Is it possible to enlarge the penis?

Consult a doctor before enlarging the penis

A study was conducted in which they tried to determine the ideal penis size for a one-day relationship and a long-term relationship in the opinion of women.

The results obtained showed that the average penis size for one meeting was 16. 2 cm in length and 12. 7 cm in diameter. For a long relationship, women preferred a penis 16 cm long and 12. 1 cm in diameter.

What determines the size of the penis?

Penis size is influenced by a combination of genes (sex chromosomes) inherited from parents at birth. The human sex chromosome determines biological sex and secondary sexual characteristics.

The Y chromosome inherited from the father influences the genes responsible for the development and fertility of the male genitals. The length and diameter of the penis depend on the X chromosome received from the mother. The X chromosome contains 900-1400 genes, while the Y chromosome contains only 70-200 genes, which explains its impact on penile development. Other factors that affect penis size:

The amount of androgen hormone in the mother in the early stages of intrauterine development of the fetus;
Testosterone and growth hormone levels during puberty;
The effect of chlorpyrifos penticides, polifluoroalkyl substances, triclosan and bisphenol on the body during fetal development;
Influence 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 the first years of life. Infertility can lead to hormonal disruption and slowing of the development of the whole body, including the penis.

How to determine the size of the penis?

It is not necessary to determine the size of the penis at rest, as the length and diameter of the penis can vary according to external factors (for example, from the cold the penis can shrink by 50% in length and by 20% -30% in a circle). It is necessary to measure the size of the penis in the erect position. To measure the length of the penis, a centimeter tape is used to measure the distance from the base of the penis to the end of its tip.

A soft measuring tape or a non-stretch rope can be used to measure the diameter of an erect penis. For an accurate result, wrap a ribbon or rope around the thickest part of your penis. When using a measuring tape, you just need to observe the number you get when connecting the ends. Using a rope, straighten and measure the distance from the mark to the end of the rope in centimeters.

The average size of the penis

The size of the penis depends on the age of the man. A large increase in penis growth occurs in boys aged 10 to 14 years. Average penis size by age:

10-11 years - 4, from 1 to 7. 9 cm;
12 years - 5, 1 to 10, 2 cm;
13 years old - 5, from 1 to 12 cm;
14 years old - 6, 1 to 13, 98 cm;
15 years - 7, 9 to 14, 99 cm;
16 years old - 9, 9 to 14, 99 cm;
17 years old - 9, 9 to 16 cm;
18 years old - 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 during erection. The small penis indicates a pathology (micropenis) that is usually diagnosed at birth.

The average penis size in men over the age of 17 was surveyed by American medical professionals in 2014. 15, 521 men participated in the study. Average penis sizes:

Length of the penis at rest - 9, 16 cm;
Penis circle at rest - 9, 31 cm;
Length of erect penis - 13, 12 cm;
Erection penis circle 11, 66 cm.

The presence of a micropenis or a desire to enlarge the anatomically normal size of the penis is an indication for penis enlargement surgery. It is necessary to consult a surgeon before enlarging the penis.

Ways to enlarge the penis

Methods of penis enlargement vary according to the part of the penis that the patient wants to enlarge. It is possible to enlarge the head of the penis without surgery by introducing a gel based on hyaluronic acid. Contouring the penis allows for a short-term effect (the head of the penis grows from a year and a half to two years).

You can increase the thickness of the penis by using lipofilling. During the procedure, the patient's fatty tissue is inserted under the skin of the penis. Lipofilling makes it possible to increase the width of the penis up to one cm.

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

Ligamentotomy (penis lengthening is performed with an incisional ligament incision that attaches the penis to the pelvic bone);
Phalloplasty (prosthesis is done to enlarge the penis).

If there is evidence of an increase in the diameter of the penis, it is also possible to transplant muscle tissue. The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis from three to four cm.

The technique of penis enlargement is chosen by the surgeon during the preliminary consultation according to the patient's needs, indications for surgery and contraindications.

How To Enlarge Penis Exercises

None of the studies conducted confirm the effectiveness of exercise for permanent enlargement of the penis. Penis stretching exercises can cause bruising, damage to blood vessels, redness, numbness and swelling around the penis. Penis enlargement with exercise can also lead to an inability to maintain an erection.

How is penis enlargement surgery performed?

Prior to ligamentotomy in the evening and in the morning before surgery, the patient should refuse food, and two hours before surgery - from water. Penis enlargement surgery is performed under intravenous anesthesia.

During penis enlargement surgery, the doctor makes an incision in the ligament that connects the pubis and penis and loosens the inside of the penis. After removing the hidden part from the outside, the doctor fixes it in the desired condition. The duration of the operation lasts up to half an hour.

Temporary consequences of penis enlargement can be pain, slight swelling, and bruising around the penis. If necessary, the surgeon may prescribe painkillers for a few days.

Ligamentotomy or phalloplasty?

A ligamentotomy or phalloplasty is performed to enlarge the penis. Phalloplasty is done only in the presence of a strict indication (in the presence of micropenis, in case of injury to the penis as a result of trauma, after sex reassignment surgery).

Unlike ligamentotomy, phalloplasty can have negative results. Possible complications of phalloplasty:

Damage to the rectum or bladder;
Dies from displaced flap;
Pelvic bleeding;
Prolonged need for drainage (a device that collects blood and fluid from the wound).

Scars may appear after surgery, possibly reducing mobility and tenderness around the penis. When comparing risks and possible complications, ligamentotomy is the best option.
