
Signs of growth in boys up to 6-8 years old confuse parents. Sometimes they appear in children of the first year of life. Often you do not have to worry. This happens.
Harmless reasons include:
- tight underwear or an uncomfortable diaper;
- bladder overflow;
- mechanical impact.
This is:
- Congenital malformations of the genitourinary system.
- Inflammatory processes in the intestines, bladder, testicles.
- Worm infections.
- CNS disorders.
- Problems with blood circulation.
- Infection of the foreskin and others.
Often the diagnosis is made during the initial pediatric examination. Rarely, a genitourinary system ultrasound, staining, blood tests, etc. are required.
Treatment is selected according to test results. Most often, the baby needs antibiotics, physiotherapy and other things.
Acting alone is forbidden. Heat and cold compresses can seriously harm a child and taking medication will distort the clinical signs and prevent a quick diagnosis.
"At what age does the penis grow? " - this question is asked by many parents, worried if everything is fine with the health of their sons. Similar questions arise in adult men who are unhappy with the size of their penis - they hope the growth does not stop until old age, the main thing is to follow a few rules.
How 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 will now answer these questions.
Stages of development in children
- The first stage, intrauterine. The penis and scrotum form in the fetus by the 16th week, by which time it is already possible to determine the sex of the unborn baby.
- The second stage, prepubertal. Before the onset of puberty, the boy's genitals are underdeveloped (infantile, ie children). In a baby, the penis is only 1, 5-2, 5 cm, the head of the penis is not visible, the foreskin is narrowed (phimosis of children). The further growth of the penis is proportional to the growth of the boy.
- The third stage, puberty. With the onset of puberty (for different men it occurs in different ways - at the age of 12-15 years), the growth of the genitals becomes more intense. There is an enlargement of the testicles, there is an enlargement of the penis. Every three years an average of 3-4 cm is added to the body. The growth is accompanied by other signs of puberty - an Adam's apple is formed, the voice is broken, facial and body hairs appear.
Intense penis enlargement is evident in the first three years (up to about 15-18 years). Further, penis growth slows down (maximum penis grows by 1 cm per year), and, as a rule, at the age of 19-21 the penis reaches maximum thickness and length.
If a teenager is not well
What if a young man who has started puberty does not have the expected penis enlargement? No need to panic, the fact is that everyone changes at different times. If the symptoms of puberty do not appear until the age of 15-16 and the genitals are still in infancy, then this is already a serious cause for concern - hormonal disorders may be a possible reason for the lack of proper penis growth.
Another question - which sizes are considered normal? In adolescence, you should not panic about size - growth can be slow at first, and then in a year the penis can stretch 5-6 cm right away. The following is considered the minimum penis length in children and adolescents:
- age 11 years - 4-6 cm (with the height of a boy 142-148 cm);
- age 14 years - 6–9 cm (with a height of a boy 158–168 cm);
- age 16 - 7–9 cm (with a height of a boy 165–172 cm);
- age 20 years - 9, 5-12 cm (height 174 cm).
The erect penis of a sexually mature man whose size reaches 9 cm or more is considered medically normal. Size 3-9 cm, there is such a thing as a small penis. Less than 3 cm is an anatomical abnormality called micropenis.
What affects the length
What determines the size of a man's 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 system or endocrine, then with a high probability it will negatively affect the genitals. Thus, 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. For example, food can affect - for normal body building, a sufficient amount of building material is needed. Among the products for the body of a developing boy are especially useful nuts (nuts, almonds, pistachios), herbs (parsley, fennel, cumin), garlic, asparagus, pomegranate, figs, dairy products, beef.
Parents should carefully monitor 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?
Natural penis growth 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 the age of 25 - such cases are rare but still occur. 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 artificial methods of penis enlargement for men that can not agree with the length of their dignity. It is necessary to address these measures in situations of complete despair, after all, each of these methods has its own contraindications and side effects.
Among the most common methods for penis enlargement in an adult male, it is worth mentioning:
- Hormonal drugs for penis enlargement (so-called growth hormones).
- Use of extenders (an orthopedic tool for soft tissue stretching). Gives an increase of 1-2 cm.
- Implant installation in the intracavernous space of the penis.
- Ligamentotomy is a surgical enlargement of the penis by reducing the perineum.
- vacuum increase. The penis is inserted into the cylinder, from which air is removed from the other end by means of a suction.
- Salt injections. The change in size is observed only for a few months, then the saline solution is gradually resolved
It is worth noting that the procedures listed are quite uncomfortable, as a man's intimate area is very sensitive. All of these methods are recommended not for cosmetic purposes, but when there are medical indications for penis enlargement (for example, in the case of a micropenis, when a normal sex life is not possible).
If you still want to increase manhood, then you can try special sprays and ointments, the composition of which produces an irritating effect. As a result of the increased blood flow and swelling that results, the penis visually appears to be several centimeters larger. The effect obtained from such funds is short-lived - usually several hours.
