Brief Answer: Habituation,varies between individuals. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Welcome to Healthcare magic, Nice to meet you here. I assume you mean to say about urination when you use the word 'wee'. Please let me know if otherwise. The habituation of using urinals before swimming varies between individuals. So, if you feel it uncomfortable don’t try it. It wont have any effect on body. Most people feels uncomfortable to urinate in the presence of others, such as in a public restroom .As you have only four episodes in last 22 years, it is absolutely normal, and it is not related to any medical conditions,[ like shy bladder syndrome] and no treatment is needed regarding this.Do not worry as it is normal for most of the individuals . Take care. Dr.surendiran.g

I mean that exactly sir urination but luckily I swam a few minutes ago with my tutor XXXXXXX we both had a wee before hand and having a conversation about the weather and it came very quick with no bother as he stood next to me another question about penis size as XXXXXXX and I worry ours is too big, mine is 5 in flaccid and 6in erect and struggle to hide the bulge in our trunks. is it correct the average penis is 3 to 4 inches flaccid and 5.1 - 5.9 erect excluding the foreskin XXXXXXX is exactly excluding the foreskin and feel embarrassed, we both reached puberty very early and had fully grown penises at 13. Do those who reach puberty earlier have bigger penises?? I tend to find some nights I ejaculate while sleeping as I tend to get a lot of very strong erections and find my penis and pyjama bottoms centres covered in sperm I have had this since puberty. I always wash it off when having a morning shower. as a busy businessman I don't have time for sex could this be why?? regards XXXX Many thanks Dr Surediran XXXXXXX and I would like to express our greatest thanks as to how you helped us today in the above question, I asked the question on penis size above because we feel disadvantaged as ours are bigger than average. how common is it to have a fully grown penis at 13? and very early puberty. I even had all my pubic hair, chest and leg hair by 14 and started shaving, is this becoming more common ???and was 6ft tall at 13 and have remained 6ft since Kind regards XXXX

Brief Answer: Follows, Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Nice to meet you again, As I said already, you are completely normal ,I have received 3 follow up query from your side, I try to answer one by one, 1 Regarding the external genitalia [penis] size, it usually varies from individual to individual depends on their build and their bodily availability of nutrition,so do not worry it is normal for people to have different sizes of penis. 2 Using tight boxers will help you to hide the penis,if you are still worried about your situation. 3 No, attaining puberty in early age has no connection with the size of the penis. 4.As you are not having any intercourse,the sperms produced are automatically ejaculated in order to make room for the newly synthesized sperms ,resulting in night ejaculation and it is completely normal,and need not to worry about that. 5. As I said earlier, the size depends upon the individual build and their genetics,and it is also common to have fully developed penis and pubic hair[secondary sexual characters change] even at the age of 14,if the person gets an adequate nutrition and supplements he required . Am happy to know that you are satisfied with the query, Feel free to ask for future query. Take care. Dr.surendiran.g
