PURPOSE: There have been a few reports investigating the measurement of penile lengths, but none that compare the results of circumcision with penile length. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between penile length and circumcision, and the mean penile length of physically and sexually active young men in Korea. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The penile lengths in the flaccid and stretched states were measured, between November 2002 and April 2003, in a random group of 2,335 young men without endocrine disorders or an anomaly of the penis. Patients were classified as circumcised (group 1, n=1,767) or uncircumcised (group 2, n=568). The age, body height, body weight, and flaccid and stretched penile lengths were analyzed. RESULTS: The mean values of the flaccid and stretched penile lengths were 7.92+/-3.00 and 12.03+/-2.66cm, and 8.07+/-1.19 and 11.71+/-1.81cm in groups 1 and 2, respectively, with statistical significance according to the stretched length between the two groups (p<0.05). The flaccid and stretched lengths were correlated with height and weight in group 1 (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we confirmed the normal range for penile length of young adults in Korea. The results of this study showed that a circumcision did not influence the penile length or increase the penile length postoperatively.

AIM: To investigate the flaccid and stretched penile sizes of young Korean men and their complexes or pride about their penile size. METHODS: After an explanation and agreement to the purpose and methods of this study, 123 Korean men in their early 20's visiting the Jinhae Military General Hospital were included in the study. The flaccid penile length, flaccid mid-shaft circumference, stretched length and pre-pubic bone fat pad depth were measured in a warm comfortable environment. The accuracy the subjects assessed their penile size was investigated by asking them to rate their penile size, as 'very small', 'small', 'normal', 'large'or 'very large', All subjects were asked to complete the Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory (MMPI) test. RESULTS: The mean flaccid length, flaccid circumference, stretched length and fat pad depth of the 123 subjects were (6.9+/-0.8) cm, (8.5+/-1.1) cm, (9.6 +/-0.8) cm and (1.1 +/-0.4) cm, respectively. The answer distribution on penile size was 1 (0.8 %) 'very small', 29 (23.6 %) 'small', 86 (69.9 %) 'normal', 6 (4.9 %) 'large' and 1 (0.8%) 'very large'. Subjects who underestimated their penile size showed significantly higher scores on the hypochondriasis (Hs), depression (D) and psychasthenia (Pt) subscales of the MMPI than those in the Unbiased Group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: In consultation, with a patient requesting penile augmentation, the urologist should consider the psychologic attitude of the patient to his penile size.
