Research Notes on Small Penis Syndrome
The term small penis syndrome has been described as men who have excessive anxiety about the size of their penis and who have a clinically average sized penis. The researchers who first coined "small penis syndrome" suggest that it could be part of obsessive thinking, body dysmorphic disorder, or a larger psychosis.1
