Much to his fans' amazement, plastic surgeon and TikTok star Dr. Anthony Youn, has now explained that finger length can - quite accurately - predict a person's penis size.
Dr. Anthony regularly shares nuggets of medical wisdom with his 7.6 million TikTok followers, educating them on fascinating health and human biology-related topics such as "how to live 13 years longer" and "where does hair come from?"
A recent video, which has been viewed more than 1.1 million times, has left followers particularly engrossed, revealing that there is in fact a notable correlation between finger length and penis size.
The doctor went on to detail a study, published in the Asian Journal of Andrology back in 2011, which was carried out on 144 Korean men over the age of twenty.

The men, who'd all been hospitalized for urological surgery, were anaesthetised before their respective operations, having given their "informed consent" beforehand.
Whilst they were still under anaesthetic, the surgeons measured the length of the men's index and ring fingers, before going on to measure the size of their penis "whilst it was flaccid and stretched out".
It was determined that the men with smaller index fingers were more likely to be on the bigger side, while those with lengthier index fingers had smaller members.
As per this study: "Based on this evidence, we suggest that the digit ratio can predict adult penile size and that the effects of prenatal testosterone may in part explain the differences in adult penile length".
After running through the study findings, Dr. Anthony - who goes by the username tonyyounmd proceeded to display his own hand, which he compared with the digits of another TikTok doctor, Dr. Ricky Brown, smirking as he asked fans to "look at that long index finger!"
The clip has made quite the impression on Dr. Anthony's followers, who of course couldn't help but take a quick glimpse at their own fingers.
One person wrote, “I have small fingers... this can’t be right."
While another user fretted, “I was scared at first because I have short fingers."
