There are many rumors and fictional legends surrounding the male penis, but it should be understood that from a physiological point of view, the normal length of the penis is between 12 and 18 cm when erect.
Effective penis enlargement is possible not only surgically, but also through various methods that do not require surgical intervention on the male body. These include:
- The use of vacuum pumps promotes strong blood flow to the male penis. After achieving a stable erection, the penis is compressed at the base with all kinds of devices, for example latex rings. This technique prevents the flow of blood from the corpora cavernosa of the penis and its length increases by several centimeters compared to a normal physiological erection without various aids. However, it should be remembered 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 instantly returns to its usual size. Note that the disadvantage of using pumps can be swelling of the organ, the presence of hematomas due to rupture of blood vessels, as well as impaired erectile function of the penis.
- The use of all kinds of "special" weights, devices and exercises aimed at penis enlargement is nothing more than advertising campaigns of dubious manufacturers that produce "effective" devices that guarantee instant results. The male sexual organ cannot be inflated or stretched using weights or dumbbells. Their use can cause injury to the organ or cause tears in the ligaments that hold the penis together. "Stretching" of the penis can be carried out only after surgical treatment under the supervision of an attending specialist using special extenders (combined method of enlargement). Such devices can be used without surgical intervention. Their efficiency is quite high.
Advice:To avoid wasting money and subsequent disappointments, you should not buy all sorts of creams for external use and other "healing" drugs intended to increase the size of the penis. They carry no therapeutic load and are completely ineffective.
Ways to change the thickness
There are several basic methods to increase the diameter of your penis. This includes surgical, conservative, that is, non-surgical methods, folk remedies and special exercises.
Surgical methods
To achieve a guaranteed increase in penis volume, surgery is usually performed.
There are 2 main ways to thicken the body of the male organ. This:
- lipofilling. The essence of this operation is that fatty tissue taken from the subcutaneous folds of 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 larger. First, the material is taken from humans in those places most rich in adipose tissue. The resulting material is cleaned of foreign elements so that only grease remains. It is drawn into a syringe, microscopic cannulas are connected to it and injected under the skin of the genital organ. The duration of the operation is approximately one hour. The recovery period lasts about a month. An important advantage of lipofilling is that thickening the penis in this way does not cause a reaction of rejection of the injected material. The result obtained lasts a lifetime. Thanks to lipofilling, the penis adds 1 to 1. 5 cm of volume;
- microsurgical muscle transplantation. This is a more complex operation. In this case, the thickening of the genital organ occurs due to the transplantation of a section of muscle tissue under the skin of the reproductive organ. Most often it comes from the gluteal region. The tissue is wrapped around the organ. This increases the width of the penis by 3 to 4 cm. Muscle transplantation takes several hours and requires 2 to 3 months of recovery;
- implantation of balls. The essence of the manipulation consists in implanting balls made of hypoallergenic materials under the skin of the penis. This allows you to increase it in certain areas. In this case, the man must take into account the risk of complications: development of the inflammatory process and rejection of injected materials;
- injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin of the penis. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide produced in the body's tissues and cartilage. It’s natural for the body, so it’s not rejected. To thicken the penis, special filler gels containing hyaluron are used. These are Restylane, Auro Secret, Macroline. The procedure lasts 30 to 60 minutes. Hyaluron injections do not thicken the male reproductive organ forever: the effect generally lasts 8 to 12 months.
Indications for rapid resolution of the problem
Indications for quick resolution of the problem are:
- congenital or acquired pathologies of the reproductive system;
- dysfunction of sexual function due to dissatisfaction with the volume of the organ;
- inability to obtain pleasure during sexual intercourse.
To make the male organ thicker, you must first consult a doctor.
Non-surgical methods
Penis enlargement can be achieved without surgery. We are talking about the use of special devices, the use of folk remedies and performing special exercises.
Penis thickening with an extender
An extender is a device generally used to increase the length of the penis, but it can also be used for thickening purposes.
This device stretches the tissues of the phallus, causing micro-tears to form on them. Subsequently, 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 to 3 centimeters.
