Small Penis Syndrome

What Is Small Penis Syndrome?

Small penis syndrome (SPS) is not having a tiny dick; it’s a psychological condition that describes men who think or believe that their member is inadequate. From a physiological point of view, you may have a perfectly normal sized penis, which is about 3.6 inches long when flaccid and 5.2 inches erect. A man with small penis syndrome typically suffers from:

• Shame
• Anxiety
• Distorted view of actual penis size

This can cause problems with your sex life because you feel inferior. You may even have trouble with having erections or keeping an erection. Research shows that 85 percent of women are happy with their lover’s penis size, but only 55 percent of men are comfortable with their dicks. If you just think that your dick is small, your doctor will talk to you about your feelings to be sure you understand the implications of your decision before doing any type of surgery or procedures.

Once you’ve been cleared through counselling or following an in-depth interview with your plastic surgeon, experienced penis enlargement doctors at Penile Enhancement Center of New York have a wide range of options both surgical and non-surgical to provide small penis syndrome treatment in NYC and give you the girth and length that you believe you need or want.

What’s the Difference Between Small Penis Syndrome and Micropenis?

SPS is when you think your manhood is small. A micropenis is when it actually is small, defined as about 2.75 inches when stretched flaccid. Some people refer to small penis syndrome as penile dysmorphic disorder (PDD), but there’s no such diagnosis recognized at this time.

Most doctors think of it as a form of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) when you’re anxious about some part or parts of your body. A micropenis, on the other hand, is a medical condition that can be caused by:

• Mother coming in contact with pesticides or other toxins
• Insufficient testosterone
• Genetic anomalies

A micropenis is usually diagnosed early in life, as the micropenis is noticeably smaller, even at birth. Occasionally, parents start treatments at an early age so as not to subject their son to open ridicule later in life in the locker room. Another medical condition that causes a small penile profile is a hidden or buried penis, which also may require surgery to fix. A micropenis is treatable in a variety of ways. Small penis syndrome treatment in NYC is a bit more complicated.

What Causes Small Penis Syndrome?

A variety of internal and external complications cause SPS. While it’s a psychological problem, outside factors such as social or cultural expectations can have a moderate effect on those men with SPS. More than likely, stress and anxiety have already been perceived. Other circumstances that may contribute to SPS include:

• Media promotions, especially pornography that can give distorted views of male genitalia
• Peer comparison, when comments from friends or lovers can have a lasting psychological impact
• Cultural influences, as from the time you’re a little boy, you may have been bombarded with sexual myths, such as your masculinity is based on the size of your junk

Low self-esteem can fuel the thoughts of inadequacy. This can become an even bigger problem if you’re measuring your penis frequently. When it becomes obsessive, it’s time for help. Then once you’ve reconciled that many of your fears are inaccurate, you’ll be healthier to make an appropriate choice of surgical or non-surgical penile enlargement if that’s still a goal.

Is Small Penis Syndrome Harmful?

In some cases, SPS can be harmful if you’re not willing to talk about the origin and consequences of your thinking. You may avoid therapy because society still regards it as a negative proposition. Without proper guidance from the best plastic surgeons like Dr. David Shokrian and Dr. Mohamed Elfar at Penile Enhancement Center of New York, you may be tempted to undergo surgery that’s:

• Not based on science
• Possibly harmful rather than helpful
• Unneeded
• Unfulfilling
• Creating even more psychological issues

Some guys are willing to have illegal penis injections, which is extremely dangerous. It’s essential that men with SPS get professional mental health. Only then can you discuss the possibility of penis enlargement services with your doctor. At that point, you may even be more open to exploring the many other ways to enhance your dick size with non-surgical and regenerative penis enlargement options.

SPS is a psychological ailment that can be treated with therapy. If your New York City plastic surgeons believe you may be suffering from SPS, they guide you to get help that may include:

• Understanding your triggers. Some men have specific triggers such as sexual situations or pornography that make them feel that they have an inferior penis.
• Cognitive behavior therapy. CBT helps you get a grip on your feelings and thus lessening the anxiety you have about your penis.
• Sex therapy or couples’ therapy. Stress about the size of your dick can lead problems with sex and achieving or maintaining an erection.
• Anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medications. Once you’ve been stabilized with the proper meds, you may be ready to try a temporary filler to see if that’s what you really want.
