consult a doctor before penis enlargement

According to the women, a study was conducted trying to determine the ideal size of the penis for one-day intercourse and long-term intercourse.

The results showed that the average penis size for a meeting was 16, 2 cm long and 12, 7 cm in diameter. For long-term intercourse, women preferred a penis 16 cm long and 12. 1 cm in diameter.

What determines the size of the penis?

Penis size is affected by a combination of genes (sex chromosomes) inherited from parents during conception. Human sex chromosomes determine biological sex and secondary sexual characteristics.

The Y chromosome inherited from the father affects the genes responsible for the development and fertility of the male sex organs. The length and diameter of the penis depend on the X chromosome at birth. There are 900-1400 genes on the X chromosome and only 70-200 genes on the Y chromosome, which explains its effect on penis development. Other factors that affect penis size:

the amount of androgen hormone in the mother's body in the early stages of intrauterine development of the fetus;
testosterone and growth hormone levels during adolescence;
effects of chlorpyrifos penticides, polyfluorolkyl substances, triclosan and bisphenol A on the body during fetal development;
The effect of environmental estrogens on the body during adolescence.

Penis size also depends on whether the baby is nourished in the womb and in the first years of life. Inadequate nutrition can lead to hormonal disorders and slow growth 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 in a quiet state, because the length and diameter of the penis can vary depending on external factors (for example, a cold can reduce the length of the penis by 50% and 20%. -30% around). In the case of an erection, it is necessary to measure the size of the penis. 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 the penis.

A soft measuring tape or non-stretch rope can be used to measure the diameter of the erect penis. Wrap a ribbon or rope around the thickest part of your penis for a precise result. When using a measuring tape, you only need to look at the number you get when you connect the ends. Using a rope, straighten it and use a centimeter to measure the distance from the mark to the end of the rope.

Medium penis size

The size of the penis depends on the age of the person. A major leap in penis enlargement occurs in boys aged 10-14 years. Average penis size by age:

10-11 years - between 4, 1 and 7, 9 cm;
12 years - between 5, 1 and 10, 2 cm;
13 years old - between 5, 1 and 12 cm;
14 years old - between 6, 1 and 13, 98 cm;
15 years old - between 7, 9 and 14, 99 cm;
16 years old - between 9, 9 and 14, 99 cm;
17 years old - between 9, 9 and 16 cm;
18 years old - 10, from 93 to 17 cm.

Penis size is considered normal if it is longer than 6 cm at rest and more than 9. 3 cm during erectile dysfunction. A smaller penis usually indicates a pathology (micropenis) diagnosed at birth.

In 2014, American medical experts studied the average penis size among men over 17 years of age. The study involved 15, 521 men. Medium penis sizes:

length of penis at rest - 9, 16 cm;
around the penis at rest - 9, 31 cm;
length of erect penis - 13, 12 cm;
The circumference of the erect penis is 11. 66 cm.

The presence of micropenis or the desire to enlarge the anatomically normal size of the penis is an indication for penis lengthening. You should consult a surgeon before enlarging your penis.

Ways to enlarge the penis

Penis enlargement methods vary according to the part of the patient's genitals that he or she wants to enlarge. It is possible to enlarge the head of the penis without surgery by applying a gel based on hyaluronic acid. Contouring of the penis allows a short-term effect (the head of the penis grows from one and a half to two years).

You can increase the thickness of the penis by using lipofilling. During the procedure, the patient's adipose tissue is injected under the skin of the penis. Lipofilling allows you to increase the width of the penis up to one cm.

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

ligamentotomy (extension of the penis occurs by cutting the supporting ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone);
falloplasty (prostheses are used to enlarge the penis).

If an increase in the diameter of the genitals is indicated, a muscle tissue transplant can also be performed. The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis to three to four centimeters.

Penis augmentation techniques are chosen by the surgeon at the initial consultation, depending on the patient's needs, indications for surgery, and contraindications.

How to enlarge your penis with exercises

None of the studies confirms the effectiveness of exercise for permanent penis enlargement. Penile traction exercises can cause bleeding in the penis area, damage to blood vessels, redness, numbness and swelling. Penis enlargement through exercise can also result in an inability to maintain an erection.

How is penis enlargement going?

In the evening and in the morning before the operation, the patient should refrain from eating and water for two hours before the operation. Penis enlargement is performed under intravenous anesthesia.

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

The temporary effects of penis enlargement can include pain, slight swelling and bruising in the penis area. If necessary, the surgeon may prescribe painkillers for a few days.

Ligamentotomy or falloplasty?

A ligamentotomy or falloplasty is performed to enlarge the penis. Phalloplasty is performed only when there are serious indications (if there is a micropenis, if the penis is damaged as a result of trauma, after sex reassignment surgery).

Unlike ligamentotomy, falloplasty can have negative consequences. Possible complications of falloplasty:

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

After the operation, scars may appear, and mobility and sensitivity in the penis may decrease. When comparing risks and possible complications, ligamentotomy is the best choice.
