I'm 18 years old, about a year ago (probably longer) i started noticing lots of hairs all over my body. I've just recently had to start shaving the side of my face and on my neck but i dont really get much hair above my lip yet. My penis still hasnt increase in size, although i think it may have increased in size a tiny bit but that may just be wishful thinking. I'm also diabetic and i often wonder if that would be a problem to my delayed puberty. My voice also hasnt broken yet and i am around 5ft 10 and i weigh around 12stone. I also have quite a lot of body fat on the upper part of my body. I'm possibly going to uni next year and i'm just worried that i still wont have developed by then. It didnt really bother me untill i was about 16/17 and i'd get really depressed about it and i have started to get even more worried about it now.

Does anyone know what i should do? Should i visit the doctor? If so....what should i say? (seems like a stupid quesiton).

Thanks anyone for the help :-(
I also masturbate frequently, probably too much. Does this mean its nothing to do with low tostesterone levels and i'm just taking a little longer to develop?

I would definitely see a doctor if I were you. Your medical condition may not be the issue but your doctor would have the better answer. Please remember, always be straight with your doctor. You are not telling him anything any more unusual that anything he has heard before. Your concerns are legitimate.

I had a friend who had worries about his growth at 18 as well. He requested and was given steroids to enhance his growth. He boasted that the biggest growth he saw was in his penis.

I've been wanting to book an appointment at the doctor, but i dont know what to say. What should i say when i ring up and what should i say at my appointment.
Thanks for the help by the way.

I would just say you need a regular checkup to get the appointment and tell your doctor about your concerns once there. He will probably want to take a look so hopefully the doctor will be male. I know it seems embarrassing now, but believe me, my wife is a nurse, people see doctors for much more embarrassing reasons.

I would do that before I spent the remainder of my life wondering if something could have been done. You may just be a late developer. Also, keep in mind, you will continue to grow for the next ten tears at least. I was 5'9" when I graduated high school. I am 5'11" now. I am 40.

I went to the appointment today. The doctor didnt seem to know what the hell i was talking about when i mentioned the size of my penis. He asked me can i ejaculate, get an erection and do i have pubic hairs and i replied with yes. He then took a look and he said thats a perfectly normal size penis. My penis is 2" unerected and 4" erected (width is 1" thick). Now i know "size doesnt matter" but the fact that my penis hasn't grown at all since....i can remember, worries me. Shorely my penis will grow eventually and it just hasnt yet? I know you cant truly answer the questions because you could be wrong. He also made no mention of tostesterone injections and just put it down to - i have a perfectly normal penis.
He said he's going to talk to someone about it and call me next week but it doesnt look good.
He told me not to worry, how does he expect me not to worry when the world is fixated on the fact that the bigger the penis the better. Its not just about how i look, its about how i feel and how i make another girl feel.

Well even though you are worried about your penis you have big balls for actually going to the doctor :-D and that I also know someone my friends cousin hes 19 and it hasn't but it will eventually and by the way having a penis is overrated like your lucky your body saved you from getting pregnant during high school and drop out and screw up your life.

Hey guys I'm 17 turning 18 soon and I have a 3-4 inch when I'm unerected and 7-7.5 when erected but my testicles don't match my penis at all there a lot smaller and the width of my penis is only 1 1/2 - 2 inches which bothers me also when I'm nervous or have to go to the washroom sometimes my testicles shrink to the point that it's really uncomfortable. I have hit puberty I have a deep voice and body hair but I don't know what to do does anyone have any answers.
