Does everyone know that no pump, pill or exercise will make your penis bigger or not?
"I’m always asked that, " says Michael, MD, a urologist at Harvard Medical Institute and Women’s Clinic in Boston. "Men are willing to do anything for a penis enlargement. "But is it real?
Not really. "That's stupid, " O'Leary repeats wearily. Finally, if it were that simple, every man would have had a 30-centimeter penis long ago.
But common sense still doesn’t stop everyone. Thanks to our ongoing commitment to self-improvement, penis enlargement ads can be found everywhere. Penis enlargement pills sold illegally are advertised on television. We will continue to email you such advertisements without your consent. In the United States, more than 10, 000 men, possibly many more, have undergone more than controversial penis enlargement surgery.
But don’t rush to get money and let go of your pants. We have reviewed the fraudulent methods of penis enlargement and are ready to share it with you.
Can my penis grow?
First of all, even if you yourself are sure your penis is small, it can be oddly normal in size. The average size of an erect penis is 10 to 15 centimeters.
The length of a non-erectile penis can vary. However, this means that if you notice in the locker room that someone has a penis of impressive size, it is unlikely that your erection will be much larger, and conversely, a penis that looks small can grow significantly.
Second, if you still think your penis is small, even if the ruler says otherwise, you may be diagnosing yourself in the field of psychiatry: a dysmorphic disorder related to your penis. This diagnosis is close to the distorted perception of anarchy in the body when a person still feels fat, even when he is painfully thin. According to one study, most men who have had penis enlargement have this disorder. They are still dissatisfied with their size after surgery.
"Men whose penis size is normal and who think they are small are more likely to be treated by psychiatrists than surgeons, " says Karen Elizabeth Boyle, MD, an assistant professor of urology at Johns Hopkins Department of Reproductive Medicine and Surgery in Baltimore.
Pumps, pills, mountain goat herbal tinctures and other penis enlargement nonsense
Well, enough of the reasonable advice of the experts. Here’s a quick summary of penis enlargement if you haven’t already.
Air pump. This is a classic penis enlargement tool. Place your penis in a cylinder connected to an air pump. The vacuum allows more blood to enter the penis, making it stand up and getting bigger. Then squeeze the penis with a ring like a vasoconstrictor to prevent blood from flowing back.
These pumps are used in medicine to treat sexual disorders. But the effects of an enlarged penis go away quickly. After removing the ring, the penis returns to its normal size.
Potential risks include temporary impotence, abscesses, bruises, damage to the blood vessels, and the skin losing its natural color and thinning. The ring is worn for a maximum of 20-30 minutes, after which tissue damage may begin.
Exercises, dumbbells and other tools. First, remember: you can’t stretch your penis with exercises like biceps. It's not muscle. However, some devices and types of stimulation are said to lengthen the skin and lengthen the penis itself.
One famous example is jelqing, a series of pulling milking exercises. This method, of course, has a history of "ancient" (meaning "fake"): the website talks about an ancient Arabic technique that passed from father to son. Details are promised after the money is transferred. However, jelqing exercises require a lot of time, which is 30-60 minutes of active penile retraction. And the real difficulty is that these exercises do not have to be done on an erect penis. So you need self-discipline, a lot of free time and a lockable door.
Another way to enlarge the penis is to wear a special device on the penis that stretches it, sometimes to wear it 8 hours a day, with weights. "Somehow they sent me one, " O’Leary says, "it looked like a medieval torture device.
Does any of the methods work? Boyle says no. O’Leary says very carefully that maybe they can stretch the skin. But without any effect on penis size. In addition, these methods require inhumane diligence. Risks include tissue damage, rupture of blood vessels, and other problems. O'Leary recently saw a patient carrying heavy weights on a stiff penis and damaged it due to a tissue rupture. The result is unbearable pain and surgery.
Pills, supplements and creams. Total stupidity. Without exception. Most are made with yohimba, ginseng and of course mountain goat grass. They did not register any penis enlargement with their help.
