      Biologically speaking, aging is a spontaneous and inevitable process of organisms over time. It is a complex natural phenomenon manifested by structural and functional decline, and loss of adaptability and resistance. Physiologically, aging is regarded as the history of individual development starting from the fertilized egg and continuing to old age. Pathologically, aging is the result of the accumulation of stress and strain, injury and infection, decreased immune response, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic disorders, and neglect and abuse. A man’s baby is also a part of his body. What are the signs of his aging?

      1. Appearance changes.

      Beijing Dawn Hospital Expert introduction, male By your forties, the glans will gradually lose its purplish-red color, mainly due to reduced blood flow. As androgen levels decline, the pubic hair on the penis will become thinner and thinner, gradually returning to the hairless state before puberty.

      2. Size “shrinks”.

      It is common for men to gain weight as they age. In some cases, belly fat can bury the penis. The length and thickness of the penis will also change slightly. If a European and American man's erect penis is 15 centimeters long when he is in his 30s, then when he is 60 or 70 years old, it may only be about 12 centimeters. ”

      Domestic experts have measured 1,412 cases in China healthy Penis size of young men and erect penis length of 126 healthy men. The results show that under normal conditions, the longest is 14.5 cm, the shortest is 4 cm, and the average is 8.375 cm; the maximum circumference is 12 cm, the minimum is 4.5 cm, and the average is 8.3 cm. When erect, the longest is 16 cm, the shortest is 9 cm, and the average is 12 cm; when erect, the maximum circumference is 14 cm, the smallest is 8 cm, and the average is 10.75 cm.

      In another survey, the penis length of 1,000 normal adult men was: the normal length range is 4.9-8.6 cm, the average is 6.55 cm, the longest is 10.6 cm, and the shortest is 3.7 cm.

      The results from the measurement of the penises of 2547 male college students aged 16-40 years showed that the average length was 7.43 cm and the average circumference was 8.17 cm; the average penis length was 13.34 cm, which is similar to the calculated erect length of 13.08 cm, so the length after erection can be represented by the length.

      It can be seen that there are certain differences in the measurement results. Experts from Beijing Shuguang Hospital said that the results are also affected by region, ethnicity, etc. In addition, the length of the penis of the same person is not constant under normal conditions. For example, the penis can be shortened when nervous, cold or severely fatigued. In addition, the measurement methods themselves are quite different, so it is difficult to judge whether the penis is normal simply from the length. Therefore, the above figures can only be used as a guide.

      3. The penis is more "curved".

      If scarring accumulates unevenly, the penis may become more and more curved. This is called Peyronie's disease and is most common in middle-aged people. It can cause pain during erection and difficulty with intercourse, so patients should seek medical attention. Peyronie's disease can be mild, moderate or severe, and symptoms can come on slowly or overnight. Common symptoms of Peyronie's disease include: 1. Hard plaques on the penis that may be painless 2. Curvature of the penis 3. Hard lumps appearing on the upper side of the penis will cause the penis to bend upward (this is the more common situation), while hard lumps appearing on the lower side of the penis will cause the penis to bend downward. 3. In some patients, hard lumps will appear on both the upper and lower sides of the penis, shortening and deforming the penis. 4. Feeling uncomfortable or painful when the penis is erect. 5. Erectile dysfunction.

      4. The penis is not sensitive.

      Many studies show that the penis becomes less sensitive over time, which can affect erections and delay orgasm.

      While these changes are inevitable, they don't seriously affect sex. Because an important part of a happy sex life is a sexual partner who can satisfy you, not an organ.
