Every man is probably interested in ways to change the size of the penis. A lot of advice is given on various medical and "amateur" forums, ranging from the use of all kinds of creams and ointments to exercises and even serious operations.
Be that as it may, penis enlargement is an extremely delicate issue, and every man himself determines the appropriate methods for solving such a problem.
Plastic surgeons offer a radical way to change the size and volume of the penis. However, such an intervention is associated with certain difficulties. The point is the anatomy of the penis, which significantly increases the risk of complications during such a procedure.
The structure of the penis consists of several main structural units. These are two erectile tissues located on the sides and a sponge-like body that surrounds the outside of the urethra. These bodies are cavities that are divided into smaller gaps by partitions made of thin connective tissue. Thanks to this structure, they quickly fill with blood, resulting in an erection.
The internal tissue of the penis is permeated by blood vessels and the skin is covered with a large number of nerve receptors, the majority of which are concentrated in the glans area. Therefore, in order to change the shape and size of the penis, you should categorically avoid the "old-fashioned" methods.
Therefore, doctors categorically advise against self-injecting Synthol, various solutions used in cosmetology, and performing other similar procedures. These manipulations are fraught with extremely serious complications, including septic blood poisoning.
When a man visits a doctor with a question about the possibility of correcting penis size, doctors usually suggest surgical intervention.
Today there are several types of penis enlargement operations:
- ligamentotomy;
- penile prosthetics;
- lipofilling;
- Transplantation of your own muscle tissue.
Ligamentotomy is one of the most common surgical methods for penis lengthening. The essence of the operation is to excise the tendon ligament that is attached to the bony structures of the pelvis on one side and helps hold the penis on the other. The procedure releases a part of the organ that is hidden in the body (approx. 3 to 5 cm).
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts between 40 minutes and an hour. The rehabilitation time is approximately 3-4 weeks. During this period, the patient is recommended to constantly wear an extender. Of course, regular dressing changes and compliance with all medical recommendations are necessary.
Such an operation has a number of advantages. The procedure does not affect nerve endings, large blood vessels or muscles. This minimizes the risk of possible complications. The cost of the procedure varies depending on the choice of clinic, the specifics of the preparatory period and the rehabilitation period. Ultimately, the operation can cost $170 to $200 in a public clinic and up to $1, 000 in a private hospital.
The most complex surgical procedure is penile prosthesis. It is usually carried out according to strict medical indications (congenital structural features of the sexual organs, traumatic amputation, impotence, etc. ). During the procedure, an implant made of hypoallergenic plastic or silicone is inserted into the internal tissue of the penis.
The cost of such a device can reach ten thousand dollars, but the appearance of the penis will hardly differ from the real one. Added to the price of the implant is the surgery itself, which can cost an additional $3, 000 to $5, 000.
Penile prosthetics is characterized by a very long rehabilitation period, which requires constant medical supervision, taking a number of medications and complete abstinence from sexual activity. Accordingly, the risk of side effects increases.
A gentler option for correcting the shape of the penis is injections of so-called fillers. Such techniques are aimed not only at lengthening the penis, but also at increasing its volume. Fillers can be either synthetic hyaluronic acid or the patient's own fat cells. Lipofilling is a little more expensive, but also causes fewer complications. However, the result of such an intervention does not last long. On average, the size of the penis changes by 1-1. 5 cm, but the fillers dissolve within a few months.
Sometimes patients are offered a so-called muscle transplant. This is a fairly complicated plastic surgery in which the penis is enlarged using the body's own muscle tissue, which is roughly wrapped around the outer covering of the penis. In this way you can increase the size of the penis by 3-4 cm. This surgical procedure is classified as traumatic and is characterized by a long recovery period (up to 2 months). Such manipulation will cost about $4, 000 to $5, 000.
Of course, operations to change the length of the penis have a number of contraindications.
They will therefore not be carried out if:
- poor blood clotting;
- at an early age (up to 18-21 years);
- Infections of the urinary system and epidermal covering of the penis (regardless of etiology);
- autoimmune diseases;
- severe damage to the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, liver and kidneys;
- some chronic pathologies.
In addition, it is not advisable to carry out the operation if there are hormonal imbalances (at least until the functioning of the endocrine system is normalized). In some cases, the surgeon recommends that the patient first see a psychologist. The fact is that most representatives of the stronger sex have a penis length of no more than 15 cm.
Therefore, if the height of the man in a state of excitement "fits" into the generally accepted 12-16 cm, you need to think carefully about the advisability of such a serious surgical intervention.
Such an operation can cause a number of complications:
- loss of sensitivity of nerve endings;
- secondary bacterial infection;
- scarring;
- bleeding;
- reduced potency.
You may need to try simpler and safer methods first, such as: For example, do some exercises at home, use attachments or stretch tissues with special devices (extenders and vacuum pumps that work on the principle of a compression-distraction device). Good results are also observed when applying various medications to the skin of the penis and using folk remedies (especially taking soda).
Sometimes the problem isn't that the penis is too short or too thin. Sometimes a man suffers from erectile dysfunction, which can be successfully corrected with the help of special pills.
