I am 24 years old and I have spina bifida. I have a very small penis and not
much feeling. Is this common with men who have spina bifida? What can I
do?

Unfortunately, lack of sensation is very common with men with spina bifida,
depending upon the extent of the disability.
Average penis size is 4.5 to 5.5 inches, although individuals do vary. Many
times, penis size can be small because of atrophy of that muscle. Many men
find that if they massage and masturbate more often, they can sometimes get
a bit more size.
Some men look into using
penis pumps
to help them achieve and maintain an erection, while others use
prosthetic extenders
to enjoy partner intercourse.
