One of the most frequent queries on Google on a medical topic concerns 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 he keeps thinking about how to do something about it, this is a type of mental disorder. Experts refer to this condition as a syndromedysmorphophobia.
A man suffering from body dysmorphic disorder may feel anxious and depressed, and even become deeply depressed. During which he isolates himself from society with all his might, especially from women.
If you are of normal size, but you 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 is from 7 to 13 cm. When erect, it is from 12 to 20 cm.
A resting penis size of less than 6 cm and an erect size of less than 9 cm is defined as a micropenis. This pathology is diagnosed at birth.
What about sizes that are too big? Should we envy their owners?
The man with the largest penis is American actor and writer John Falcon. His penis in an erect state reaches 34. 3 cm. By the way, the impressive size of his manhood brings John a lot of inconvenience: it is difficult for him to find work - many companies do not want to hire an actor who has become famous in this way. Also, a man is often stopped at the airport for additional checks, mistaking the actor’s dignity for contraband.
What determines the size of the penis
First of all, the size of the penis depends on genetic data. An interesting fact is that the Y chromosome received from the father affects the fertility of the future man, and the maternal X chromosome determines the length and diameter of the penis. Also, several other factors influence the size of manhood:
- The amount of the androgen hormone in the mother's body during early pregnancy.
- The effect of some medications 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 in childhood and adolescence.
Is it possible to enlarge your penis and how to do it
Beware - scammers!
Currently, the Internet is replete with offers of means to enlarge the penis. Manufacturers of ointments, gels, tablets and creams vied with each other to tell how you can increase the length of your penis by purchasing their miracle product. All this is nothing more than a publicity stunt. Most of them can only increase blood flow and strengthen erections. But this effect is short-lived and ends immediately after the end of use of 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 come across a recipe on how to enlarge your penis with soda, stay away from such advice! The only thing you can get from such life hacks 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 tells how to enlarge the penis with a massage, which you can do yourself, by stretching, rotating and squeezing 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 carried out 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 that confirms the positive effects of jelqing. But it is quite possible to get a penis injury, erectile dysfunction or a real mental disorder without getting any results.
Vacuum pump
The principle of operation of the pump is based on creating negative pressure inside it, due to which there is an increase in blood flow to the capillaries and arteries of the penis. There are several types of pumps:
Manual with pear
The air is pumped out manually by pressing the bulb. The simplest and most inexpensive model.
Manual with pump
Instead of a bulb, a small pump is used for convenience and faster pumping of air.
Automatic pump
Powered by rechargeable batteries. Air is pumped out automatically.
Hydraulic pump
The penis is massaged using water, which fills the pump space. In this case, the liquid replaces the air and is also pumped out. More suitable for use in the bathroom.
The opinion of experts regarding the use of a pump is that it does more harm than good. The size of the penis does increase 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, hemorrhage and erectile dysfunction.
Extender
This is an orthopedic device, when worn, there is a slow physiological stretching of the tissues of the penis in length and width by 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 every day. The device consists of a ring that covers the base of the penis, a ring that secures the head, and a mount that measures the stretching of the organ. The stretch 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 functions of the extender:
- Dosed physiological stretching of tissues.
- Improves blood circulation.
- Growth stimulation.
- Increase in the size of the penis.
- The downside 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: loop and vacuum. This device is easier to wear, but it 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 as a result of the load, which provides 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. Biogels based on hyaluronic acid have proven themselves well 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 abilities. Filler based on hyaluronic acid is used to safely change the size of the penis, compensate for missing volume in those places where it is required, 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 for 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
Implants are installed between the skin and the shaft of the penis, causing it to thicken. This type of operation is reversible. Gel implants can be removed if necessary. To date, this method is considered experimental.
Ligamentotomy
Penis enlargement surgery is the only proven and effective method for correcting 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 does lingamentotomy occur?
During the operation, an incision is made in the ligament that attaches 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 takes about 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 in obtaining the desired result. The extender must 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 effort. There are no free and easy ways today. 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 sex 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.
