Hello, recent statistics indicate that the average erect penis length for young men in Taiwan is between 12 to 13 centimeters.
If it measures over 10 centimeters, it should not be considered too short; the key factor is whether it functions properly.
Its length is innate, meaning it is what it is, and it will not increase due to reduced sexual activity, nor will excessive masturbation cause hair to turn white.
Additionally, for issues related to your foreskin, you should consult a urologist or dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Concerns about penis size and related urological issues are common among many men, and it's important to address these concerns with accurate information and a clear understanding of what is normal and what might require medical attention.

Firstly, regarding penis size, it's essential to recognize that there is a wide range of what is considered normal. Studies have shown that the average erect penis size is around 5 to 6 inches in length, but many men fall outside this range and still function normally in sexual and reproductive capacities. If you are concerned about your size, it might be helpful to consult with a urologist who can provide reassurance and discuss any underlying concerns you may have.

Reducing sexual activity or masturbation will not lead to an increase in penis size. The size of the penis is primarily determined by genetics and hormonal factors during puberty. Engaging in sexual activity or masturbation does not affect its size. It's also worth noting that excessive worry about size can lead to performance anxiety, which may affect sexual function and satisfaction.

As for the concern about hair turning white due to frequent masturbation, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Hair color is determined by genetics and the presence of melanin, and while stress and aging can affect hair color, masturbation does not have a direct impact on it.

Regarding the black spots on your testicles, it is important to have any new or unusual skin changes evaluated by a healthcare professional. These spots could be benign, such as seborrheic keratosis or other harmless skin lesions, but they could also indicate a condition that requires attention. A urologist can perform an examination and determine if any further testing is necessary.

The white bumps you describe on the skin of the penis could be hair follicles or pearly penile papules, which are normal anatomical variations and not a cause for concern. However, if you notice any changes in color, size, or if they become painful or itchy, it is advisable to seek medical advice.

In summary, while concerns about penis size and related urological issues are common, it is crucial to approach these concerns with accurate information and professional guidance. Consulting with a urologist can provide clarity and reassurance, helping you address any worries you may have about your sexual health and anatomy. Regular check-ups and open discussions about your concerns can lead to better understanding and management of your health. Remember, sexual health is an important aspect of overall well-being, and seeking help is a positive step towards addressing any issues you may face.
