There are a lot of rumors and fictional legends about the male penis, but it should be understood that physiologically, the normal length of the penis in an erect state is between 12 and 18 cm.
Effective enlargement of the penis is possible not only surgically, but also with various methods that do not require surgical intervention in the male body. These include:
- The use of vacuum pumps allows significant blood flow in the male penis. After achieving a stable erection, the penis is compressed at the base with all kinds of devices, such as latex rings. This technique prevents the outflow of blood from the corpora cavernosa of the penis and increases its length by several centimeters compared to a normal physiological erection without various aids. However, it should not be forgotten that the use of vacuum pumps is not a therapeutic method, but is based on the physiological characteristics of the male body. After stopping the use of vacuum devices, the penis immediately returns to its usual size. Note that the disadvantages of using pumps may be the swelling of the organ, the presence of hematomas due to the rupture of blood vessels, as well as the impairment of the erectile function of the penis.
- The use of all kinds of weights, devices and "special" exercises aimed at enlarging the penis are nothing more than advertising campaigns by dubious manufacturers who produce "effective" devices that guarantee immediate results. The male genital organ cannot be pumped up or stretched with weights or barbells. Their use can cause damage to the organ or tear in the ligaments that hold the penis. The "stretching" of the penis can only be done after surgical treatment, under the supervision of a treating physician, with special extenders (combined enlargement method). Such devices can be used without surgery. Their efficiency is quite high.
Advice:In order to avoid wasting money and later disappointments, do not buy all kinds of creams for external use and other "healing" drugs aimed at increasing the size of the penis. They do not carry any therapeutic load and are completely ineffective.
Ways to change the thickness
There are several basic methods to increase the diameter of the penis. This includes surgical intervention, conservative, i. e. non-surgical methods, folk remedies and special exercises.
Surgical methods
In order to guarantee an increase in the volume of the penis, surgery is usually performed.
There are 2 main ways of thickening the body of the male organ. This:
- lipofilling. The essence of this operation is that fat tissue taken from subcutaneous folds in other parts of the body is injected into the penis. The literal translation of the name of the operation is "fat filling". The circumference of the penis becomes more voluminous. First, they take material from the person from places that are the richest in adipose tissue. The resulting material is cleaned of foreign elements so that only fat remains. It is sucked into a syringe, and microscopic cannulas are attached to it. , and is injected under the skin of the genital organ. The duration of the operation is about an hour. The recovery period lasts about a month. An important advantage of lipofilling is that the thickening of the penis in this way does not cause rejection of the injected substance. The achieved result lasts a lifetimewith the help of lipofilling, the penis increases in volume by 1-1. 5 cm;
- microsurgical muscle transplantation. This is a more complex operation. In this case, the thickening of the genital organ occurs due to the transplantation of part of the muscle tissue under the skin of the reproductive organ. It most often originates from the gluteal region. The tissue is wrapped around the organ. This makes it possible to increase the width of the penis by 3-4 cm. Muscle transplantation takes several hours and requires 2-3 months of recovery;
- planting balls. The essence of the manipulation is that balls made of hypoallergenic materials are implanted under the skin of the penis. This makes it possible to increase it in certain areas. In this case, the man must take into account the risk of complications: the development of the inflammatory process and the rejection of the injected substances;
- hyaluronic acid injection under the skin of the penis. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that is produced in the tissues and cells of the body. This is natural for the body, so it does not reject it. Special filler gels containing hyaluronic acid are used to thicken the penis. These are Restylane, Auro Secret, Macroline. The procedure takes 30-60 minutes. Hyaluronic injections do not thicken the male genital organ forever: the effect usually lasts for 8-12 months.
Indications for immediate resolution of the problem
Indications for an immediate solution to this problem are as follows:
- congenital or acquired pathologies of the reproductive system;
- dysfunction of sexual function due to dissatisfaction with the volume of the organ;
- inability to get pleasure during sexual intercourse.
In order for the male organ to be thicker, you must first consult a doctor.
Non-surgical methods
Increasing the volume of the penis can also be achieved without surgery. We are talking about the use of special tools, the use of folk remedies, and the performance of special exercises.
Penis enlargement with an extension
An extender is a device that is usually used to increase the length of the penis, but it can also be used to thicken it.
This device stretches the tissues of the phallus, causing micro-tears to form on them. After that, they form scars, due to which the penis becomes much larger.
