Enlargement of the penis: features of surgical intervention

A man wants to enlarge his penis through surgery

All men are probably interested in ways to change the size of the penis. In various medical and "amateur" forums, they give a lot of advice, from using all kinds of creams and ointments to performing exercises to serious surgeries.

But be that as it may, penis enlargement is an extremely sensitive topic, and each person determines the appropriate methods for solving such a problem.

Plastic surgeons offer a radical method to change the size and volume of the penis. However, such an intervention involves certain difficulties. The point is the anatomy of the penis, which significantly increases the risk of complications during such a procedure.

The structure of the penis consists of several main structural units. These are two cavernous bodies on the sides and a spongy body that surrounds the outside of the urethra. These bodies are cavities divided into smaller slits by thin connective tissue partitions. Thanks to this structure, they quickly fill with blood, which results in an erection.

The inner tissue of the penis is penetrated by blood vessels, and the skin is covered with many nerve receptors, most of which are concentrated in the glans region. That is why, in order to change the shape and size of the penis, you must categorically abandon the "old-fashioned" methods.

Thus, doctors categorically do not recommend preparing synthesized injections, various solutions used in cosmetology and other similar procedures with your own hands. These manipulations are associated with extremely serious complications, including septic blood poisoning.

As a general rule, when a man goes to a doctor with a question about the possibility of correcting the size of the penis, the doctors recommend surgical intervention.

Today, there are several operations to increase the length of the penis:

  • ligamentotomy;
  • penile prostheses;
  • lipofilling;
  • transplantation of own muscle tissue.

Ligamentotomy is one of the most common surgical methods for penis enlargement. The essence of the operation is the excision of the ligament, which is connected to the bony structures of the pelvis on one side and helps hold the penis on the other side. As a result of the intervention, a part of the organ hidden inside the body (approx. 3-5 cm) is released.

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts from 40 minutes to an hour. The rehabilitation period is about 3-4 weeks. During this period, the patient is advised to wear an extension at all times. Of course, it is necessary to dress regularly and follow medical recommendations.

Such an operation has many advantages. The procedure does not affect nerve endings, large blood vessels or muscles. This minimizes the risk of possible complications. The cost of the procedure varies depending on the choice of clinic, the characteristics of the preparatory stage and the rehabilitation period. Ultimately, the surgery can cost $170-$200 at a public clinic and up to $1, 000 at a private hospital.

The most complex surgical intervention is penile prosthesis. Usually, according to strict medical indications (congenital structural characteristics of the genitals, traumatic amputation, impotence, etc. ), during the procedure, an implant made of hypoallergenic plastic or silicone is inserted into the inner tissues of the penis.

The price of such a device can be up to ten thousand dollars, but the appearance of the penis will hardly differ from the real thing. The surgery itself must be added to the price of the implant, which can cost an additional $3, 000 to $5, 000.

Penile prosthesis is characterized by a very long rehabilitation period, which requires constant medical supervision, taking many medications and complete abstinence from sexual activity. Accordingly, the risk of side effects increases.

A gentler way of correcting the shape of the penis is the injection of so-called fillers. The purpose of such techniques is not only to lengthen the penis, but also to increase its volume. The filler can be synthetic hyaluronic acid or the patient's own fat cells. Lipofilling is slightly more expensive, but also causes fewer complications. However, the result of such a procedure does not last long. The size of the penis varies by an average of 1-1. 5 cm, but the fillers dissolve within a few months.

Sometimes patients are offered a so-called muscle transplant. This is a rather complicated plastic surgery, during which the size of the penis is increased with the help of the patient's own muscle tissue, which, roughly speaking, wraps around the outer sheath of the penis. In this way, the penis can be enlarged by 3-4 cm. This surgical intervention is considered traumatic and is characterized by a long recovery period (up to 2 months). Such manipulation costs about 4000-5000 dollars.

Penis enlargement surgery can cause complications in men

Of course, operations aimed at changing the length of the penis have many contraindications.

So it will not be implemented if:

  • poor blood clotting;
  • at an early age (18-21 years old);
  • urinary tract infections and epidermal covering of the penis (regardless of etiology);
  • autoimmune disease;
  • severe damage to the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, liver, kidneys;
  • certain chronic pathologies.

In addition, in case of hormonal imbalance (at least until the functioning of the endocrine system is normalized), it is not advisable to perform the surgery. In some cases, the surgeon recommends that the patient consult a psychologist first. The fact is that the length of the penis of most representatives of the stronger sex does not exceed 15 cm.

Therefore, if the size of the manhood in a state of excitement "fits" into the generally accepted 12-16 cm, you should carefully consider the expediency of such a serious surgical intervention.

Such an operation can cause a number of complications:

  • loss of sensitivity of nerve endings;
  • secondary bacterial infection;
  • scar formation;
  • bleeding;
  • reduced potency.

Perhaps you should first try simpler and safer methods, for example, some exercises at home, using anchors, stretching tissues with special devices (extenders and vacuum pumps). Good results can also be achieved by applying various drugs to the skin of the penis and using folk remedies (especially swallowing soda).

Sometimes the problem is not that the penis is too short or thin. Sometimes a man suffers from erectile dysfunction, which is successfully corrected with the help of special pills.

