Doctors ‘concerned’ over growth in average penis size – here’s why

Why has the average penis size grown exponentially over 30 years? Well, an expert has made some interesting findings about that

The average size of a penis has apparently grown quite exponentially over the past three decades, even prompting much worry from the healthcare fraternity. This is all according to a new study published in the World Journal of Men’s Health, which revealed that the length of a man’s junk had increased by 24% during that period.

WHY HAS THE AVERAGE PENIS SIZE CHANGED?

While most men wouldn’t exactly be opposed to the idea of a bigger penis, experts reckon it may not be a good thing and have expressed their concern over it. According to research conducted at Stanford University, phallic inflation coule be due to unhealthy habits, like bingeing junk food or pollution, the New York Post reports.

“If we’re seeing this fast of a change, it means that something powerful is happening to our bodies … Erect penile length is getting longer, from an average of 4.8 inches to 6 inches, over the past 29 years,” said Dr. Michael Eisenberg, the study’s author.

Dr Eisenberg said he had initially expected to see a decline in the average penis size over the years, but that wasn’t the case.

“Given the trends we’d seen in other measures of men’s reproductive health, we thought there could be a decline in penile length due to the same environmental exposures. What we found was quite different from trends in other areas of male fertility and health,” he added.

Dr Eisenberg further said chemical exposure from pesticides or hygiene products could be one of the various factors causing the quick growth. Such chemicals can disrupt the endocrine system, which regulates hormones.
