Penis enlargement: how real is it?

The banana in the condom mimics an enlarged rooster

Everyone knows that the absence of pumps, pills, or exercise will make the penis bigger, or will it?

"I have been asked this question all the time, " said Michael, a urologist at the Harvard Medical Institute and Women's Clinic in Boston. "For penis enlargement, men are willing to do anything. " But is it true?

Not really. "This is total nonsense, " O'Leary repeated wearily. After all, if it is really that simple, then every man will have a 30 cm penis for a long time.

But common sense still cannot stop everyone. As we continue to pursue self-improvement, penis enlargement ads are everywhere. Penis enlargement pills sold illegally are advertised on TV. Without your consent, such advertisements will continue to be sent to you via email. In the United States, more than 10, 000 men, and possibly many more, have received more than just controversial penis enlargement surgery.

But don't rush to take money and lower your pants. We have reviewed all fraud methods for penis enlargement and are ready to share with you.

Can my penis get bigger?

Small and big penis with vegetables as an example

First of all, even if you are sure that your penis is small, in fact, strangely, its size may be normal. The average size of an erect penis is 10-15 cm.

The length of the non-erective penis may vary. But this means that if you find someone’s penis in the dressing room impressive in size, it is unlikely to become larger in an erect state, and vice versa, a penis that looks small may be noticeableIncrease.

Second, if you still think your penis is small, even if the ruler says otherwise, then you can diagnose yourself from the field of psychiatry: penile deformity. This diagnosis is close to his body’s distorted perception of anorexia, when a person continues to think that he is fat or even painfully thin. According to a study, most men who undergo penis enlargement surgery suffer from this disease. After the operation, they are still dissatisfied with their body shape.

Karen Elizabeth Boyle, MD, assistant professor of urology at the Johns Hopkins Reproductive Medicine and Surgery Clinic in Baltimore, said: "Men who have a normal penis size but think they are small are more likely to benefit from a psychiatrist than a surgeon. . "

Pumps, pills, goat herb tinctures and other penis enlargement nonsense

Well, reasonable advice from experts is enough. If you haven't enlarged your penis yet, here is a quick overview on how to enlarge your penis.

Penis enlargement vacuum pump

Vacuum pump. This is a classic penis enlargement device. Place your penis in the cylinder connected to the air pump. With the help of the vacuum, more blood enters the penis, thereby making the penis erect and making it bigger. Then pinch the penis with a tourniquet or the like to prevent blood from flowing back.

These pumps are used in medicine to treat sexual dysfunction. But the effect of penis enlargement will soon disappear. After removing the ring, the penis will return to its normal size.

Potential risks include temporary impotence, abscesses, bruising, blood vessel damage, and skin loss of its natural color and thinning. Wear the ring for up to 20-30 minutes, after which tissue damage may begin.

Exercises, weightlifting and other equipment. First of all, please remember: You cannot overstretch your penis through exercises such as biceps. This is not muscle. However, some devices and types of stimulation are said to stretch the skin and lengthen the penis itself.

A well-known example is jelqing, a set of pultrusion milking exercises. Naturally, this method has an "ancient" (read "fake") history: the website describes an ancient Arabic technique passed from father to son. The details of the promise will be announced after the remittance. But exercise according to the jelqing system requires a lot of time, which is 30-60 minutes of active penile contraction every day. The real difficulty is that these exercises need to be performed on an unerected penis. Therefore, you need self-discipline, a lot of free time, and lockable doors.

Another way to enlarge the penis is to wear a special device on the penis to stretch it. Sometimes this device needs to be worn for 8 hours a day, using weight. "Somehow they sent me something like this, " O'Leary said, "it looks like a medieval torture device. "

Is one of these methods effective? Boyle said no. O'Leary said very carefully that they might be able to stretch the skin. But it has no effect on the size of the penis. In addition, these methods require inhuman diligence. Risks include tissue damage, rupture of blood vessels and other problems. O'Leary recently saw a patient put a lot of weight on an erect penis and damaged the penis by tearing tissue. The result is unbearable pain and surgery.

Tablets, supplements and creams. Complete nonsense. Without exception. Most are made with yohimbe, ginseng and goat grass. There are no registered cases of penis enlargement with their help.