Any type of extender can be used to thicken the penis.
Such devices increase the width of the penis by 2-3 centimeters.
The device must be worn for several hours a day - from 3 to 5. At night, the extender must be removed, as an erection during sleep can cause damage to the organ.
Folk recipes
Increasing the thickness of the penis can be achieved with the following folk remedies:
- infusion of ginseng roots. Take 20 g of ground ginseng root and pour 200 ml of 70% alcohol. Leave it in a dark place and let it brew for a week. Take 20-30 drops every day half an hour before meals;
- homemade ointment to increase the diameter of the penis. 100 g of dried leech should be taken, mixed with 200 g of melted lamb fat, mixed thoroughly. Rub the ointment into the skin of the penis every night before going to bed;
- thyme infusion. To prepare it, take 100 g of dry plant, pour a glass of boiling water. Let it cook for 30 minutes. Chilled, 2-3 tablespoons, 2 times a day after meals.
Before you start using folk remedies, consult a specialist: even natural ingredients can cause allergies.
Penis enlargement with a vacuum pump
Another way to effectively increase the width of the penis is to use the Penimaster vacuum pump. It is a device with a transparent bulb that pumps air out of it.
To increase the volume, place the penis in the flask and gradually pump out the air, creating an area of low pressure around it.
Under these conditions, the blood circulation increases, the tissues of the penis swell slightly and become elongated and enlarged. The new parameters are only saved if you use the device continuously.
Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is justified if the length of the penis in erection does not exceed 10 cm
The purpose of this operation is to enlarge the male genital organ by cutting and then fixing the pelvic ligament responsible for supporting the penis. Thanks to this method, doctors manage to free about 3-5 cm from the inside of the penis. In the past, similar surgical techniques were performed in men by circumcising the foreskin of the penis. Modern methods make it possible to avoid this and preserve it with the parallel growth of the reproductive organ.
A ligamentotomy is considered a simple operation (not as complicated as a penile amputation) and takes about half an hour. It should be noted that in the case of enlargement of the reproductive organ, surgery on the testicles of men can be performed in parallel (for example, if pathologies are detected, varicocele surgery is prescribed), however, the feasibility of such an intervention is determined only by the attending physician. After peniloplasty, the patient may stay in the urology department for about a day. The sutures are removed two weeks after the ligamentotomy.
Advice:In order to avoid deviation of the surgical sutures of the penis, it is recommended to refrain from sexual relations for a maximum of 3 weeks after the ligamentotomy.
Surgical thickening2
Some doctors recommend a procedure in which the patient's own fat or a similar artificial substance is injected into the patient's penis. This is sterilized tissue collected from the donor's skin. It is wrapped under the skin of the penis (like wrapping sushi in seaweed), thereby increasing the circumference of the organ.
By the way, artificial materials were not originally intended for such manipulations. This material is used to treat burns and reconstructive surgery, not to enlarge the male genitalia. Complications such as infection and skin necrosis are reported in the medical literature.
Is it possible to increase the thickness of the penis?
You must refrain from intercourse for 4-5 weeks in order not to damage the penis
It is possible to increase the thickness of the male reproductive organ. For this, a low-traumatic surgery is performed: the skin of the penis is pierced with a special instrument to introduce the patient's own fat tissue or a special gel. After it is performed, a protective bandage is placed on the penis.
Note that this operation can lead to the localization of adipose tissue in a certain place of the penis, which leads to unevenness and lumpiness of the organ. In order to avoid complications and tissue inflammation, various polymer penile prostheses are used to increase the thickness of the penis, which provide the organ with an aesthetic appearance and do not affect the quality of functionality.
Non-surgical methods
Non-surgical correction methods are also useful for men who want to make their penis thicker. It is considered safer than surgery. Another advantage of the methods is that they can also be used at home.
Characteristics of the postoperative period
The most effective way to lengthen the penis is the combined technique, which includes the use of a post-surgery extender and the use of jelqing (special massages for the reproductive organ to change its length). Let's look at the characteristics of these methods:
- The use of an extender after surgery can significantly improve the effect of organ enlargement. In addition, this device helps to correct your curvature and restore the correct anatomical position. The younger the patient, the more noticeable the use of the combined method.
