Is penis enlargement surgery a vital necessity or a whim of an insecure man? According to statistics, the majority of men are not against enlarging this organ. And some attach so much importance to this aspect that dissatisfaction with the parameters of their organ leads to serious psychological disorders, for example, impotence. The average size of a male penis is between 12 and 16 cm; anything smaller is considered a deviation from the norm and may be an indicator for surgery. For reference: If the size of the organ is abnormally enlarged, penis reduction surgery is performed.
Anatomical options for penis enlargement
The peculiarity of the attachment of its soft tissues to the pubic bones allows you to change the size of the male genital organ. The operation is carried out using a special band that forms the connection between the erectile tissue of the penis and the base area. In some cases, partial dissection allows the penis to enlarge by several centimeters.
An indication for surgery on the penis may be that the organ is too small; sometimes its resting length can be no more than 2 cm. The patient's desire to change the shape and size of his manhood, especially if the initial parameters cause psychological discomfort, does not exclude plastic surgical interventions.
Basic techniques
It would be useful to mention additional methods since surgery is not the only way to enlarge the penis.
- Penis enlargement surgery. The essence is the partial crossing of the ligaments that hold the organ in the perineum. In this case there is no real increase as such, the member is simply decreasing.
- The technique, which does not require a surgical scalpel, involves wearing a special device - an extender. The method has proven itself, is quite safe compared to surgery and provides stable results regardless of the condition of the organ. The problem is that it has to be worn systematically for several months, which is not always practical. However, the increase in size is at least 3 cm without compromising the diameter and effectiveness.
- Combined method, i. e. H. First, an operation is performed, then wearing an extender is prescribed.
It is possible to undergo surgery to straighten the penis.
Operating methods
What is penis enlargement surgery? The most common technique is partial dissection of the ligaments holding the genital organ with the introduction of elements of skin grafting.
The latest thickening methods include the use of a so-called biological matrix, consisting of modern polymer materials that are implanted into the tissue.How does this happen?
It's easy. First, the skin is removed from the penis, then an artificial matrix up to 5 mm thick is applied to it, which over time grows into living tissue and becomes part of it. Full fusion takes about a year, but sexual activity may begin after two months.
Other thickening methods that involve implanting various biological and synthetic materials under the skin of the penis include:
- Implantation of silicone, biogel etc.
- The use of biological material (fat, muscle, flaps of skin) from the buttocks, groin, or abdomen.
Endoscopy in andrological surgery
The selection of the surgical technique directly depends on the ultimate goal of the event, namely the achievement of the necessary parameters, including length, diameter and bend. The operation plan is discussed by the doctor together with the patient based on the medical options and wishes of the man himself.
All possible visual viewing methods are used during endoscopic surgery. This includes both optical technology and video devices. The advantage of video assistance during endoscopic procedures is that no special liquid or gas has to be introduced into the working space. Local anesthesia can be used in this procedure if the patient has an individual intolerance to general anesthesia. An endoscope with built-in optics is inserted through a small incision, which provides the necessary visual overview. If the operation is successful, the patient can be discharged from the hospital within a few days.
The results can exceed all expectations - an increase of up to 6 cm is possible. The record was set in Scandinavia (from 2 cm to 19 cm). However, the average result is around 3 cm. The diameter usually corresponds to the length.
To improve and consolidate the result, it is strongly recommended to use an extender - a device that stretches the organ.
Of course, they must begin as early as possible after the surgeon's approval and performing special exercises is not excluded. The simplest techniques have long been developed for this purpose.
Possible complications
No matter how nice it all sounds, phalloplasty does not exclude possible unpleasant consequences:
- The wound may become infected during surgery.
- Concern about postoperative scars.
- Necrosis of transplanted biomaterials.
- Formation of fat pads on the penis.
- Over time, the implanted material may shrink and cause the organ to become smaller.
- Quite severe scars remain on the donor sites of the body.
The role of gender in overcoming psychological barriers
Sometimes, even after a successful operation, a man feels a certain shyness before contacting his partner, relying on previous stereotypes. He still feels like his cock isn't good enough to impress his partner. The problem was most likely not the size of the penis, but the pathological insecurity of its wearer. And it arises from lack of experience or simply from the fact that a person does not love himself or even despises himself. Such attitudes usually arise in childhood, but this is already the work of a psychotherapist, whom the man should have contacted before the operation.
In any case, to eliminate pathological insecurity, practice is required, and as much as possible. However, at this time, temporary impotence may occur against the background of psychological disorders. Here, doctors recommend the use of various herbs and medications that increase potency, relax and relieve tension. Phosphodiesterase drugs help a lot. These pills must be taken immediately before sexual intercourse, if possible without the partner's knowledge. Although similar products are available commercially and without a prescription, you should consult a specialist before using them, as unexpected allergic reactions may occur.
Many problems still lie in the human head and not in another organ. It's worth thinking about before you decide to take drastic measures.
