The size of a man’s penis was always a matter of great concern to both men and their wives. A larger penis has always been linked to greater self-confidence, sex skill and contentment. This leaves the majority of men frantically searching for ways to increase their penis. Given the development of the internet and with so many products proclaiming to offer the solution, it might be impossible to know which is the most appropriate and secure option. Let’s examine some of the most successful penis enlargement treatments and their outcomes.
Understanding Penis Size
Before learning about penis enlargement, let us check what factors determine the size of the penis. The average length of a flaccid penis is around 3.5 inches, and the average erect penis is about 5.1 inches. Genes tell you how large a man’s penis should be, and it’s impossible to modify it. But there are tried and tested ways to boost the size and length of the man’s penis.
1. Jelqing
Jelqing or milking is a centuries-old technique for the expansion of the penis. It entails massaging and stretching the penis in order to grow its length and circumference. The idea behind jelqing is to promote blood supply to the penis, ultimately causing irreversible tissue growth. The technique is relatively easy and you can do it with your hands and a lubricant. But it’s not always consistent, and it takes months for results to show up.
2. Penis Extenders
Penis extenders (also known as traction devices) are machines that extend the penis for a prolonged period of time. These machines utilise the same principles as jelqing in that they gradually raise the amount of blood to the penis and produce tissue. Science supports penis extenders, with one study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine showing 1.8cm of flaccid length and 2.3 cm of erect length growth after six months.
3. Penis Pumps
Penis pumps are another way of enlarging the penis. These instruments push blood up into the penis, making it rise. The pump’s vacuum pumps more blood to the penis, causing it to enlarge for a few minutes. Though penis pumps can amplify the sex temporarily, it is unclear if they work in terms of long-term augmentation. The American Urological Association doesn’t recommend pumps to enlarge the penis as there isn’t enough evidence to support them.
4. Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises are usually done by women but can also be done by men. Such exercises work by stretching and relaxing pelvic floor muscles, thus strengthening the erection muscles. More powerful pelvic floor muscles also increase blood flow to the penis and therefore results in stronger erections and perhaps even a larger penis. One article in the Journal of Urology found that Kegel exercises helped men to grow their erect penis by an average of 2.5cm over six months, when they practiced them daily.
5. Surgical Procedures
There are surgical treatments for penis enlargement for men who desire a more drastic, non-surgical option. Such operations include elongation and girth surgery. But these operations are highly risky, and can result in severe side-effects, including scarring, infection and sensory loss. Moreover, the results are not always stable, and the treatments are expensive.
6. Weight Loss
If you are overweight, your penis looks smaller because fat in the pubic region covers a small section of the penis. Losing weight can help show off more of the penis to make it look bigger. One study in the International Journal of Impotence Research revealed that when men became obese, they experienced a 1.2-inch increase in penis size after dieting and exercising.
7. Herbal Supplements
We see herbal supplements advertised as ways to make the penis grow bigger naturally. Such supplements usually consist of a combination of herbs, amino acids, and vitamins that are said to stimulate blood circulation and the development of tissue. Although there is little scientific data that confirms they are safe, some men say that they saw a boost in their penis size once they take the supplements.
8. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections
PRP injections are used to take blood from the patient, separate the platelets, and reintroduce them into the penis. These growth factors in platelets stimulate the regeneration of tissue. A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that PRP injections lengthen the penis up to 1.3 inches and the waist by as much as 0.6 inches. This technique is still in its infancy and still needs to be explored more deeply, but the early experiments are promising.
9. Lifestyle Changes
The most natural approach for expanding your penis is through lifestyle. Although genetics can determine how large a man’s penis is, there are lifestyle elements that affect its size and function. These include:
– Keeping your weight in check: Over weight can make a man’s penis look smaller than it really is. Weight reduction and good BMI are two of the best ways to make your penis look better.
– Exercise: Exercise can help increase blood circulation, which is the key to maintaining a healthy penis.
– Quit smoking: Smoking damages blood vessels and reduces blood flow, which can affect the size and shape of the penis.
– Stress management: Over time, stress reduces testosterone levels, which affects the penis size and function. By exercising, meditation, therapy, and other healthy ways of managing stress, healthy testosterone can be kept in check.
Lifestyle modification may not necessarily make the penis grow in size, but it can make it look and work better and make it seem bigger.
You must be aware that although these procedures are known to make the penis larger somewhat, the outcomes could vary. Consistency and patience are also necessary to achieve success. All these techniques won’t make your hair look large overnight, and it might take weeks or months before it appears to get big.
Further, it’s important to use these treatments with caution and always seek the advice of your doctor before doing so. Certain techniques, like surgery, have dangerous side-effects and should be taken only after careful consideration and consultation with a doctor.
Conclusion
Not all penis enlargement procedures work. Jelqing, penis extenders, Kegel exercises, and surgery are scientifically-proven practices that work to a limited extent. But these techniques are unique to each individual and their outcomes, and repeatability is the key to long-term results. Please note: it is strongly recommended that you consult with a healthcare professional before performing any of the following exercises, particularly if you are experiencing any illnesses. Finally, remember, having reasonable expectations and being aware that the size doesn’t determine your sexual satisfaction is most important.