You need to wear the device for several hours a day - from 3 to 5. At night, the extender must be removed, since an erection during sleep can damage the organ.
Folk recipes
Increasing the thickness of the penis can be achieved using the following folk remedies:
- infusion of ginseng roots. Take 20 g of ground ginseng root and pour 200 ml of 70% alcohol. Leave in a dark place and let it infuse for a week. Take 20 to 30 drops every day half an hour before meals;
- homemade ointment to increase the diameter of the penis. It is necessary to take 100 g of dried leeches, mix with 200 g of melted lamb fat, mix well. Rub the ointment into the skin of the penis every evening before going to bed;
- thyme infusion. To prepare, take 100 g of dry plant, pour a glass of boiling water. Leave to infuse for 30 minutes. Take fresh, 2 to 3 tablespoons, twice a day after meals.
Before you start using folk remedies, you should consult a specialist: even natural ingredients can cause allergies.
Penis enlargement using a vacuum pump
Another way to effectively increase the width of your penis is to use a Penimaster vacuum pump. This is a device with a transparent bulb and a device that pumps air from it.
To increase the volume, place the penis in the bottle and, gradually pumping out the air, create a low pressure zone around it.
In such conditions, blood circulation increases, the tissues of the penis swell and stretch slightly, enlarge. New settings are only saved if you use the device constantly.
Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy may be justified if the length of the penis does not exceed 10 cm when erect.
This operation aims to enlarge the male reproductive organ by cutting and then fixing the pelvic ligament, responsible for holding the penis in place. Using this method, doctors manage to free about 3 to 5 cm from the inside of the penis. Previously, similar surgical techniques were performed with circumcision of the foreskin of the penis in men. Modern methods make it possible to avoid this and preserve it with a parallel increase in the reproductive organ.
Ligamentotomy is considered a simple operation (not as complex as amputation of a penis) and takes about half an hour. It should be noted that when the reproductive organ is enlarged, surgery on the testicles in men can be carried out in parallel (for example, if pathologies are detected, surgery on varicocele can be prescribed), however, the feasibility of such an intervention can only be determined by the attending physician. After penile plastic surgery, the patient can stay in the urology department for about a day. Two weeks after the ligamentotomy, the sutures are removed.
Advice:To avoid divergence of surgical sutures on the penis, it is recommended to abstain from sexual relations after ligamentotomy for up to 3 weeks.
Surgical thickening2
Some doctors offer a procedure in which the patient's own fat or a similar artificial substance is injected into the patient's penis. These are sterilized tissues taken from a donor’s skin. It is wrapped under the skin of the penis (like sushi wrapped in seaweed), thereby increasing the girth of the organ.
By the way, artificial material was not initially intended for such manipulations. This substance is used to treat burns and in reconstructive surgery, not to enlarge the male reproductive organ. The medical literature reports complications such as infections and skin necrosis.
Is it possible to increase the thickness of the penis?
It is necessary to abstain from sexual intercourse for 4-5 weeks so as not to damage the penis
Increasing the thickness of the male reproductive organ is possible. To do this, a minimally traumatic operation is carried out: the skin of the penis is pierced with a special instrument to introduce the patient's fatty tissue or a special gel. After that, a protective bandage is applied to the penis.
Note that this operation can lead to the localization of adipose tissue in a certain place of the penis, which leads to irregularities and tuberosity of the organ. To avoid complications and tissue inflammation, various polymer penile prostheses are used to increase the thickness of the penis, giving an aesthetic appearance to the organ and not affecting the deterioration in the quality of its functionality.
Non-surgical methods
Non-surgical correction methods are also useful for men who want to make their penis thicker. They are considered safer than surgery. Another advantage of the methods is the possibility of implementing them at home.
Features of the postoperative period
The most effective way to lengthen the penis is considered to be a combined technique, which involves the use of an extender after surgery and the use of jelqing (performing special massages so that the reproductive organ changes its length). Let's look at the features of these methods:
- Using an expander after surgery can significantly improve the organ enlargement effect. In addition, this device allows you to correct your curvature and restore the correct anatomical position. The younger the patient, the more noticeable the effect of using the combined method.
