Everyone knows that no pump, pill or exercise will enlarge the penis, or will it?
"I'm always asked that, " says Michael, a urologist at Harvard Medical School and the Women's Clinic in Boston. "Men are willing to do anything to enlarge their penis. " But is it real?
Not really. "It's completely nonsense, " O'Leary repeated wearily. In the end, if it were so simple, every man would have a 30-centimeter penis for a long time.
But common sense still doesn't stop everyone. Thanks to our constant desire to improve ourselves, penis enlargement ads are everywhere. Illegally sold penis enlargement pills are advertised on television. Such announcements are constantly emailed to you without your consent. In the United States, more than 10, 000 men have undergone more surgery, perhaps more than the controversial penis enlargement.
But don't rush to get the money and take off your pants. We have reviewed all the fake methods of penis enlargement and are ready to share them with you.
Can my penis grow?
First, even if you are sure that you have a small penis, in fact, it can be strangely normal size. The average size of an erectile penis is 10-15 centimeters.
The length of a non-erect penis can vary. But this means that if you see someone in the locker room with an impressive size penis, it is unlikely that it will grow even more in an upright position, and conversely, a small-looking penis can grow significantly.
Second, if you continue to think that you still have a small penis, even if the ruler says otherwise, then you can diagnose yourself in the field of psychiatry: a dysmorphic disorder associated with your penis. This diagnosis is close to a distorted perception of anorexia in the body, even if it is painfully subtle, when a person continues to feel obese. According to one study, most men who undergo penis enlargement have the disease. They are dissatisfied with their size after the operation.
Karen Elizabeth Boyle, an assistant professor of urology at the Johns Hopkins Reproductive Medicine and Surgery Clinic in Baltimore, says men with normal penis size who believe they are smaller benefit more from a psychiatrist than a surgeon.
Pumps, pills, mountain goat tinctures and other penis enlargement nonsense
Well, reasonable advice from experts is enough. Here's a brief summary of how you didn't enlarge your penis.
Vacuum pump. This is a classic penis enlargement device. Place your penis in a cylinder connected to an air pump. With the help of a vacuum, more blood enters the penis, thus erecting and enlarging it. Then you squeeze your penis with a ring like a tourniquet to prevent blood from flowing back.
These pumps are used in medicine to treat sexual dysfunction. But the effect of an enlarged penis passes quickly. After removing the ring, the penis will return to its normal size.
Potential risks include temporary impotence, abscesses, bruising, damage to blood vessels, and loss of skin color and thinning. The ring is worn for a maximum of 20-30 minutes, after which tissue damage may begin.
Exercises, weights and other devices. First, remember: don't stretch your penis too much with exercises like biceps. It's not a muscle. However, some devices and types of stimulation allegedly lengthen the skin and lengthen the penis itself.
One of the most popular examples is a set of jelqing, pulling and milking exercises. Of course, this method has a "ancient" (read "fake") history: the website is about ancient Arabic techniques passed down from father to son. Details are promised to be announced after the transfer. However, exercises with a jelqing system require a large investment of time, which is 30-60 minutes of daily active penis retreat. And the real difficulty is that these exercises should be done on a penis that is not erect. So you need discipline, lots of free time and a locked door.
Another way to enlarge the penis is to put a special device on the penis that stretches it, sometimes it is necessary to wear this device for 8 hours a day, using weights. "For some reason, they sent me something like a medieval torture instrument, " O'Leary said.
Does one of these methods work? Boyle says no. O'Leary says very carefully, they can stretch the skin. But without any effect on the size of the penis. At the same time, these methods require inhumane efforts. Risks include tissue damage, rupture of blood vessels and other problems. O'Leary recently saw a patient wearing heavy weights on an erect penis and tearing his tissue. The result is unbearable pain and surgery.
Tablets, supplements and creams. Complete nonsense. Without exception. Most are made with yohimba, ginseng and, of course, mountain goat grass. There are no cases of penis enlargement with their help.
