Have you ever since Homo sapiens learned to walk erect, one
question has haunted man beyond any other – ‘How can I increase the length and
breadth of my penis?’ Surely with the help of rapid advancement of science,
medicine and technology where HIV positive people stay hale and hearty for
years and stem cell therapy is helping cure incurable cancer, they must have
figured out a safe way to enlarge the length and breadth of penis! In this type of post, we will tell you some
more things about the penis enlargement treatment and get our expert Dr Hashmi’s
(Sexual Health Physician & Medical Sex Therapist) opinions on the various
methods that you may or may not have heard about sexual health.
But first of all, it’s time to answer some important questions:
But first of all, it’s time to answer some important questions:
How exactly
does one measure a penis and what is normal penis size?
It’s important to note the penis properly before jumping to
any conclusions. To get a precise measurement, one should only take a
measurement at the time of erection. The proper way to do it is to measure the
entire penis –start from the base near the belly end up to the tip. Most of the
experts agree that a normal erect penis size is between 5.1 to 5.9 inches.
So in that
case who needs penis enhancement?
Normally, penis enhancement is suggested only for those
people who suffer from an abnormal condition called the micro-penis (a penis
which measures less than 3 inches when erection takes place). It is estimated
that only six in a 1000 males suffer from this serious condition. Most of the
doctors and experts are unanimous in their opinion that other people do not
need penis enhancement.
Do any of
the penis enlargement techniques even work?
While researching for this article we did not come across
one credible site or source which has information about or endorses safe
methods for penis enlargement. Most of them have skewed data, fake
testimonials, non-credible information about the penis enlargement product’s
contents or procedure and dodgy expert comments. If there really was a safe
health medicine product/procedure out there, we’re sure we would have heard
about it by now. Take Viagra for example – the erectile dysfunction medicine is
arguably the most popular and well-known drug on the planet.
That said, let’s see what the various male enhancement
products and procedures are:
1. Topical
applications:
• Pills,
creams, gels and lotions
How they claim to work: They are supposed to contain
vitamins, minerals, herbs or hormones and many more things that can increase
your penis size. None of the manufacturers want to tell the customers exactly
what these ingredients are or how they work – we’re just supposed to believe
their tall claims. Be very wary of these products – an analysis carried out the
by the University of Maryland in the USA found traces of lead, pesticides,
E.coli bacteria and animal faeces in the samples!
Dr Hashmi – Many of the enlargement pills available for
penis enlargement which are not proven to be safe and/or effective in long run.
It is quite easy for experts and researchers to disprove them all.
2. Devices:
• Vacuum
Pump
How they claim to work: Basically you put your penis in a pressurized
cylinder which sucks in all the air. This causes the blood to flow and stay in
your penis. Repeating this procedure is supposed to increase the size of the
penis.
Side-effects: The vacuum pump is sometimes used to treat
people suffering from erectile dysfunction or Peyronie’s disease (abnormally
angled penises). If used for too long, they can cause long term damage like
ruptured blood vessels, tearing or erectile dysfunction.
Dr Hashmi: It is non-invasive (meaning there is no need to
put anything inside your body like a tablet or injection or any other
medicine). This could be a safe first choice. But, remember not to use it for a
long time.
• Stretchers,
weights, rings and other devices for penis enlargement
How they claim to work: You attach these devices to the
penis and they are supposed to increase your penis size by stretching the
muscle. They exploit people’s misconception that muscles of the penis are like
other muscles of the body and can be
bulked up by repeated use (exercising).
Side-effects: Wear and tear of muscles, tissues, ruptured
blood vessels, erectile dysfunction, decreases in sensation, etc. Also these
type of devices require users to use it for a ridiculous amount of time without
much benefit and a very high amount of risk.
3.
Exercises:
How they claim to work: The most common form of exercise is
called Jelqing or ‘milking’. It comprises of rapidly and repeatedly pulls your
flaccid penis to increase the size of the penis.
Side-effects: There’s no evidence to suggest that this
technique has ever worked. Over-enthusiasm might result in muscle or tissue
wear and tear.
Dr Hashmi: When done properly and not too vigorously, it
does help a man relate better with his penis. Although the benefits are not
obvious, it is less likely to cause problems. At the least, this type of
technique makes a man feel that he is doing something to deal with his concern.
But, it is most important for him to be aware that he may not realize any size
gain and be prepared not to get disappointed.
