Penis enlargement: expectations and reality

Among the ancient Greeks, who sculpted magnificent statues, male figures with small penises were created, demonstrating both male power and the ability to control sexual desires.

However, if you are sure that your penis is small, comparing your measurements with those found on the Internet will certainly not help you feel better. Although you will certainly find many procedures and products (such as penis enlargement cream) that promise to enlarge your penis.

Are these promises too good to be true?

The average length of the penis for a man is about 10 cm. The smallest penis in the world is only 1 cm long, an erect penis of 2. 5 cm is considered a small penis.

Penis enlargement - expectations

Modern medicine has the ability to change the length and thickness of the human penis.

Surgeons can lengthen the penis by cutting the ligaments that attach it to the pelvis; but that just makes a flaccid penis look longer. It doesn't do much for an erect penis other than making it more unstable and less hard. Non-surgical methods to increase length suggest stretching the penis for several hours a day using rubber bands for several months. Similar to braces, they slowly "modify" the penis and can add 1-2 cm in total.

To make the penis thicker, surgical implants or "grafts" are sewn into the side of the penis, or fat, silicone, or muscle grafts are placed under the skin to increase the diameter of the penis. These are quite feasible procedures that give an increase in diameter, but they can make the penis strange, soft, almost doughy and cause complications such as skin erosion or infection, which require the removal of all implants. And when that happens, the distortion can be irreversible and really destroy what was originally perfectly normal.

So how do you know which one is right for you? What is certain? What is effective?

To be honest, no way. This is due to the fact that, like any plastic surgery, penile surgery is aimed rather at satisfying the whims of the patient and does not solve the main problem. This is the reason for the paucity of published data on individual penis enlargement procedures, let alone comparisons between them.

Penis enlargement is a reality

However, a scientific article was recently published that reviewed the results of 17 studies of 21 surgical and non-surgical procedures used to enlarge the penis. The results turned out to be very revealing.

1192 men with a healthy penis who underwent penis enlargement surgery were examined. The vast majority of men who underwent the procedure had normal-sized penises before the procedure.

Surgical procedures included excision of the suspensory ligament (lengthening), fat grafting (extent) flaps (extent) and "penile disassembly". Non-surgical procedures included injections (circumference), extenders (length) and vacuum devices (length)

Among the non-surgical procedures, extensions definitely increased the length, but only just< 2 cm. The injectables increased girth, but were associated with significant complications (lumpy penis).

It is significant that the average satisfaction level of treated men was only 20%!

If before any procedure the patients received a detailed consultation and clarified the details, including the normal size of the penis, then in most cases they refused penis enlargement operations.

conclusions

When it comes to penis enlargement, be careful! Realistically evaluate what you already have and what you will do for the sake of not very reasonable fantasies.

Please note that the majority of men (80%! ), who underwent such procedures, are ultimately not satisfied with the results. Get complete information on what can go wrong and how often it happens.

And remember that in the vast majority of cases, attitudes and skills are much more important than size, and women don't like you for that at all.
