consultation with a doctor before penis enlargement

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

The obtained results showed that the average penis size for one examination was 16. 2 cm in length and 12. 7 cm in diameter. For long-term relationships, 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) obtained from parents during conception. Human sex chromosomes determine biological sex and secondary sexual characteristics.

The Y chromosome, obtained from the father, affects the genes responsible for the development of the male genitalia and fertility. The length and diameter of the penis depend on the X chromosome obtained 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 androgenic hormone in the mother's body in the early stages of intrauterine fetal development;
testosterone and growth hormone levels during puberty;
effect on the body of chlorpyrifos penticides, polyfluoroalkyl substances, triclosan and bisphenol in the process of fetal development;
the effect of environmental estrogens on the body during puberty.

The size of the penis depends on the nutrition of the baby in the womb and during the first years of life. Malnutrition can lead to hormonal disorders and slow development 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 at rest, because the length and diameter of the penis can vary depending on external factors (for example, from the cold, the penis can be reduced by 50% in length and by 20%. -30% of circumference). It is necessary to measure the size of the penis in the state of erection. To measure the length of the penis, a centimeter tape is used, with which you must measure the distance from the base of the penis to the end of its tip.

A soft measuring tape or non-stretching rope can be used to measure the diameter of the erect penis. For an accurate result, wrap a ribbon or rope around the thickest part of your penis. When using a tape measure, you just 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.

Average penis size

Penis size depends on the age of the man. A big jump in penis growth occurs in boys between the ages of 10 and 14. Average penis size by years:

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 in erection. A smaller penis indicates a pathology (micropenis) that is usually diagnosed at birth.

The average penis size in men over the age of 17 was examined by American medical experts in 2014. 15, 521 men participated in the study. Average penis sizes:

resting penis length - 9, 16 cm;
resting penis circumference - 9, 31 cm;
erection penis length - 13, 12 cm;
the circumference of the erect penis is 11. 66 cm.

The presence of a micropenis or a desire to increase the anatomically normal size of the penis is an indication for penis lengthening surgery. It is necessary to consult a surgeon before enlarging the penis.

Ways to enlarge the penis

Penis enlargement methods vary depending on the part of the penis that the patient wants to enlarge. Enlargement of the head of the penis without surgery is possible by introducing a gel based on hyaluronic acid. Contouring of the penis enables a short-term effect (the head of the penis increases in a year and a half to two years).

You can increase the thickness of the penis with 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.

Different methods are used for surgical penis enlargement. Penis enlargement methods:

ligamentotomy (extension of the penis occurs through an incision of the supporting ligament that attaches the penis to the pubic bone);
phalloplasty (prosthetics are done to enlarge the penis).

If there is an indication for an increase in the diameter of the penis, a muscle tissue transplant can also be performed. The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis to three to four cm.

The technique of penis enlargement is chosen by the surgeon at preliminary consultations, depending on the patient's needs, indications and contraindications for surgery.

How To Enlarge Penis Exercises

None of the conducted studies confirm the effectiveness of exercise for permanent penis enlargement. Penis stretching exercises can lead to bruising, damage to blood vessels, redness, numbness and swelling in the penis area. Penis enlargement with exercise can also lead to an inability to maintain an erection.

How is penis enlargement surgery progressing?

Before the ligamentotomy in the evening and in the morning before the operation, the patient should refuse food, and two hours before the operation - water. Penis enlargement surgery is performed under intravenous anesthesia.

During penis enlargement surgery, the doctor makes an incision in the ligament 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.

Temporary effects of penis enlargement can be pain, mild swelling and bruising in the penis area. If necessary, the surgeon can prescribe painkillers for a few days.

Ligamentotomy or phalloplasty?

Ligamentotomy or phalloplasty is performed to enlarge the penis. Phalloplasty is performed only if there are strict indications (if there is a micropenis, if the penis is damaged as a result of trauma, after sex reassignment surgery).

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

damage to the rectum or bladder;
death of displaced lobe;
pelvic bleeding;
long-term need for drainage (a device that collects blood and fluid from a wound).

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