How to make your penis bigger: local products

Various ointments, creams and gels are a relatively safe way to enlarge the penis.

They may contain various ingredients, the main ones being:

  • enzymes;
  • amino acids;
  • vitamins;
  • synthetic and herbal ingredients.

This combination ensures the biological effect of such drugs, which is as follows:

  • strengthening the walls of the blood vessels of the penis;
  • increasing the rate of metabolism in cells and tissues;
  • activation of blood flow in the vessels of the penis;
  • increased sensitivity of nerve endings in the skin of the penis.

This combination of biological effects ensures increased erection and prolongation of sexual intercourse. According to the manufacturers of such products, several weeks of regular use will help solve the problem of penis enlargement. But in practice, the results are not so rosy. In fact, the size of the penis increases, but with the use of a cream or spray together with exercises, gymnastics and the use of extensions.

Such preparations are used as follows: the required amount of cream is pressed onto the index finger or sprayed onto the skin of the penis (in the case of a spray) and distributed in a thin layer evenly over the entire length of the penis. The procedure is repeated twice a day - in the morning and in the evening after carrying out the usual hygiene measures. Do not wash off the product and wait until it is completely absorbed into the skin. If necessary, wipe off the residue with a paper towel.

The advantage of such funds is the lack of systemic impact. Medicines act directly on the application area, so there are practically no contraindications to their use. But it is better to refrain from using them if you are prone to allergic reactions and do not individually tolerate the ingredients of the cream or spray. In addition, the use of such drugs should be temporarily stopped if a rash, dermatosis or damage to the skin of the penis appears.

To solve the problem of penis enlargement, it is recommended to use the following tools:

  • cream containing amino acids (L-arginine and glycine), magnesium and guarana extract, thanks to which the product has a positive effect on the length and volume of the penis;
  • spray based on vitamins, minerals, pectins and essential oils. The manufacturers of the spray guarantee a penis enlargement of up to 35% within 1-1. 5 months after use;
  • the preparation containing betaine, arginine and other amino acids can be sprayed on the skin of the penis twice a day and applied shortly before sexual intercourse, it not only lengthens the penis but also improves erection.

In general, the use of such drugs does not involve complications. In isolated cases, itching, rash and burning sensation occur. This indicates the development of an allergic reaction. In this case, the product should be washed off the skin with running water and try to replace it with another cream or spray.

Forums advise applying an anti-coagulant ointment to the skin, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. However, this drug should be used with extreme caution due to the high risk of side effects.

Increasing the volume of the penis: alternative remedies, exercises and massage, use of various tools

With the help of various folk remedies, the development of erectile dysfunction can be prevented, potency and libido can be improved, and the effectiveness of other methods of penis enlargement can be improved.

Medicines for penis enlargement must be prescribed by a doctor.

It is recommended to take the finished medicinal products orally:

  • horse chestnut;
  • Ginkgo biloba;
  • ginseng;
  • Echinacea purpurea;
  • Rhodiola rosea.

Extracts of these plants are included in ready-made tablets and tinctures. They are taken for several months according to the instructions. Thyme, lime blossom, lemon, raspberry and currant can be added to the tea. The use of wormwood infusion also has good results. To do this, pour a teaspoon of plant seeds with two glasses of boiling water, let it stand for 2 hours and filter. The resulting drink should be divided into three equal parts and taken three times a day before meals.

Hirudotherapy is also useful. When attached to the skin, the leech releases dozens of unique biologically active substances into the bloodstream. They are connected to the lumbar region, pubic body, inner thighs and other reflex points determined by the hirudotherapist after examining the patient.

Increasing the volume and length of the penis is possible with the help of a number of exercises that combine stretching and massaging movements. The most common and effective technique is jelqing. This kind of gymnastics helps to add the desired centimeters not only in the length of the penis, but also in its thickness.

The essence of this technique is as follows. The thumb and forefinger firmly grasp the base of the penis. Then, without stretching them, forcefully move your hands towards the head. To make it easier to slide on the skin, you can apply a lubricant to the penis before performing the exercise.

The movements should be rhythmic, moving the fingers from the base of the fingers to the head for approx. It takes 3-4 minutes and then the hands change. Start with a small number of repetitions, then increase the number of movements to 200 (one hundred with each hand).

More tangible results can be achieved by using certain tools. Extenders for stretching the tissues of the penis have gained the greatest popularity. Modern modifications are more expensive, but more comfortable to use, designed to be worn all day and do not cause discomfort or pain.

Penis enlargement can significantly improve your sex life

All extenders are attached to the base of the penis, but they differ in the way they are attached to the glans area. Modified devices safely cover the head, which eliminates the possibility of complications.

Vacuum pumps are easier to use. The operation of such devices is based on the creation of a vacuum in the area of the penis, which stimulates a sharp flow of blood and metabolic processes in the tissues. They are slightly cheaper than extenders, but less effective. It is more often used to improve erection.

Increasing the volume of the penis with an almost 100% guarantee is possible only with surgical intervention. However, this procedure is quite traumatic and can have many side effects. Therefore, if there is no serious problem, doctors recommend starting with exercises and extensions, and if there is no effect, seek help from a plastic surgeon.
