Pollution affects penile growth and sperm count, study finds

Contamination affects penile growth and sperm count, resulting in an increasing number of babies being born with a small penis.

Pollution undoubtedly threatens the lives of all living things on the planet, but the modern world is threatening sperm counts and altering penile growth, endangering the future of the human race, a study says.

The research, included in Dr. Shanna H. Swan's book, "Countdown," points out that, as a result of pollution, an increasing number of babies have been born with a small penis.

In that sense, one of the world's leading environmental and reproductive epidemiologists points out that humanity is facing an existential crisis in fertility rates as a result of a chemical called phthalates, which causes human babies to be born with malformed genitalia.

Research by the professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City revealed that phthalate syndrome occurs when a fetus is exposed to chemicals, which over the years has resulted in the likelihood of babies being born with a shrunken penis.

Thus, Swan found that human male babies who are exposed to diphthalates during gestation in the womb, get a shorter anus-genital distance, something that is related to the volume of the penis.

How can phthalates cause the penis to shrink?

Phthalates or phthalic anhydride esters are a group of chemical compounds mainly used as plasticizers ?substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility.

They are used in everything from building and construction, to textiles and cosmetics, toys, vinyl wall and floor coverings, detergents, lubricating oils, food packaging, pharmaceuticals, blood bags and tubing.

They are also used for personal care products such as nail polish, hairspray, aftershave, soap, shampoo, perfume and others, so they are in constant contact with people of all ages and conditions.

During her search, Dr. Swan learned about the devastating power of chemicals, hidden but prevalent in our daily lives, to alter the ability of men and women to conceive and give birth to a healthy baby.

In turn, he found that these chemicals do much more than reduce sperm count; they affect many aspects of health and longevity, as well as that of future generations.

According to the BJUI medical journal, the average penis size falls within the following ranges:

Average length of a flaccid penis: 9.16 centimeters - approximately 3.6 inches.

Average length of a stretched flaccid penis: 13.24 cm ?approximately 5.3 inches?

Average length of an erect penis: 13.12 cm ?approximately 5.2 inches?

Average circumference of a flaccid penis: 9.31 cm ?approximately 3.7 inches?

Average circumference of an erect penis: 11.66 cm ?approximately 4.6 inches?

The study published in the prestigious medical journal also explains that other reasons why the penis could suffer alterations and reduce its size, is due to aging, weight gain, prostate surgery, Peyronie's disease, some medications and smoking.
