Micro penis treatment in the UK | Moorgate Andrology

Many men worry about having a penis that seems smaller than average. In some cases, the cause can be a medical condition known as micropenis. This is where the penis measures significantly below the average length for an adult male, even after puberty. While rare, it can cause understandable anxiety, low confidence, and sexual frustration. The good news is that there are effective treatment options available.

Understanding Micropenis

Micropenis is usually defined as a stretched penile length more than 2.5 standard deviations below the mean for age and ethnicity. In adult men, this typically means a stretched length of less than 7 cm (about 2.75 inches). The condition can be caused by hormonal issues during development, genetic factors, or rarely, structural abnormalities.

Treatment Options for Micropenis

1. Hormone Therapy (in Childhood)
   When micropenis is diagnosed in infancy or early childhood, hormone treatment with testosterone or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) can help stimulate penile growth. This is usually not an option in adulthood, but it highlights the importance of early diagnosis.

2. Penis Enlargement Surgery (Penoplasty)
   For adults with micropenis, surgery is the most effective option to improve penile length and confidence. At Moorgate Andrology, experienced Urologists perform penis enlargement surgery to release the suspensory ligament and enhance both flaccid and erect length. In some cases, fat transfer or dermal grafting can also be used to improve girth.

3. Penile Implants
   If erectile dysfunction is also present, a penile implant can be considered. This device provides rigidity for sexual function and can sometimes add visible length depending on the anatomy and technique used.

4. Non-Surgical Enhancements
   Some men may start with penis filler treatments using hyaluronic acid to increase girth. While this does not change the true length, it can improve the appearance and confidence. However, men with true micropenis are often better suited to surgical solutions for longer-term results.

Psychological and Emotional Support

Having micropenis can take an emotional toll. It’s important to address not only the physical but also the psychological impact. At Moorgate Andrology, patients can speak confidentially with medical professionals who understand the sensitive nature of these concerns. Support and counselling can help reduce anxiety and improve quality of life before and after treatment.

Choosing the Right Clinic

If you’re considering treatment for micropenis, it’s vital to see a qualified Urologist with experience in male genital surgery. At Moorgate Andrology, procedures are carried out by GMC-registered Urologists with years of surgical experience in penile reconstruction and enlargement.
