One of the most frequently asked questions on Google on a medical topic is about penis enlargement. However, for medical reasons, only 20% of the world's male population requires this procedure. In other cases, the problem is purely psychological.
If a normal-sized man feels that his organ is too small and keeps thinking about how to do something about it, this is a type of mental disorder. Experts call this condition a syndromedysmorphophobia.
A man with body dysmorphic disorder may feel anxious and depressed and even become deeply depressed. During which he isolates himself with all his strength from society, especially from women.
If you are normal in size, but can't help but feel that your penis is too small, you need to seek special psychological help. A person in such a state needs support to return to a normal, fulfilling life and stop focusing on a non-existent problem. Treatment most often includes antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications.
What penis size is considered normal?
The normal size of the penis at rest ranges from 7 to 13 cm, when erect it ranges from 12 to 20 cm.
A micropenis is defined as a penis size at rest less than 6 cm and an erect size less than 9 cm. This pathology is diagnosed at birth.
And the sizes too large? Should we envy their owners?
The man with the largest penis is the American actor and writer John Falcon. His erect penis reaches 34. 3 cm. By the way, the impressive size of his manhood causes John a lot of inconvenience: it is difficult for him to find work – many companies do not want to hire an actor who became famous in This Way. Furthermore, a man is often stopped at the airport for further checks, mistaking the actor's dignity for contraband.
What determines penis size
First of all, the size of the penis depends on genetic data. An interesting fact is that the Y chromosome received from the father influences the fertility of the future man, and the maternal X chromosome determines the length and diameter of the penis. Additionally, many other factors influence the size of the manhood:
- The amount of androgen hormone in the mother's body during the early stages of pregnancy.
- The effect of some drugs during the embryonic period.
- Testosterone levels during puberty.
- Insufficient nutrition of the fetus in the womb and in the first years of the child's life.
- Unfavorable environment, exposure to harmful substances on the body during childhood and adolescence.
Is it possible to enlarge the penis and how to do it
Attention: scammers!
Currently the Internet is full of offers of means to enlarge the penis. Manufacturers of ointments, gels, tablets and creams competed to tell how to increase penis length by purchasing their miracle product. All this is nothing more than a publicity stunt. Most of them can only increase blood flow and strengthen erection. But this effect is short-lived and ends immediately after you stop using the product. And of course, the original size remains the same.
After reading fake reviews and spending money on dubious products, at best you will be left with nothing, at worst you will receive undesirable consequences. And if you find a recipe on how to enlarge your penis with soda, stay away from these tips! The only thing you can get from these tricks is health problems.
Are there any working methods for penis enlargement at home?
Let's consider the most popular methods that answer the question: how to enlarge the penis without surgery at home.
Jelqing
The description of this technique explains how to enlarge the penis with a massage, which you can do yourself, stretching, rotating and compressing the penis with your hands. Adherents of this training promise an increase in the length of the penis by 1 - 2 cm. In general, this technique differs from conventional masturbation only in that it is performed on a semi-erect organ and should not lead to ejaculation. Information about the effectiveness of jelqing is based on reviews located on dubious sites and fake studies. In fact, there is not a single official study confirming the positive effects of jelqing. But it is quite possible to experience penile injury, erectile dysfunction or a real mental disorder without achieving any results.
Vacuum pump
The principle of operation of the pump is based on the creation of a negative pressure inside it, due to which there is an increase in blood flow to the capillaries and arteries of the penis. There are different types of pumps:
Manual with pear
The air is pumped manually by pressing the bulb. The simplest and cheapest model.
Manual with pump
Instead of a light bulb, a small pump is used for convenience and faster pumping of air.
Automatic pump
Powered by rechargeable batteries. The air is pumped out automatically.
Hydraulic pump
The penis is massaged using water, which fills the space of the pump. In this case the liquid replaces the air and is also pumped outside. More suitable for bathroom use.
Expert opinion regarding using a pump is that it does more harm than good. The size of the penis increases for a while due to swelling, but the effect does not last long. But prolonged and frequent compression of the organ can lead to cracks, hemorrhages and erectile dysfunction.
Extender
It is an orthopedic device, when worn there is a slow physiological lengthening of the penile tissues in length and width of 1-3 cm. It is recommended to wear it for 3-6 hours a day, for several months. It is recommended to start with 30 minutes a day, gradually increasing the time by 30 minutes each day. The device consists of a ring that covers the base of the penis, a ring that fixes the head and a support that measures the elongation of the organ. The elastic element is present in the form of a strap or vacuum. The latter is considered the most convenient. You can wear extenders both at home and at work. Positive features of the extender:
- Measured physiological relaxation of the tissues.
- Improves blood circulation.
- Growth stimulation.
- Increase in penis size.
- The disadvantage of the device is the need to wear it for a long time.
Stretchers
A device similar to an extender in its functions, but more compact. There are two types of stretchers: ring and vacuum. This device is easier to wear, but more often causes complications in the form of circulatory problems due to strong compression of the head. All these devices work on the same principle: the tissue of the penis is stretched due to the load, which ensures a natural increase in size. But all of them do not give significant results.
Injection techniques
Recently, the procedure for penis enlargement using hyaluronic acid injections has become very popular. Hyaluronic acid-based biogels have proven effective in male intimate plastic surgery. With the help of these drugs you can solve many problems related to both the appearance of the penis and its functional capabilities. Hyaluronic acid filler is used to safely change the size of the penis, compensate for missing volume in places where it is needed and also to enlarge the head of the penis. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The only disadvantage of this method of changing the size of the penis is its fragility. Over time, hyaluronic acid is absorbed. The effect of the procedure lasts 1-2 years.
How to increase penis width
Collagen matrix
The principle of its operation is to install two cylinders on the shaft of the penis with a cutout at the location of the urethra. Collagen cylinders trigger the formation of additional connective tissue. The matrix itself dissolves within 3-6 months and its own tissue forms in its place. The postoperative period lasts 2-3 months.
Gel implants
The implants are installed between the skin and the shaft of the penis, causing it to thicken. This type of operation is reversible. If necessary, gel implants can be removed. To date this method is considered experimental.
Ligamentotomy
Penis enlargement surgery is the only proven and effective method to correct the length of the penis. The size obtained after surgery remains for life. Lingamentotomy is performed not only for medical reasons, but also for aesthetic reasons. Contraindications to the use of this operation are bleeding disorders, diabetes mellitus, infectious and oncological diseases. It is performed under local anesthesia or combined anesthesia.
How is a lingamentotomy performed?
During the operation, an incision is made in the ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone, due to this the organ is lengthened by 3-5 cm. The procedure lasts from 30 minutes to 1 hour, the rehabilitation period lasts approximately 1 month.
In the postoperative period it is mandatory to wear the extender for 4-6 months for 3 hours a day. This recommendation is important to achieve the desired result. The extender should be worn strictly according to the scheme recommended by the doctor.
So, we talked about what effective methods exist to enlarge the penis and how to avoid falling into the hands of scammers. All methods require significant financial costs and time commitment. Today there are no easy and free methods. Think about it: is it worth resorting to such complex, time-consuming and expensive methods if your size is normal or at the lower limit? A harmonious sexual life does not depend on the size of the phallus, but on the personal qualities of its owner and, of course, on the relationship between partners, and male dignity is not measured in centimeters.