- As for the jelqing, this massage technique should be performed every day for 2-3 months, at least 1 hour a day, after the surgical lengthening of the organ. The penis is massaged by the patient's hand when the organ is erect, and involves stretching it. Jelqing increases blood supply to the penis and increases its size.
Before you decide on such a drastic step as increasing the volume of the penis with surgery, consider that despite its effectiveness, no professional can predict the final result. Possible postoperative complications include penile tissue scarring and infection. In addition, a decrease in the sensitivity of the organ often occurs, a change in the position of the penis during erection is possible, as its original anatomical position is damaged, and even the development of impotence (extremely rare).
Up to one third of patients are satisfied with the result of surgical enlargement of the male genital organ. Practice shows that an organ can be lengthened by 1-4 cm, but no practicing surgeon can give an exact guarantee.
Massage and exercise
Exercises and genital massage are aimed at expanding the corpora cavernosa. During excitement, their size increases, adapting to the rush of blood. The greater the capacity of the bodies, the wider the thickness of the genital organ.
The result of manual manipulation of the penis becomes noticeable after the treatment. If necessary, repeated sessions are held after a short break.
The exercises must be performed using a special technique. Its violation leads to organ damage. The effectiveness of the exercises depends on the regularity of the penis enlargement exercises. The load during training should increase over time.
The most common and effective exercises are:
- You need to stretch your penis forward as much as possible and then tilt it in different directions. In each, the organ is recorded for 10 seconds.
- Keeping your fingers firmly at the base of the penis, you should move towards the head and squeeze even harder for a few seconds. This exercise is repeated at least 10 times.
- Massage the base of the penis with your index finger and thumb, gently stretching the skin. Gradually, the movements change to caressing and pinching.
Extender
The extender is a modern device designed to stretch the penis with a special load. The total wearing time of the extension is 2 months. Wearing it for a longer period of time can be harmful to your health, as it puts pressure on the genitals.
The process of stretching the penis increases tissue elasticity and stimulates cell growth. When the organ is erect, swelling occurs due to blood flow.
The effect is caused by the continuous stretching of the tissues of the penis, which leads to their growth and, as a result, a change in volume.
This will help increase the volume. The monthly increase in parameters is on average 5 ml. After wearing the device for 2 months, the penis grows by 1 cm. The maximum possible result (depending on the long-term use of the extender) is 4 cm.
The effectiveness of the procedure is influenced by the following factors:
- Regularity of placing the device. To achieve the desired effect, it must be worn daily.
- Hormonal condition. If the problem is caused by a lack of testosterone, then wearing an extender will be useless.
- The original structure of the organ.
- The man's age. It is more difficult to change anatomical data at a more mature age than at a young age.
Extensions can be looped, vacuum, with elastic belt and vacuum adhesive.
Air pump
The operation of the vacuum pump is based on alternating pressure on the genital organ. The pump is a device that consists of a penile bulb and an air supply arm.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following: Seal at the base of the penis
After placing the penis in the flask, negative pressure is applied, which stimulates blood flow to the pelvic organs. Thanks to this, congestion is eliminated.
With regular use, the vacuum pump increases the volume of the penis at home.
Thanks to its use, erection problems disappear and the thickness of the penis increases. The negative aspects include the short-term preservation of the result.
When choosing a pump, it is recommended to pay attention to what it is made of. The most suitable material is hypoallergenic. The desire to save money is inappropriate in this case. The components of the device must be strong and wear-resistant.
Ointments and creams
The main advantage of creams and ointments for penis thickening is local use. The active components do not enter the circulatory system. Therefore, in rare cases, side effects develop.
An irritating effect occurs after using such products. Improves blood circulation, promotes blood supply to the genitals.
The active ingredients are plant extracts and exotic substances. The effect of using local products is almost immediate. It is applied immediately before sexual intercourse. The penis becomes larger, the erection improves, and the man's stamina increases.
The disadvantages of creams and ointments include their short-term effect. It doesn't take more than 1-2 days. Before use, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the list of contraindications and the possibility of side effects. These include an allergic reaction to the ingredients.
An integrated approach helps to increase the size of the penis. The effect will be more noticeable if you combine several techniques at once.
Surgery and other methods
The most effective way to enlarge the penis is surgery
Home penis enlargement methods are ineffective, so surgery remains the best way to enlarge the penis. If it is necessary to increase the volume, a ligamentotomy is used. During the procedure, the length and volume of the penis increases. The disadvantage is the high risk of complications and the general traumatic nature of the procedure.
