Is it possible to enlarge the penis?

Consult a doctor before penis enlargement

A study was done in which they tried to determine the ideal penis size for one-day and long-term intercourse from a woman's point of view.

The obtained results indicated that the average penis size for one appointment was 16. 2 cm in length and 12. 7 cm in diameter. For long-lasting sex, women prefer a penis with a length of 16 cm and a diameter of 12. 1 cm.

What determines the size of the penis?

The size of the penis is affected by a combination of genes (sex chromosomes) received from the parents at conception. Human sex chromosomes determine biological sex and secondary sex characteristics.

The Y chromosome, received from the father, affects the genes responsible for male genital development and fertility. The length and diameter of the penis depends on the X chromosome received from the mother. The X chromosome contains 900-1400 genes, while the Y chromosome contains only about 70-200 genes, which explains its influence on the development of the penis. Other factors that affect penis size:

the amount of androgens in the mother's body at the early stages of fetal development in the womb;
testosterone and growth hormone levels during puberty;
the effect on the body of chlorpyrifos penticides, polyfluoroalkyl substances, triclosan and bisphenol during fetal development;
Effects of environmental estrogens on the body during puberty.

The size of the penis also depends on the nutrition of the baby in the womb and during the first years of life. Malnutrition can lead to hormonal disturbances and slow growth of the entire body, including the penis.

How to determine penis size?

It is not necessary to determine the size of the penis in a calm state, as the length and diameter of the penis can change depending on external factors (for example, from cold weather, can reduce 50% in length and 20-30% in girth). It is necessary to measure the size of the penis in an erect state. To measure the length of the penis, people use a measuring tape cm, which measures the distance from the base of the penis to its tip.

A soft tape measure or an inextensible string can be used to measure the diameter of an erect penis. For accurate results, wrap a bandage or string around the thickest part of the penis. When using a ruler, you just need to look at the number you get when connecting the ends. Straighten the string and measure the distance from the mark to the end of the rope.

Average penis size

The size of the penis depends on the age of the man. A large spike in penis occurs in boys between the ages of 10 and 14. Average penis size by age:

10-11 years old - from 4, 1-7. 9 cm;
12 years old - from 5, 1 to 10, 2 cm;
13 years old - from 5. 1 to 12 cm;
14 years old - from 6. 1 to 13. 98 cm;
15 years old - from 7. 9 to 14. 99 cm;
16 years old - from 9. 9 to 14. 99 cm;
17 years old - from 9, 9 to 16 cm;
18 years old - from 10. 93 to 17 cm.

Penis size is considered normal if the penis is longer than 6 cm at rest and more than 9. 3 cm when erect. A smaller penis indicates a pathology (micropenis) that is usually diagnosed at birth.

The average penis size of men over 17 years old was surveyed by American medical professionals in 2014. The study involved 15, 521 men. Average penis size:

the length of the penis at rest - 9. 16 cm;
circumference of the penis at rest - 9. 31 cm;
the length of the erect penis - 13, 12 cm;
The circumference of the erect penis is 11. 66 cm.

The presence of micropenis or the desire to enlarge the anatomically normal size of the penis is an indication for penile lengthening surgery. Before lengthening the penis, it is necessary to consult a surgeon.

Ways to Enlarge Your Penis

Penis enlargement methods vary depending on the part of the penis the patient wants to enlarge. The tip of the penis can be enlarged without surgery by the introduction of a gel based on hyaluronic acid. The contour of the penis allows for a short-term effect (the head of the penis increases by a year and a half to two years).

You can increase the thickness of the penis by using the filler method. During the surgery, the patient's fatty tissue is injected under the skin of the penis. Filler injections increase the width of the penis by up to one centimeter.

Various methods are used to enlarge the penis surgically. Methods to enlarge the penis:

Ligamentectomy (penis elongation occurs by making an incision in the supporting ligaments that attach the penis to the pubic bone);
prosthetics (prosthesis made to enlarge the penis).

If there is an indication to enlarge the penis according to the diameter, then muscle tissue transplantation can also be performed. This manipulation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis by up to three to four centimeters.

Penile lengthening technique is selected by the surgeon for preliminary consultation depending on the patient's needs, indications and contraindications.

How to enlarge your penis with exercises

No studies have been conducted that confirm the effectiveness of exercise in permanently enlarging the penis. Penile stretching exercises can lead to bruising, damage to blood vessels, redness, numbness, and swelling in the penis area. Enlargement of the penis during exercise can also lead to an inability to maintain an erection.

How is penis enlargement surgery performed?

Before surgery in the evening and morning before surgery, the patient should refuse food, and two hours before surgery - from water. Penile enlargement surgery is performed under intravenous anaesthesia.

During penile lengthening surgery, the doctor makes an incision in the ligament connecting the pubic and penis and releases the inside of the penis. After removing the hidden outer part, the doctor fixed it in the desired position. The surgery took up to half an hour.

The temporary effects of penis enlargement can be pain, mild swelling and bruising in the penis area. If needed, the surgeon can prescribe pain medication for several days.

Ligament cutting or shaping?

To enlarge the penis, a hysterectomy or dilation of the foreskin is performed. Reconstruction is performed only when strictly indicated (if micropenis are present, if the penis is damaged by trauma, after sex reassignment surgery).

Unlike ligamentectomy, blepharoplasty can have negative consequences. Possible complications of blepharoplasty:

damage to the rectum or bladder;
died from a displaced wing;
pelvic bleeding;
need long-term drainage (a device that collects blood and fluid from a wound).

After surgery, scars may appear, and there may be reduced mobility and sensitivity in the penile area. When comparing possible risks and complications, a ligamentectomy is the best option.