Surgical penis enlargement

Unlike most penis enlargement methods, surgery is effective. Even critics admit this. Of course, there are risks, and the results may not be as impressive as you might hope. A study published in "European Urology" in 2006 pointed out that the average length increased after surgery was less than 2. 5 cm. Plastic surgeon Mark P. Solomon, MD, pointed out that the results were average, but slightly better than before the operation.

There are two main types of penis enlargement surgery:

  • The penis is lengthened.The penis is connected to the pelvis using strong cords called supporting ligaments. They are related to the penis and hide part of it in the body. Surgical cutting of these ligaments can relieve tension, and theoretically, more penis becomes visible. To prevent the ligaments from rehealing, you may need to wear a weight or traction device every day for six months.
  • Thickening of the penis.Initially, the procedure involves removing fatty tissue from another part of the body and adding it to the shaft of the penis to make it bigger. But this did not bring positive results. The adipose tissue is partially absorbed, and the penis looks uneven. "These penises look like pebbles, " Solomon said.

The new version of the technology implants allografts, that is, tissues transplanted from genetically different organisms for use in various types of reconstructive surgery. Solomon, the surgeon who performed these operations, and Brian J. Rosenthal, MD, a urologist who practiced in Beverly Hills agreed that allogeneic transplantation can provide longer and better results. We don't know how the donor tissue will behave after transplantation.

There are other types of penis enlargement surgery. For overweight patients, the fatty tissue at the base of the penis is removed by liposuction. Some doctors perform surgery to increase the length and thickness of the penis at the same time, others do it in stages.

Although Dr. Rosenthal predicted that penis enlargement surgery would be as widely used as breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Solomon disagreed. He believes that the main obstacle here is operating costs. The cost of penis lengthening surgery is about US$50-10, 000. The cost of thickening surgery is only for allografts, and the cost ranges from 5 to 7, 000, excluding the cost of the operation itself. Considering the work, the operation will cost you more than $20, 000.

Penis enlargement, risks and complications

Of course, before going to the operating table, it is important to consider possible risks. No reputable medical institution recommends this type of surgery for men with normal penis. The American Urological Association emphasizes that this type of surgery is not considered safe or effective.

Some studies in this area are not encouraging either. Therefore, a study conducted by the European Association of Urology on 42 penis enlargement surgeries showed that only 35% of patients were satisfied, and 50% of patients continued to seek further penis enlargement surgeries.

"I really had a nightmare, " O'Leary said, describing her experience of having to correct the consequences of a failed operation. Known complications include scars, infections, changes in normal erection angles, hypoesthesia, and impotence. In some cases, penis lengthening surgery may shorten the penis because the cut tissue grows to the pelvic floor and most of the penis eventually enters the body.

The surgeon who performed the operation claimed that the operation was generally successful and that serious complications were rare. "I have completed thousands, " Rosenthal said. "We are very advanced in improving the technology for performing surgery, and they can help patients. "

They are also tired of the argument that psychiatrists can help people undergoing this type of surgery. He said that surgery can allow men to better understand themselves. A woman who wants to increase breasts, because no one is crazy? So what is the difference?

O'Leary insists that there is a difference. Unlike breast augmentation surgery, no matter how we treat them, it has become part of medical practice. Penis enlargement surgery is not the case.

"If there are legal procedures for this type of transaction, there will be no problem, " O'Leary continued. "But there is no such approval process to ensure safety and effectiveness. "

Doctor-Perform penis enlargement surgery!

If you still want to find a legal way, don't despair. There is a penis enlargement method recommended by all doctors-weight loss. Yes, it doesn't sound serious, but it can help.

"Many of my patients complain of small penis and they are overweight, " Boyle said. Against the background of an obese body, a normal-sized penis looks smaller, hidden in the folds of fat. Therefore, losing weight visually makes the penis grow and enlarge.

Be cautious. Most penis enlargement methods are a waste of money. Surgery is expensive, risky and unexplored. In cancer, it makes sense to talk about experimental surgery, but that's not the case.

Look at it this way: the penis is a very fragile and sensitive organ. This makes him so extraordinary. It is worth considering very carefully before daring to add it. Is it worth the risk to turn a well-functioning penis of a normal size into a huge pornographic movie, and it may stop working as a result.
