A penis that is
abnormally small, also known as micropenis. In medical
practice, the dimension of the penis that is measured is
the length. This measurement is taken along the upper
surface of the shaft of the penis to the tip, using a
measuring tape or preferably a ruler. The ruler is pressed
firmly into the soft tissue over the pubic bone (the
symphysis pubis) since, in obese boys and men, a seemingly
small penis may be partly engulfed by the fat pad at its
base and actually be quite normal in length. Normal
standards are available for penile length. True micropenis
reflects failure of normal development (a birth defect) of the penis or failure of normal hormonal stimulation of the penis.
