Penis enlargement, sometimes amusingly called 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 can be successful. Often in advertising for fraudulent products, the distinction between a temporary increase, that is, an erection, and a permanent increase is deliberately skewed.
Legitimate research has been conducted specifically on penis enlargement; where it emerged that any claims relating to a significant and steady increase can be attributed to biased or unsystematic objective research, unverified and can be on the side of the interests and emotions of the source. There is currently no evidence that non-surgical methods exist that continuously increase both the thickness and length of the normal penis. A general study was conducted on the safety and efficacy (or lack thereof) of the ingredients of various pharmaceutical and semi-pharmaceutical preparations; but so far, nothing has been found to force traditional medicine to use them. There is also an intrinsic to some invasive procedures, the negative results of which range from skin tears and scarring to long-term loss of sexual function. Due to the speculative nature of any hope of "improvement" and the numerous known cases of chronic trauma involved in this attempt, many practitioners are skeptical of the subject and tend to avoid this area.
Much of the commercial market for penis enlargement procedures is based on unverified claims that a big dick increases sexual prowess and attractiveness for a potential partner.
Enlargement of a normal penis differs from seeking relief from the well-known medical condition of microhelene, where surgery can intervene to increase the size of the organ for urination or sexual function. Concern about penis size can be (in extreme cases) a psychological / psychiatric condition that is best treated with qualified doctors.
Penis enlargement surgery
There are several types of surgery, each of which carries the risk of similar complications. The Second International Consultation on Sexual Dysfunction concluded that most men will not want to undergo any surgery if they are properly informed about the approximate consequences and risks of complications.
Tablets and supplements
Pills, patches, penis enlargement ointments are commonly advertised on the Internet. Many products contain harmless substances, but there are many products that have not been tested for safety and side effects at all, and no products have been scientifically proven to be effective.
Physical methods of magnification
A variety of physical methods have been used in an attempt to enlarge the male penis. To date, none of them have been found to be effective. Techniques include stretching, light weight lifting, and increasing blood flow and / or blood pressure in the penis. There is also a significant "overlap" between methods designed to enlarge the penis and methods designed to achieve a different effect, specific problems, such as reversible impotence, increased erection duration, improved sexual orgasm and etc.
Penis pump
A penis pump is a cylinder located in the penis that has a manual or self-contained pump that creates a partial vacuum around the penis that increases as blood flows there. When the vacuum increases, the pressure in the blood vessels of the penis increases; excessive vacuum causes vascular damage.
Pumps can be used to temporarily overcome the symptoms of impotence, but they do not cure the disease itself - ring-shaped tourniquets must be used to keep blood trapped inside the penis, otherwise the erection will die out. Pumps can also work when nerves or vessels are affected, which prevents a natural erection, but excessive or prolonged use (for several hours) will cause long-term damage.
Pumps must be used very carefully to avoid serious injury: if overly enthusiastic, blood vessels can burst and blisters may appear.
Kazem, Hosseini and Alizadeh studied the effectiveness of such pumps for permanent penis enlargement. They studied 37 men whose penises were less than 10 centimeters long and did not notice any significant change in penis length after six months of using the pumps, although 30% of them were satisfied with the method. The conclusion of the article suggests that vacuum penis treatment is not an effective method of enlarging it, but it does provide some psychological satisfaction for some men.
Pumps have been used successfully in the treatment of men with Peyronie's disease, which causes unusual shortening and curvature of the penis. A study of 31 men by the Department of Urology in London found "a clinical and statistically significant improvement in penile length, curvature angle and pain after 12 weeks of using the vacuum pump. "In this study, subjects with Peyronie's disease were pumped twice a day for ten minutes for 12 weeks. The extra penis length, an average of 0. 5 centimeters, was a side effect seen in about a third of the subjects and was not the focus of the study.
Clamp
Blocking is a very risky and dangerous method. The purpose of the clamp is to increase the length of the penis by using compression devices such as a shoelace, a strain relief, a tight ring, used to restrict the flow of blood from the organs. The device is firmly attached to the base of the penis and the man is engaged in "promotion" (prolonged masturbation). The metal ring is dangerous because the blood in the penis is blocked, this could be the reason for the impossibility of a subsequent removal of the ring without emergency assistance through amputation or sawing of the ring. Locking can cause catastrophic long-term damage to the penis.
Exercises for the hands
Jelq
Jelqing is a physical therapy method designed to achieve "natural penis enlargement" by increasing blood pressure and circulation. This is done by repeatedly stroking the penis with a squeezing motion from the base to the glans; special devices have been created to achieve the same effect. This movement resembles milking.
According to the BJUI article, the method is of ancient Arab origin; the Arabic word for "milk" is sometimes claimed as the etymological root of the term, but this is a controversial issue and the actual origin of the term becomes unclear.
Despite the unfounded claims of the method's advocates on efficacy, there is no medical opinion confirming its efficacy. Additionally, medical journalist Christopher Wanjek said the claim that the method "enlarges the penile cavities, which are filled with blood meant to increase erections, makes no biological sense. "
Although considered the safest of all "radical" methods of penis enlargement, jelqing can cause blood vessels to rupture, scarring, pain, disfigurement and desensitization of the penis.
Cosmetic methods
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 mentioned (in a humorous way) to make the penis appear more visible, both more and less.