Surgical enlargement of the penis
Unlike most penis enlargement methods, surgery can be effective. Which even critics admit. Of course, there are risks, and the results may not be as impressive as he hopes. A 2006 study published in the journal European Urology found that the average length added with surgery was less than 2. 5 cm. Mark P. Solomon, MD, a plastic surgeon, notes that the results are modest but slightly better than before surgery.
There are two main types of penis enlargement surgeries:
- Penis extension.The penis is attached to the pelvis with strong cords called support straps. They are attached to the penis and a part of it is hidden in the body. Surgical cutting of these ligaments relieves tension and theoretically most of the penis becomes visible. To prevent the strips from healing again, you may need to wear dumbbells or tensioners daily for six months.
- Thickening of the penis.Initially, the procedure consisted of removing adipose tissue from another part of the body and adding it to the stem of the penis, making it more massive. But this did not bring positive results. The adipose tissue was partially absorbed and the penis looked bumpy. "These penises looked like cobblestones, " Solomon says.
A new version of this technique implants an allograft, a tissue transplanted from a genetically different organism that is used in a variety of restorative surgeries. Surgeons performing these surgeries, Solomon and Brian J. Rosenthal, MD, a urologist practicing in Beverly Hills, agree that allograft yields longer and better results. We do not know how the donor tissue will behave after the transplant.
There are other types of penis enlargement surgeries. In overweight patients, the adipose tissue at the base of the penis is removed by liposuction. Some doctors do it to increase the length and thickness of the penis at the same time, others do it intermittently.
While Dr. Rosenthal predicts that penis enlargement surgery is as widespread as breast augmentation, Dr. Solomon disagrees. He believes that the main obstacle here is the cost of the operation. Penis extension surgery costs about 5-10 thousand dollars. While thickening surgery costs 5-7 thousand for allograft alone, not counting the cost of the surgery itself. Considering the work, the operation will cost more than $ 20, 000.
Penis enlargement, risks and complications
Of course, before you go to the operating table, it’s worth thinking about the potential risks. No reputable medical organization recommends such surgeries for men with normal penises. The American Urological Association stresses that such surgeries are not recognized as safe or effective.
Numerous studies in this area are also not encouraging. Thus, a study of 42 cases of surgical penis enlargement by the European Urological Association found that only 35% of patients were satisfied and 50% continued to seek further penis enlargement surgeries.
"I had true nightmares, " O'Leary says, describing times when he had to correct the consequences of unsuccessful surgeries. Known complications include scarring, infection, a change in normal erection angle, decreased perception, and impotence. penis lengthening surgery can shorten the penis as the incised tissue grows to the pelvic floor and most of the penis gets inside the body.
Surgeons who perform surgery say that surgeries are usually successful and that serious complications are rare. "I’ve done thousands of things like this, " Rosenthal says. "We’re pretty advanced in developing techniques for performing surgeries and helping patients. "
They are also fed up with the controversy that a psychiatrist can help people who have undergone such surgeries. The surgery will allow the man to feel better, he says. A woman who wants to increase her breasts because no one calls her crazy? So what's the difference?
O'Leary insists there is a difference. Unlike breast augmentation surgeries, no matter how we treat them, but which have become part of medical practice, penis enlargement surgeries are not.
"If there was a legal process for such transactions, there would be no problem, " O’Leary continues. "But there is no such approved procedure that would guarantee security and efficiency. "
Doctor - prescribe penis enlargement surgery!
If you are still hoping to find a legal way, don’t despair. There is a method of penis enlargement that every doctor recommends - weight loss. Yes, it doesn’t sound serious, but it can help.
"Many of my patients who complained of small penis were overweight, " says Boyle. A normal-sized penis appears smaller in the background of an obese body and hides in fat folds.
Be discreet. Most penis enlargement methods are a waste of money. Surgery is expensive, risky and unexplored. In the case of cancer, it makes sense to talk about experimental surgery, but this is not the case.
Look like this: the penis is a very delicate and sensitive organ. And that makes him so extraordinary. It is worth thinking carefully before we dare to increase. Is it worth the risk to turn a normal-sized, well-functioning penis into a huge porn movie that could come to a halt as a result?
