For people with mild to moderate anxiety about penis size, researching data on average penis sizes or asking a doctor about what constitutes a Micropenis may help. If a person is concerned about sexual performance, they may find comfort from a partner’s reassurance and support. Research suggests that the majority of heterosexual women are satisfied with their partner’s size. 

Medical treatment can help men with BDD, PDD or anxiety about penis size. Some treatment options include:

 

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): This type of therapy helps people understand how their thoughts affect their feelings and behaviour, and it can help them find ways to reduce anxiety.
  • Understanding and addressing triggers: For some, specific triggers – such as pornography or relationship problems – can cause penis size anxiety. Some people can reduce symptoms by identifying their triggers and working to manage them. 
  • Sex therapy or couples counselling: When penis size anxieties affect a person’s relationship or ability to have sex, therapy can help a couple work together to overcome the anxiety.

  • Are you able to refer me to a therapist?
  • Do I have symptoms of PDD?
  • Are there effective strategies for managing sexual dysfunction relating to anxiety?
