What Makes a Penis "Good-Looking"?

Learn how women perceive the appearance of surgically corrected hypospadias and what features they value most!

Welcome to Yourology with Dr. Malik – your weekly prescription for the latest medical updates, valuable insights, and freshest highlights straight from the frontlines of medicine!

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT:

Did you know some people are born with their "pee hole" or urethral meatus in the wrong location? That's called a hypospadia and many kids born with this problem undergo surgery to correct this. A recent study explored how 105 women perceive the appearance of a penis that underwent surgically corrected hypospadias. They found that the position and shape of the meatus or pee hold were the least important features in their evaluations. Notably, women perceived distal hypospadias as looking normal, on par with circumcised genitals, while more proximal hypospadias were viewed as less normal, though the difference was minor.

Now why does this matter?

Surgically correcting mild hypospadias cases may not be necessary for cosmetic reasons. Most women don't really notice a difference!

Q&A WITH DR. MALIK:

A Question from a subscriber: “Am not sure what it is but I got the premature ejaculating and my testicals shrank in size what's happening

Answer:

Premature ejaculation (PE) can be caused by a combination of neurological, hormonal, psychological, medical, lifestyle, and relationship factors, it's worth talking to a urologist to ensure your hormones are optimized and investigate if there are any other issues that might be contributing. Testicles becoming smaller in size may be a sign of low testosterone, which can contribute to premature ejaculation.
