Penis enlargement, sometimes jokingly referred to as male enhancement, is a technique that involves increasing the volume, length and firmness of the male penis.
How to enlarge the penis
Procedures range from exercise to stretching devices and surgery, with success and failure reports from around the world. Some of these are outright scams, while others may be successful. Often, in the promotion of fraudulent products, the distinction between a temporary increase, i. e. a permanent increase, and a permanent increase is deliberately misleading.
A legitimate study was done specifically regarding penis enlargement; It turns out that any claims regarding a substantial and sustained increase are likely due to biased or unsystematic objective research, have not been verified, and may be on the side of interests and feelings. source contact. There is currently no evidence that there are non-surgical methods of continuously increasing both the thickness and the length of the normal penis. A joint study was performed on the safety and effectiveness (or lack thereof) of the ingredients of various pharmaceutical and semi-pharmaceutical preparations; but so far nothing has been found to compel traditional medicine to use them. There are also some inherently invasive procedures, with negative outcomes ranging from skin tearing and scarring to long-term loss of sexual function. Due to the speculative nature of any hope of "improvement" and the many known cases of chronic trauma associated with this endeavor, many experts are skeptical on the subject and tend to avoid the field.
Much of the commercial market for penis enlargement procedures is based on unverified claims that a large penis increases sexual power and attractiveness to potential mates.
Normal penis enlargement is different from finding relief from the well-known medical condition of microelene, in which surgery can intervene to increase the size of the organ for urination or sexual function. Penis size concerns can be (in severe cases) a psychological/mental condition that is best addressed with a qualified physician.
Penis lengthening surgery
There are several types of surgery, all of which carry similar risks of complications. The Second International Consultative Conference on Sexual Dysfunction concluded that most men would not want to undergo any surgery if they were fully informed of the consequences and the risk of complications. estimate.
Tablets and supplements
Penis enlargement pills, patches, ointments are heavily advertised online. Many products contain harmless substances, but many have not been tested for safety and side effects, and none have been scientifically proven to work.
Physical magnification methods
Many physical methods have been used to try to enlarge the penis of men. So far, none of them have been found to be effective. Techniques include stretching, lifting with light weights, and increasing blood flow and/or blood pressure in the penis. There is also considerable "duplication" between methods designed to enlarge the penis and methods designed to achieve different effects, specific problems, such as possible impotence. reversible, increase erection time, improve sexual orgasm, etc. v.
Penis pump
A penile pump is a cylinder located in the penis with a manual or self-contained pump that creates a partial vacuum around the penis that increases as blood flows there. As the vacuum increases, the pressure in the blood vessels of the penis increases; Excessive vacuum causes damage to blood vessels.
Inflating can be used to temporarily fix impotence, but by itself it does not cure the disease: a tourniquet must be used to keep blood inside the penis, or else the erection will stop. The pump can work even if nerves or vessels are affected, preventing a natural erection, but excessive or prolonged use (for several hours) causes long-term harm.
The pump must be used very carefully to avoid serious injury: if overheated, blood vessels can burst and blisters appear.
Kazem, Hosseini and Alizadeh studied the effectiveness of such pumps for permanent penis enlargement. They studied 37 men with penises less than 10 cm long and did not notice any significant change in penis length after six months of using the pump, although 30% of them were satisfied with the product. this method. The conclusion of the paper suggests that vacuum penile treatment is not an effective method to enlarge it, but it does provide psychological satisfaction for some men.
The pump has been used successfully to treat men with Peyronie's disease, which causes an abnormally short and curved penis. A study by the Department of Urology in London, in 31 men, showed "clinically and statistically significant improvement in penile length, curvature angle and pain sensation after 12 weeks of using the vacuum pump. "In this study, subjects with Peyronie's disease were pumped with water twice daily for 10 minutes for 12 weeks. The extra penis length, averaging 0. 5 cm, was a side effect found in about one-third of the subjects and was not the focus of the study.
Clip
Clamping is a very risky and dangerous method. The purpose of clamps is to increase the length of the penis by means of compression devices such as shoe laces, cable clamps, tightening rings, used to limit blood flow from organs. The device is securely attached to the base of the penis, allowing the man to engage in "climax" (prolonged masturbation). Metal rings are dangerous because blood in the penis becomes trapped, which can be the reason why it cannot be removed later without emergency assistance with amputation or a band saw. Clamps can cause permanent damage to the penis.
Hand exercises
Jelq
Jelqing is a method of physical therapy designed to achieve "natural penis enlargement" by increasing blood pressure and circulation. This is done by repeatedly stroking the penis in a tight squeezing motion from the base to the glans; Special devices have been created to achieve the same effect. This move is reminiscent of milking.
According to the BJUI article, the method has its roots in ancient Arabia; The Arabic word "milking" is sometimes considered the etymological root of the term, but this is a matter of controversy and the actual origin of the term becomes unclear.
Despite the unwarranted claims of effectiveness by proponents of this method, there are no medical opinions that confirm its effectiveness. Additionally, medical journalist Christopher Wanjek says that the claim that the procedure "will enlarge the penile hollows, which are filled with blood for the purpose of increasing erections, makes no biological sense. "
Although considered the safest of the "radical" penis enlargement methods, jelqing can cause blood vessel rupture, scar formation, pain, deformity, and desensitization of the penis.
Aesthetic method
Instead of changing the actual size of your penis, you can make it look bigger by removing pubic hair or simply by losing weight. Circumcision is also sometimes cited (in a humorous way) to make the penis more visible, both more and less.
