What special hormones causes Penile growth during puberty?

I saw this thread:

HGH and penis growth

And noticed this reply by dtwarren1942:

During puberty, your dick grows because special harmones are present which allows the HGH to enlarge the male genitals while these harmones are present. After puberty, these harmones are no longer present such that HGH no longer acts to increase the male genitals.

Does anyone know.. What is the name of these special hormones which are only available during puberty? I’m interested in how this works.

The hormone is called luck.

If I’m not mistaken, the most important one is dihydrotestosterone (DHT). I remember reading about it some years ago, and it’s the combination of that plus the elevated HGH levels during puberty that primarily contributes. I seem to remember reading that adolescents who are diagnosed with micropenis are treated with dihydrotestosterone to help correct the problem during puberty. I’m not sure how effective a treatment it is though. There are also a variety of other factors that limit additional growth after puberty, even with hormone supplements. The hormones generally don’t prompt bone, collagen or cartilage growth, but can produce soft tissue and organ growth.

In practice, that means you’re unlikely to increase height, reach, or penis size via hormones exclusively. I’ve heard anecdotal stories of increases in penis hand and foot size, but I’ve never seen any clinicals to back it up. I have however seen clinicals that show continued use if HGH can increase internal organ growth, which is very dangerous in the case of ones heart, since the pericardium surrounding it does not grow.

You’d be better off doing a Google search. Also, don’t accept that anyone who can’t spell hormones has any idea what they are talking about. It’s a bit like taking investment advice from a timeshare salesman.

It might have something to do with hormones, or more probably, the genes you inherit.

In short; Your genes provide you with the blueprint* of your body, which you can then reach if you don’t suffer from malnutrition, sleep accordingly, and do activities that are good for your endocrine system, and avoid doing things that are bad for it’s function.

*By blueprint I mean that there is a genetic potential that the parts of your body can reach. E.g. Your dick has a prime size it can reach during puberty which is encoded in your DNA. The same of course going for height, hand size, etc.

I guess this doesn’t even answer your question really, but I remember the specific hormone part being discussed in a Wikipedia article on ‘Human penis size’. Look there.

I just reread my post from earlier, and I would like to apologize for being a dick. I was in a bad mood because of something else and kinda went off the tracks there.

Here’s the wikipedia article:

Human penis size - Wikipedia

Androgens like testosterone are responsible for penis enlargement and elongation during puberty.[26] Penis size is positively correlated with increasing testosterone levels during puberty.[27] However, after puberty, administration of testosterone is not capable of affecting penis size, and androgen deficiency in adult men only results in a small decrease in size.[27] Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are also involved in penis size, with deficiency (such as that observed in growth hormone deficiency or Laron syndrome) at critical developmental stages having the potential to result in micropenis.

IIRC part of genetic expression is that certain hormones (or similar substances) may only exist at certain times in our lives which is why things grow the way they do, including penis size during puberty. Just trying to find out what those hormones/substances are. It was researching HGH as related to PE that brought me to this search.

HGH alone will do nothing.
It is mainly DHT and a few other hormones (but mainly dht) that work synergistically with HGH, igf, testosterone and etc to make the penis grow.
but it all depends on your genetic limit.

but it all depends on your genetic limit.

I’m just not believing this anymore. Consider very-juiced body-builders who have blown away their genetic limit. I think it may be possible to replicate the hormone cocktail of puberty and use that in a sort of “hormone replacement therapy” cruise to outpace the genetic limit of our penises. Anyone agree of disagree?

Certainly aren’t an expert on the topic, but I remember from the top of my head that hormones also need receptors to bind to, to cause the anabolic effects. And my guess would be that some of these receptors are only active for a limited time during puberty, while some stay active for longer. I really don’t know so don’t take my word for it.

Transgenders (female to male) use dht cream to make their clits into dicks.
Their clits dont grow to gigantic 9 inch monster cocks but rather grow a few inches. up to their genetic limit or even far less because the cream is inferior version of the hormone.

And you can look up the term “chemical PE” you”ll find out about guys who rubbed their dicks with dht cream along with PE,
It may be interesting for you.

This is correct. Your body produces DHT, testosterone, and HGH for many years after puberty has ended, but without the proper receptors, these hormones will not produce penis growth. Many bodybuilders “supplement” with these substances, and you never hear about genital growth as a side effect. Quite the opposite. As was mentioned, the “Chemical PE” thread has a lot more discussion of this topic.

Never heard of it. Could be, but IDK.
I know DHT is thought to be causative I’d make pattern baldness.

As a short, bald guy with a thick, but fairly short weiner that didn’t finish growing (natural, not from PE) till after I started losing my hair… I’m not so sure.

I have a feeling that, like almost everything else in human biology, there’s a complex combination of multiple factors, both genetic and environmental, that play a role.

I sure do wish I had an extender and a pump when I was 14, though. I bet pretty much most boys could create a magnum dong for themselves during that period of natural growth.