An alternative method is the injection of hyaluronic acid in the form of a gel. The doctor injects the entire length of the penis with a syringe, injecting a small amount of gel evenly. It fills the soft structures of the penis and slightly stretches them, which increases the volume by about 1-4 cm depending on the original dimensions. The effect of the injection lasts for about a year, after which the procedure can be repeated.
What affects the thickness of the penis?
If the penis is wide, it provides additional stimulation during intercourse
Before you understand how to increase the thickness of your penis, you need to find out if a man needs it. The normal circumference of the penis is 10-15 cm. According to statistics, the length of most men's penis is 13-16 cm, and its volume is about 12 cm.
The large circumference of the genital organ ensures:
- better stimulation of the vaginal opening,
- the narrower circumference of the penis than the walls of the vagina,
- better erectile control,
- vivid sensations during orgasm.
If a woman's vagina is tightly grasped by the penis, the man feels additional stimulation along the entire length of the penis. It increases the sensitivity of the head and improves sensations during orgasm.
It has been proven that women get an orgasm from the first five centimeters of stimulation from the entrance of the vagina. A large penis creates a fullness effect, which increases female arousal and the production of ointments. As a result, a woman reaches orgasm faster.
It is important to understand that a large penis is not a prerequisite for a woman's satisfaction. Many women claim that they enjoy the same pleasure with partners whose penises differ in thickness.
How to record?
Clamping is a new technique in which the erect penis is attached to the base with a special ring or clamp. The procedure thickens the volume of the penis and improves erection due to increased blood flow. Only special stiffening rings are used for fastening. You can not use other improvised objects, as they damage the skin of the penis.
Before using the ring, carefully inspect it for damage. We also recommend treating it with a lubricant beforehand. This reduces the likelihood of discomfort while using the ring.Experts recommend squeezing right before intercourse, as this procedure has a short-term effect.
Surgical methods
To increase the girth of the penis, some people use more radical methods, including surgery. The operation to change the size of the reproductive organ is performed only when all other methods have failed.
The main advantage of this method is its high efficiency, which allows you to achieve excellent results. Disadvantages of this method include:
- the complexity of the procedure,
- high probability of complications,
- long recovery after surgery.
Today, various surgical methods are used to increase the width of the organ.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is the most common surgical method of thickening the reproductive organ. The essence of the procedure is that the patient's fat tissue is transplanted into the subcutaneous tissue of the phallus.
Muscle tissue transplantation
In order to increase the thickness of the reproductive organ, muscle tissue transplantation is often performed. This allows the penis to be 3-4 cm thicker. One difference between this procedure and lipofilling is the recovery period, which lasts about 7 months.
Adding cartilage tissue
Cartilage tissue is sometimes implanted into the penis to increase the volume of the penis. This procedure is very complicated because during its execution all the tissues of the reproductive organ are separated. We recommend that you use this method if you need to not only increase the volume of the penis, but also correct its shape. The main disadvantage of the operation is the complexity of its implementation, which sometimes leads to the following complications:
- inflammatory processes,
- reduced sensitivity of the head,
- the appearance of scars,
- weakening of the erection,
- rejection of transplanted tissues.
In addition, many people consider the recovery period, which lasts about a year, to be the main disadvantage.
Planting balls
In order to increase the girth, guys are increasingly turning to specialists to implant small balls under the skin of the phallus. Such products are made of hypoallergenic materials, which are completely safe. Body modifiers or regular surgeons who specialize in such operations are asked to help place the bullets.
Using balls increases the width of the penis only in certain areas. However, even this is enough to further stimulate the partner's vaginal wall.
After the balls are implanted under the skin, certain restrictions appear in sexual life. For example, too long sexual intercourse is not allowed, as this causes the skin to become very chafed.
Which doctor should I see?
Before using medical and traditional methods of penis enlargement, it is recommended to consult a urologist
If there are no noticeable results after penis enlargement exercises and training, and the use of extenders and pumps is unacceptable for a man, it is not recommended to self-medicate, but to consult a doctor. It is necessary to consult a urologist (andrologist) about other options for increasing penis size. If the doctor sees an urgent need for surgery, he offers the patient several options to solve the problem.
