What this size means
Below the average, and well inside the normal range. Clinicians put 90% of men between about 10.4 and 15.9 cm erect, and this size sits within that band. "Below average" is a statistical position, not a diagnosis: the medical cutoff for micropenis is under about 9.3 cm, measured stretched or erect.
