At what age does penile growth reach its maximum? This is a very common question among teenagers, however, it is an important issue for adult men as well, because they can take good information to younger people.
Read this text to know how penile growth works and other information about the size of the sexual organ.
Penile growth: age that reaches maximum size
The penis performs an essential function for the urinary and sexual system of men. From the beginning of the sexual maturation process, penis size can be very important because, historically, size has always been associated with masculinity and virility.
Therefore, many teenagers want to know if they have reached the maximum dimensions of their sexual organ and until when this development takes place.
There is a lot of information on the internet pointing out that the maximum penis growth is around 18, 19 or 20 years old. This is data for which it is not possible to determine a fixed date, because it depends on the stage of sexual maturation of each organism, which is very individualized.
In this aspect, only after a consultation with a urologist and clinical evaluation is it possible to answer if the adolescent will still have penile growth or if the development has already stopped, reaching the maximum point.
Tanner scale defines penile growth
The growth of Organs genital organs of children, adolescents and adults is determined by the Tanner scale (created by British pediatrician James Tanner), which defines physical measurements based on primary and secondary characteristics, which accounts for the development of genitalia (penis, testes and glans) and pubic hair.
The scale goes from stage I to V, but due to the natural variation of the organism, each teenager can go through the stages at different ages.
For example, an 11-year-old boy may be in the same phase of natural penile growth as a 15,5-year-old. It all depends on what age the boy entered puberty and growth rates.
This means that a teenager who has reached stage V around the age of 13, perhaps, already has the maximum size of the penis, while others finish their growth stage at 17 or 18 years old.

How to stimulate penile growth?
Some diseases can hinder penile growth, so if the teenager has doubts about their pubertal development, they should talk to their parents or guardians to go to a doctor.
The professional will evaluate family history, prematurity, drug exposure and even endocrine diseases. But, contrary to what is thought that phimosis hinders penile growth, this is not a factor that prevents the development of the organ.
According to the stage, if the growth of the penis is being stunted in adolescence, it is possible to come up with some approaches to stimulate development, such as a replacement of testosterone, which is the main male sex hormone and is related to male sexual characteristics.
Adult penis enlargement
In adulthood, when there has been a pubertal delay and penile growth impairment, men can try some approaches to gain a penis enlargement discreet, either temporarily or permanently.
But it is valid to say that it is useless to make use of products for penis growth advertised on the internet, because they do not work. Gels that stimulate growth are nothing more than a vasodilating substance that only causes the temporary boosting effect.
more natural techniques
There are some non-invasive therapies such as vacuum therapy, using penis pump e penis extender, which produces a small increase. This technique also serves as penile rehabilitation and does not promote risks, as long as the use is guided by the doctor.
With the use of these techniques, when the patient suffers from penile atrophy, due to lack of sexual use of the organ, for example, the penis will increase by a maximum of 2 cm on average.
Another technique is the penis enlargement exercises known as Jelqing. It consists of stretching the coronal sulcus of the penis to various sides, including rotational and milking movements.
In fact, the tunica albuginea of the penis is made up of 5% elastin, however, there is no data to suggest that these exercises promote real penis enlargement. In addition, care must be taken with movements so as not to injure the penis.
Penis enlargement surgery
In some cases, the patient may want to try a penile surgery for penis enlargement, one of these alternatives is the section of the suspensory ligament, which is a structure that is located at the root of the penis, glued to the pubis.
This ligament serves to maintain the pubic-penile angle upward, stabilize the sexual organ, and protect the vascular-nervous bundle of the penis.
When cutting this suspensory ligament, there is an appearance of penis enlargement, because a part of the penis that was inside is exposed. The increase can be 1 to 3 centimeters with the use of a penile extender. However, this technique can cause complications and the degree of satisfaction is not the best.

Other techniques
Other attempts at penile enlargement are dermolipectomy, pubic liposuction or even the Egydio technique, indicated for Peyronie's disease.
In addition to these options, another technique that has been used experimentally is the use of stem cells, based on cell regeneration therapy.
In this cell therapy, stem cells can be taken from a person's fats or blood. This technique also requires the use of other traction techniques to produce better results in penile dimensions.
In addition, there are also other approaches to increasing the caliber with the use of botox and hyaluronic acid, fat grafting and collagen biostimulators.
Conclusion
It is worth remembering that each of these techniques for penile growth requires talking to a professional who has expertise. and know how to present the pros and cons of each technique, in order to give a very realistic view of the risks and minimize unrealistic expectations about the results.
When the patient receives the proper guidance, it is up to him to decide what he wants to try to promote penile enlargement.