Surgical penis enlargement
Unlike most penis enlargement methods, surgery can be effective. Even critics admit it. Of course, there are risks, and the results may not be as impressive as you'd expect. A study published in European Urology in 2006 found that the average length added surgically was less than 2. 5 cm. Plastic surgeon Mark P. Solomon says the results are modest but somewhat better than before the operation.
There are two main types of penis enlargement surgery:
- Penis extension.The penis is connected to the pelvic region using strong cords called support ligaments. They are connected to the penis and hide part of it inside the body. Surgical removal of these ligaments relieves tension and theoretically the penis is more visible. You may need to wear a weight or traction device every day for six months to prevent the ligaments from healing again.
- Penis thickening.Initially, the procedure consisted of removing adipose tissue from another part of the body and attaching it to the shaft of the penis, making it more massive. However, this did not work. The adipose tissue was partially absorbed and the penis looked rough. "These penises looked like stones, " says Solomon.
A new version of this technique implants allograft tissue, a genetically different organism used in many types of reconstructive surgery. The surgeons who perform these surgeries, Brian J. Rosenthal, a urologist working in Solomon and Beverly Hills, agree that allograft is longer and gives better results. We do not know how the donor tissue will behave after the transplant.
There are other types of penis enlargement surgery. In overweight patients, liposuction removes adipose tissue under the genitals. Some doctors perform surgeries to increase the length and thickness of the penis at the same time, while others do it in stages.
Dr. Although Rosenthal predicted that penis augmentation would be as widely used as breast augmentation, Dr. Solomon disagrees. He believes that the main obstacle here is the rising cost of the operation. Penis lengthening surgery costs about 5-10 thousand dollars. The thickening operation, except for the cost of the operation itself, costs only 5-7 thousand for an allograft. Considering the case, the operation will cost you more than $ 20, 000.
Penis enlargement, risks and complications
Of course, you need to think about the possible risks before going to the operating table. No reputable medical organization recommends such operations on men with normal penises. The American Urological Association emphasizes that such operations are not considered safe and effective.
A number of studies in this area are also unsatisfactory. Thus, a study conducted by the European Urological Association in 42 cases of surgical penis enlargement showed that only 35% of patients were satisfied, and 50% continued to seek further penis enlargement surgery.
"I've seen real nightmares, " O'Leary said, describing times when he had to correct the consequences of failed operations. Known complications include scarring, infection, changes in normal erection angle, decreased sensitivity, and impotence. In some cases, penis lengthening can shorten the penis as the cut tissue grows to the base of the pelvis and most of the penis enters the body.
Surgeons claim that surgeries are generally successful and that serious complications are rare. "I've done thousands of these things, " says Rosenthal. "
They are also tired of arguing that a psychiatrist can help people undergoing such surgeries. The operation allows the man to understand himself better, he says. A woman who wants to enlarge her breasts because no one says she's crazy? So what is the difference?
O'Leary insists there is a difference. Unlike breast augmentation surgeries, no matter how we treat them, penis augmentation surgeries have become part of the medical practice.
"If there was a legal procedure for such operations, there would be no problem, " O'Leary continued. "But there is no such approved procedure that will guarantee safety and effectiveness. "
Doctor - Schedule penis enlargement surgery!
If you are still hoping to find a legal way, don't despair. There is a method for penis enlargement recommended by all doctors - to lose weight. Yes, it doesn't sound serious, but it can help.
"Most of my patients who complained of small penises were overweight, " Boyle said. Normal-sized penises, hidden in layers of fat, appear smaller in the background of a fat body. Therefore, losing weight will visually make the penis longer and bigger.
Be discreet. Most penis enlargement methods are a waste of money. Surgery is an expensive, risky and unexplored operation. It makes sense to talk about experimental surgery in cancer, but it's not.
Look like this: the penis is a very delicate and sensitive organ. And this makes it unusual. It is worth thinking very carefully before you dare to increase it. Is it worth the risk of turning a well-functioning normal-sized penis into a giant porn movie, which can eventually stop its activity.
