0.97 centimeters. That is the exact measurement that Michael Phillips, 38, in North Carolina, U.S., showed the world when he decided to stop hiding his condition. 🩺

It all started as an almost joking challenge: he dared anyone to prove that he did not have the smallest penis in the world. But behind that provocation was a clinically diagnosed micropenis, far below the medical threshold of 7.5 centimeters when erect, which made something as simple as urinating without spilling on himself difficult.

What seemed like internet voyeurism turned into something else. More than 250 people donated nearly $13,000 so Phillips could afford a procedure that would restore some normality to his life. Not even he expected such generosity.
