She’s sizing up some seriously big myths.
A surgeon specializing in sexual health says you can not tell the scale of a person’s penis just by taking a look at his hands and feet.
Dr. Rena Malik made the declaration on the Diary of a CEO podcast on Monday, squashing the stereotype that blokes with larger shoes are higher endowed.
Nevertheless, the surgeon — who practices in each Beverly Hills and Irvine, Calif. — said there’s one body part that would accurately indicate the scale of a person’s member.
“There’s one study — it’s a Japanese study where they checked out only Japanese men so there are some limitations — but they measured all these body parts and penile length and so they found was that nose length was correlated with penile length, not hand length or foot,” Malik declared.
The expert didn’t reveal whether she had seen other studies linking nose and penis size, but said she’d definitely noticed an uptick in patients panicked about their pecker.
Malik said lads who want to elongate their willy could use a traction device.
“These are devices which are made for penile lengthening but they’re also made for men who’ve something called Peyronie’s disease,” she explained.
Based on the Mayo Clinic, Peyronie’s disease “is a condition through which fibrous scar tissue forms within the deeper tissues under the skin of the penis” causing curved and painful erections.
It also could make the penis shorter while erect.
Malik said a traction device can increase the length of a penis by as much as 2cm.
Nevertheless, males anxious over the scale of their penis should fear not.
Last 12 months, one other doctor declared that almost all people overestimate the scale of the typical penis and said most men barely measure greater than five inches even after they’re rock hard.
Dr. Jen Caudle dished the small print in a TikTok clip in a bid to change expectations about appendages and destroy the motto that “size matters.”
“The typical size of a flaccid penis is 3.6 inches, and the typical size of an erect penis is 5.17 inches. Did you recognize that? It’s actually shorter than I feel a variety of people would imagine.”