- As for jelqing, this massage technique should be performed after surgical lengthening of the organ for 2-3 months every day for at least 1 hour per day. Massage manipulations on the penis are performed by the patient with hands while the organ is erect and consist of stretching it. Jelqing increases blood supply to the penis and increases its size.
Before deciding to take such a drastic measure as increasing the volume of the penis through surgery, you should think about the fact that, despite its effectiveness, no specialist will be able to predict the final result. Possible postoperative complications include scarring of penile tissue 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, since its original anatomical position is disrupted, or even the development of impotence (extremely rare).
No more than a third of all patients are satisfied with the result of surgical enlargement of the male reproductive organ. As practice shows, an organ can be lengthened by 1-4 cm and no practicing surgeon can give exact guarantees.
Massage and exercise
The goal of exercises and massages of the genital organ is to expand the corpora cavernosa. During excitement, their size increases, adapting to the influx 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 visible after treatment. If necessary, after a short break, repeated sessions are organized.
Exercises should 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 exercise 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 of them, the organ is fixed for 10 seconds.
- Holding your fingers firmly at the base of the penis, you need to move towards the head and squeeze it even harder for a few seconds. This exercise is repeated at least 10 times.
- Using your index finger and thumb, massage the base of the penis, carefully stretching the skin. Little by little, the movements turn into tapping and pinching.
Extender
An extender is a modern device designed to stretch the penis using a special load. The total duration of wearing the extender is 2 months. Wearing it for a prolonged period can be harmful to health because it puts pressure on the genital organ.
The process of penis stretching increases tissue elasticity and stimulates cell growth. When the organ is erect, swelling occurs due to blood flow.
The effect is achieved through constant stretching of the tissues of the penis, which leads to their growth and, as a result, a change in volume.
This helps to increase its volume. On average, the monthly increase in parameters is 5 ml. After 2 months of wearing the device, the penis increases by 1 cm, the maximum possible result (subject to prolonged use of the extender) is 4 cm.
The effectiveness of the procedure is influenced by the following factors:
- Regularity of installation of the device. To achieve the desired effect, it must be worn daily.
- Hormonal status. If the problem is caused by a lack of testosterone, wearing an extender will be useless.
- The original structure of the organ.
- The age of man. At an older age, it is more difficult to change anatomical data than at a young age.
Extensions can be looped, vacuum, with elastic and vacuum adhesive belts.
Vacuum pump
The action of a vacuum pump is based on alternating pressure on the genital organ. A pump is a device consisting of a penis bulb and a lever for air supply.
We suggest you familiarize yourself with: Joint at the base of the penis
After placing the penis in the bottle, negative pressure is applied, which stimulates blood flow to the pelvic organs. As a result, congestion is eliminated.
With regular use, a vacuum pump increases penis volume at home.
Thanks to its use, erection problems are eliminated and the thickness of the penis increases. The negative aspects include the preservation of the short-term result.
When choosing a pump, it is recommended to pay attention to its composition. The most suitable material would be hypoallergenic. The desire to save money in this case is inappropriate. The parts of the device must be strong and resistant to wear.
Ointments and creams
The main advantage of creams and ointments for thickening the penis is the method of local use. Active components do not enter the circulatory system. Therefore, side effects develop in rare cases.
After applying such products, an irritating effect appears. It improves blood circulation, promoting blood flow to the reproductive organ.
The active components are plant extracts and exotic substances. The effect of using topical products is almost immediate. They are applied immediately before sexual intercourse. The penis becomes larger, the erection improves and the man's endurance increases.
The disadvantages of creams and ointments include a short-lasting effect. It does not last more than 1-2 days. Before use, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the list of contraindications and the possibility of side effects. Among them are an allergic reaction to the constituent components.
An integrated approach will help increase penis size. The effect will be more visible by combining several techniques at once.
Surgery and other methods
The most effective way to enlarge the penis is surgical
Penis thickening methods at home 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 increase. The downside is the high risk of complications and the overall traumatic nature of the procedure.
