We've rounded up the most common ways that promise to increase male dignity and found out if they really work. Our experts have helped us in this: from psychologists to the association of urologists.
Ways that work
Massage in red
Among the most popular methods to increase virility are massage techniques: acupressure and exercises called jelqing. The popularizers of these techniques claim that for several months, daily training will help increase male dignity.
"There is not a single scientific study that confirms the healing properties of massage techniques, " says the specialist. "They just improve the blood supply to the penis, which can make it a little bigger. But this is a very temporary phenomenon - a couple of hours and the effect will disappear.
Experts advise against the use of such techniques, especially if diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, and congenital blood vessel abnormalities are present. Various complications can occur, including disease priapism, when the erection does not go away even after ejaculation. This is an acute surgical pathology, which in the future is fraught with a complete loss of organ function.
Attention, weights!
Stretching promises to quickly increase a man's dignity by up to 3 cm - there are various weights that are attached directly to the penis and special stretching devices.
"They really give an increase. But they can seriously injure, that is, damage the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa, the specialist warns. - As a result, Peyronie's disease can develop - scar plaques form on the penis, which will cause curvature during l erection and pain during intercourse, and these consequences are irreversible.
Hormones out of harmony
There is an opinion that the introduction of testosterone and drugs that stimulate its production will give additional centimeters.
"It's a myth! Male hormone affects sexual function, not size, explains the specialist. - In addition, the use of such drugs without consulting a doctor is fraught with a violation of the hormone chain: a so-called well of testosterone (often seen in bodybuilders who take unreasonably large doses of hormones). This is fraught with loss of sexual function, male infertility and problems with many body systems. "
Creams - for a couple of hours
Penis enlargement advertising creams are full of the internet. They are easy to use and promise fantastic results. This is what corrupts men who want to increase the unit to buy.
"These funds are absolutely ineffective: it is like buying a cream to widen an arm or a nose", assures the specialist. - The only thing that such a drug can give is a slightly noticeable increase (up to 1. 5 cm) for 5-6 hours. This happens due to the fact that it has a warming and vasodilating effect.
In addition, some creams can be "chemically dirty": they contain hormonal supplements and dangerous allergenic components. They can cause both normal irritation and damage to the mucous membrane, up to a chemical burn.
The vacuum pump has been tested!
It involves negative pressure therapy. And this is the only safe remedy that can be used at home!
"In combination with warming ointments, the vacuum pump really gives an increase (1-3 cm) and thickening (up to 5 mm) of the penis and also improves erection. - But it is important to understand: the effect will be achieved if the patient exercises regularly and lives a full sex life. It is impossible to increase once and for all with the help of a vacuum pump!
And another important note: it is necessary to use it carefully and correctly so as not to damage the vessels and mucous membrane of the penis. It can be used independently only after consultation with an andrologist.
Knife to help, or surgery
It is guaranteed to increase manhood with the help of surgical methods. The most harmless is frenuloplasty, in which the penis is stretched by 1. 5-2 cm. A more aggressive method is a dissection in the suprapubic region of the ligaments that hold the penis. For thickening (5-10 mm), the imposition of special implants is widely used, and for elongation and thickening prostheses can be made.
"But you need to understand that this is forever: it is impossible to return your size. - Each method has drawbacks, so you need to weigh all the pros and cons. And surgical manipulations should only be performed by a qualified doctor.
Among the contraindications to surgical penis enlargement are general diseases, hormonal disorders, vascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and old age. But before resorting to surgery, it is worth visiting a psychologist. Because a man can fit with sizes, but due to circumstances (for example, he did not satisfy his partner), suddenly the desire to change something appears. But size doesn't really matter! The main thing for a man is to study his partner.
The whole problem is in society and nature
The stereotype "The more the better" dates back to ancient times: in most peoples and cultures, the phallus was considered a symbol of strength and fertility, and the bigger it is, the more wonderful it is. Therefore, the problem of dissatisfaction with size has a social character.
"Kids don't care about size. Then there is the first acquaintance with the subject of sex, usually through watching pornography. The young man relates his size to what he sees - and the first seeds of sex are sown. insecurity! Then anecdotes and stereotypes are added and the man begins to get complicated ", explains the expert psychologist. Yet: which penis is considered small and which is large? "In an erect adult, less than 12 cm is a small penis. The average size is 12-17 cm and a penis of 18 cm is already considered very large", says the specialist and remembers: in psychiatry there is also a diagnosis for those who are not satisfied with their size - "dysmorphic disorder" (it is similar to anorexia).
In general, before increasing his manhood, he experiments with sexual techniques. Most importantly, he loves sincerely and sincerely. Then the pleasure is guaranteed!
