Abstract:Objetivo: Classicamente, o pênis tem duas funções: permitir a fertilização interna e direcionar o jato miccional. Entretanto, alterações objetivas do tamanho peniano podem levar ao diagnóstico de doenças. Além disso, é motivo comum de consulta médica a busca por parâmetros de normalidade do tamanho do pênis. Contudo, a antropometria do pênis da criança e do adolescente brasileiros ainda não foi devidamente estudada. O objetivo do estudo é realizar a antropometria do pênis de crianças e adolescentes brasileiros… Show more
“…It has been reported that there is no significant increase in PL from age 0 to 5 years, with a slow rate of growth observed from 5 to 10 years and an increased rate from 11 to 18 years. 6 This finding has been corroborated by others. 7,8 Reference tables for PL are necessary to demonstrate a possible deviation from normal growth since a short penis may be the only sign of endocrinological pathology.…”

“…However, this study did not consider GDS or puberty. 6 Similarly Marshall and Tanner reported PLs of 12.5 to 14.5 cm at 12.5 years and 12.5 to 16.5 cm at 14.5 years. 3 In another study Schonfeld and Beebe reported mean Ϯ SD PL of 9.8 Ϯ 4.9 cm at 14 years.…”
Penile length during puberty should be evaluated individually according to the current pubertal stage. Our study offers a reliable reference table of penile length for pubertal age group.

“…Reassurance in these men has been demonstrated to be effective, with 86% of a recent population presenting with concerns over penis size successfully reassured when given evidence of comparison with their peer group [14]. A question is whether men with SPA should be compared with a reference range including those men with micropenis, as in the pediatric study of Gabrich and colleagues [15]. Our feeling is that reassuring men that they are "larger" than a micropenis would be cold comfort to them and the use of a nomogram looking at "normal" men is more likely to be of clinical use, but this is open to research.…”
“…In 2006, evaluation of 2126 children in Taiwan revealed normal penile length values of that country (5). Another study from Brazil (2) showed that 2010 children’s and adolescents’ penile length was measured and normal values of that country were established. In the latter study, there was no significant difference on 1‐ to 4‐year‐old children’s penile length with our age‐matched groups.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