An alternative method is to inject hyaluronic acid in gel form. Using a syringe, the doctor injects along the entire length of the penis, evenly injecting a small amount of gel. It fills the soft structures of the penis and stretches them slightly, resulting in an increase in volume of approximately 1 to 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 penis thickness?
If the penis is large, this provides additional stimulation during sex
Before you understand how to increase the thickness of your penis, you need to determine whether a man needs it. The normal penis circumference is 10 to 15 cm. According to statistics, most men have a penis of 13 to 16 cm in length and about 12 cm in volume.
The large circumference of the genital organ provides:
- better stimulation of the vaginal opening,
- tighter circumference of the penis by the vaginal walls,
- better erection control,
- sharp sensations during orgasm.
If a woman's vagina squeezes the penis tightly, the man feels additional stimulation along the entire length of the penis. This increases the sensitivity of the head and improves the sensations during orgasm.
It has been proven that women achieve orgasm by stimulating the first five centimeters of the vaginal entrance. A large penis creates an effect of fullness, which increases female arousal and lubrication production. As a result, a woman reaches orgasm more quickly.
It is important to understand that a large penis thickness is not a prerequisite for satisfying a woman. Many women claim to experience the same pleasure with partners whose penises have different thicknesses.
How to do tightening?
Clamping is a new technique in which the erect penis is clamped at the base with a special ring or clamp. The procedure thickens the penis volume and improves erection through increased blood flow. To carry out tightening, only special erectile rings are used. You cannot use other improvised objects, as they will damage the skin of the penis.
Before using the ring, you should inspect it carefully to ensure that there is no damage. It is also recommended to pre-treat it with lubricant. This will reduce the risk of discomfort when using the ring.Experts recommend carrying out clamping immediately before sexual intercourse, as this procedure has a short-term effect.
Surgical methods
To increase the girth of the penis, some use more radical methods, including surgery. An operation to change the size of the reproductive organ is carried out only when all other methods have failed.
The main advantage of this method is its high efficiency, which allows you to achieve excellent results. The disadvantages of the method include:
- complexity of the procedure,
- high probability of complications,
- long postoperative convalescence.
Today, various surgical methods are used to increase the width of the organ.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is the most common surgical method to thicken the reproductive organ. The essence of the procedure is to transplant the patient's adipose tissue into the subcutaneous integument of the phallus.
Muscle tissue transplant
To increase the thickness of the reproductive organ, a muscle tissue graft is often performed. This thickens the penis by 3 to 4 cm. One of the differences between this procedure and lipofilling is the recovery period, which lasts approximately 7 months.
Addition of cartilaginous tissue
To increase penis size, cartilage tissue is sometimes implanted into the penis. This procedure is very complicated, because during its implementation all tissues of the reproductive organ are separated. It is recommended to use this method if you not only need to add volume to 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,
- decreased sensitivity of the head,
- the appearance of scars,
- weakening of erection,
- rejection of transplanted tissues.
In addition, many consider the main disadvantage to be the recovery period, which lasts about a year.
Implantation of balls
Increasingly, to increase the girth, men are turning to specialists to implant small balls under the skin of the phallus. These products are made from absolutely safe hypoallergenic materials. To place the balls, they seek help from body modifiers or regular surgeons who specialize in such operations.
With the help of balls, the width of the penis increases only in certain areas. However, even this is enough for additional stimulation of the partner's vaginal walls.
Once the balls are implanted under the skin, certain restrictions regarding sexual relations appear. For example, it is not allowed for sexual intercourse to last too long, as this will cause severe irritation to the skin.
Which doctor should I contact?
Before using medicinal and folk methods of penis enlargement, it is recommended to consult a urologist.
If, after exercises and workouts that enlarge the penis, no results are noticeable, and the use of extenders and pumps is unacceptable for a man, it is recommended not to self-medicate, but to consult a doctor. It is necessary to consult a urologist (andrologist) to learn about other options for increasing penis size. If the doctor finds an urgent need for surgical intervention, he will offer the patient several options for solving the problem.
