To investigate the flaccid and stretched penile sizes of young Korean men and their complexes or pride about their penile size.
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.
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).
In consultation, with a patient requesting penile augmentation, the urologist should consider the psychologic attitude of the patient to his penile size.
调查韩国年轻男性疲软状态和拉伸状态下阴茎的尺寸，以及他们对阴茎尺寸的情结或自豪感。
在对本研究的目的和方法进行解释并征得同意后，纳入了123名20岁出头、前往镇海陆军总医院就诊的韩国男性。在温暖舒适的环境中测量疲软阴茎长度、疲软阴茎中段周长、拉伸长度和耻骨前脂肪垫深度。通过让受试者将自己的阴茎尺寸评为“非常小”“小”“正常”“大”或“非常大”，来调查他们评估自身阴茎尺寸的准确性。所有受试者均被要求完成明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）测试。
123名受试者的平均疲软长度、疲软周长、拉伸长度和脂肪垫深度分别为（6.9±0.8）厘米、（8.5±1.1）厘米、（9.6±0.8）厘米和（1.1±0.4）厘米。阴茎尺寸的答案分布为：1人（0.8%）“非常小”，29人（23.6%）“小”，86人（69.9%）“正常”，6人（4.9%）“大”，1人（0.8%）“非常大”。低估自己阴茎尺寸的受试者在MMPI的疑病（Hs）、抑郁（D）和精神衰弱（Pt）分量表上的得分显著高于无偏差组（P<0.05）。
在为要求阴茎增大的患者提供咨询时，泌尿科医生应考虑患者对其阴茎尺寸的心理态度。