How to enlarge your penis: topical products
A relatively safe way to enlarge the penis are various ointments, creams and gels.
They can contain a variety of components, the main ones being:
- enzymes;
- Amino acids;
- vitamins;
- synthetic and herbal ingredients.
This combination provides the biological effect of such drugs, which is as follows:
- strengthening the wall of the blood vessels of the penis;
- Increase in metabolic rate in cells and tissues;
- Activation of blood flow in the vessels of the penis;
- increased sensitivity of nerve endings in the skin of the penis.
This combination of biological effects ensures increased erection and prolongation of sexual intercourse. According to the manufacturers of such products, regular use for several weeks helps to solve the problem of penis enlargement. But in practice the results are not so rosy. In fact, the size of the penis increases, but with the combined use of a cream or spray with exercises, gymnastics and the use of extenders.
The use of such preparations is as follows: the required amount of cream is squeezed onto the index finger or sprayed onto the skin of the penis (when using a spray) and distributed evenly in a thin layer along the entire length of the penis. The procedure is repeated twice a day - in the morning and in the evening after carrying out the usual hygiene measures. Do not wash off the product and wait until it is completely absorbed into the skin. If necessary, blot the residue with a paper towel.
The advantage of such funds is the lack of a systemic effect. The drugs act directly in the area of application, so there are practically no contraindications to their use. However, if you are prone to allergic reactions and have an individual intolerance to the components of the cream or spray, it is better to avoid using it. In addition, the use of such drugs must be temporarily stopped if a rash, dermatosis or damage to the skin of the penis occurs.
To solve the problem of how to enlarge the penis, it is recommended to use the following means:
- a cream containing amino acids (L-arginine and glycine), magnesium and guarana extract, due to which the product has a positive effect on the length and volume of the penis;
- Spray based on vitamins, minerals, pectins and essential oils. Manufacturers of the spray guarantee penis enlargement of up to 35% within 1-1. 5 months after use;
- A product containing betaine, arginine and other amino acids can be sprayed on the penile skin twice a day and applied just before sexual intercourse; it not only helps to lengthen the penis but also improves erections.
As a rule, taking such medications is not accompanied by any complications. In individual cases itching, rash and burning occur. This indicates the development of an allergic reaction. In this case, the product must be washed off the skin under running water and replaced with another cream or spray.
The forums recommend applying anticoagulant ointment to the skin, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. However, due to the high risk of side effects, this medication should be used with extreme caution.
Increasing penis volume: use of alternative medicine, exercises and massage, various devices
Using various folk remedies, it is possible to prevent the development of erectile dysfunction, improve potency and libido, and increase the effectiveness of other penis enlargement methods.
It is recommended to take ready-made pharmaceutical preparations orally based on:
- Buckeye;
- Ginkgo biloba;
- Ginseng;
- Echinacea purpurea;
- Rhodiola rosea.
Extracts of these plants are contained in ready-made tablets and tinctures. They are taken according to the instructions for several months. You can add thyme, linden flowers, lemon, raspberries and currants to tea. The use of wormwood infusion also has good results. To do this, pour two glasses of boiling water over a teaspoon of plant seeds, let it steep for 2 hours and filter. The resulting drink is divided into three equal parts and taken three times a day before meals.
Hirudotherapy is also useful. When a leech attaches to the skin, it releases dozens of unique biologically active substances into the bloodstream. They are placed on the lumbar region, pubic bone, inner thighs and other reflex points determined by the hirudotherapist after examining the patient.
Using a set of exercises that combine stretching and massage movements, it is quite possible to increase the volume and length of the penis. The most common and effective technique is jelqing. Such gymnastics helps to increase not only the length, but also the thickness of the genital organ by the desired centimeters.
The essence of this technique is as follows. The base of the penis is firmly grasped with the thumb and index finger. Then move your hand firmly down towards your head without releasing it. To make it easier to glide over the skin, you can apply a lubricant to the penis before the exercise.
The movements should be rhythmic, the movement of the fingers from the base to the head should last about 3-4 minutes, then the hand is changed. You should start with a small number of repetitions, and then increase the number of movements to 200 (one hundred with each hand).
By using certain devices, more tangible results can be achieved. The most popular are extenders that are designed to stretch the tissues of the penis. Modern modifications are more expensive, but more convenient to use, designed for prolonged wear throughout the day and do not cause discomfort or pain.
All extenders are attached to the base of the penis, but differ in the type of attachment in the glans area. Modified devices securely cover the head, eliminating complications.
Vacuum pumps are easier to use. The action of such devices is based on creating a vacuum in the penis area, which stimulates strong blood flow and metabolic processes in the tissues. They are slightly cheaper than extenders, but less effective. More often they are used to improve erections.
An almost 100% increase in penis volume is only possible through surgical intervention. However, this procedure is quite traumatic and can cause a number of side effects. Therefore, if there are no serious problems, doctors recommend starting with exercises and extenders. If there is no effect, contact a plastic surgeon.
