What Is Considered Normal?
Penis size varies widely among individuals, and most men fall within a normal range.

Flaccid (non-erect): Varies significantly
Erect length: Typically around 12–16 cm (varies naturally)
It’s important to note that size alone does not determine sexual function or satisfaction.
