Is it possible to enlarge the penis?

doctor's consultation before penis enlargement

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

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

What determines penis size?

Penis size is influenced by a combination of genes (sex chromosomes) received from parents during pregnancy. The human sex chromosome determines biological sex and secondary sex characteristics.

The Y chromosome, received from the father, influences 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 penis development. Other factors that affect penis size:

the amount of androgen hormones in the mother's body in the early stages of fetal intrauterine development;
testosterone and growth hormone levels during puberty;
effects on the body of chlorpyrifos penticides, polyfluoroalkyl substances, triclosan and bisphenols in the process of fetal development;
the effects of environmental estrogen on the body during puberty.

Penis size also depends on the nutrition of the baby in the womb and during the first years of life. Malnutrition can cause hormonal disorders and slow development of the whole body, including the penis.

How to Determine Penis Size?

There is no need to determine the size of the penis in a quiet state, because the length and diameter of the penis may vary depending on external factors (for example, from coldness, the penis can decrease by 50% in length and by 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, a centimeter tape is used, for which you need to measure the distance from the base of the penis to the tip of its tip.

A soft measuring tape or non -stretch strap can be used to measure the diameter of an erect penis. For accurate results, wrap tape or string around the thickest part of your penis. When using a measuring tape, you only need to look at the number you get when you connect the ends. Using a rope, straighten and use one centimeter to measure the distance from the mark to the end of the rope.

Average penis size

Penis size depends on the age of the man. Large spikes in penis growth occur in boys between the ages of 10 and 14 years. Average penis size by age:

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

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

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

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

Ways to enlarge your penis

Penis enlargement methods differ depending on 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. The contour of the penis allows for short -term effects (the head of the penis increases one and a half to two years).

You can increase the thickness of the penis using lipofilling. During the procedure, the patient’s adipose tissue is injected 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 enlarge the penis surgically. Penis enlargement method:

ligamentotomy (elongation of the penis occurs with an incision of the supporting ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone);
phalloplasty (prosthetics performed to enlarge the penis).

If there are indications to enlarge the diameter of the penis, a muscle tissue transplant can also be done. This operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis up to three to four cm.

The penis enlargement technique is chosen by the surgeon at an initial consultation, depending on the patient’s needs, indications and contraindications for surgery.

How to enlarge your penis with exercise

No studies have been conducted confirming the effectiveness of exercise to enlarge the penis permanently. Penis stretching exercises can cause bruising, damage to blood vessels, redness, numbness, and swelling in the penis area. Penis enlargement with exercise can also result in an inability to maintain an erection.

How does penis enlargement surgery occur?

Before 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, doctors make incisions in the ligaments that connect the pubis and penis and free the inside of the penis. After removing the hidden part on the outside, the doctor fixes it in the desired position. The duration of the operation takes up to half an hour.

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

Ligamentotomy or phalloplasty?

To enlarge the penis, a ligamentotomy or phalloplasty is performed. Phalloplasty is performed only if there are severe signs (if there is micropenis, if the penis is damaged due to trauma, after gender reassignment surgery).

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

damage to the rectum or bladder;
die from missing wings;
pelvic bleeding;
long -term need for drainage (a device that collects blood and fluid from wounds).

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