Text Extraction
The penis is the male sexual organ which enables fertilization to take place in the female through penetration and ejaculation and it is also the organ acting as the duct through which urine is passed out of the body. Socio-cultural and communication circumstances have played a role in the important increase in medical consultations with specialists in pediatrics, endocrinology and urology in relation to
micropenis or “
small penis”.
