What are the causes of penis thickening?

The growth of penis thickening may be caused by adolescent development, and may also be related to obesity, eczema and other diseases.

1. Adolescent development

During male puberty, testes begin to produce a large amount of testosterone hormone. The secretion of this hormone will lead to the growth of penis and other sexual characteristics.

2. Obese

and obese patients due to weight gain lead to the accumulation of fat around the penis, making the penis look thickened. However, this change is usually only in appearance and does not affect the actual structure of the penis.

3. Eczema

is an inflammatory disease. Patients with eczema may be mistaken for penis thickening due to continuous inflammation stimulation, causing congestion and edema.
