We've rounded up the most common ways that promise to increase male dignity and find out if they really work. Our experts helped us in this: from psychologists to the association of urologists.
ways that work
massage in red
Among the most popular methods to increase manhood are massage techniques: acupressure and exercises called jelqing. Popularizers of these techniques claim that several months of daily training will help increase male dignity.
"There is not a single scientific study that proves the healing properties of massage techniques", says the expert. "They just improve the blood supply to the penis, which can make it a little bigger. But this is a very temporary phenomenon - a few hours and the effect will wear off.
Experts do not recommend the use of such techniques, especially if there is diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis and congenital anomalies of blood vessels. Various complications can occur, including the disease of 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.
Watch out, weights!
Stretching promises to quickly increase a man's dignity by up to 3 cm: there are several 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, warns the specialist. - As a result, Peyronie's disease can develop - scar plaques form on the penis, which will cause curvature during 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! The male hormone affects sexual function, not size, explains the expert. - In addition, the use of such drugs without consulting a doctor is fraught with a violation of the hormonal chain: the so-called testosterone pit can occur (often seen in bodybuilders who take excessively large doses of hormones. ) This is fraught with loss of sexual function, male infertility, and problems with many systems in the body. "
Creams - for a few hours
Advertising for penis enlargement creams is rife all over the internet. They are easy to use and promise fantastic results. This is what bribes men who want to increase the unit to buy.
"These funds are absolutely ineffective: it is the same as buying a cream to enlarge the arm or nose", guarantees the expert. - The only thing this drug can give is a slightly noticeable increase (up to 1. 5 cm) for 5-6 hours. This is due to the fact that it has a warming and vasodilation effect.
In addition, some creams can be "chemically dirty": they contain hormone supplements and dangerous allergenic components. They can cause common irritation and damage to the mucous membrane, even 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 heating ointments, the vacuum pump really gives an increase (1-3 cm) and thickening (up to 5 mm) of the penis, and also improves the erection. - But it is important to understand: the effect will be achieved if the patient to exercise regularly and live a full sex life. It is impossible to increase once and for all with the help of a vacuum pump!
And one more important note: you need to use it carefully and correctly so as not to damage the vessels and the 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 lengthened by 1. 5 to 2 cm. A more aggressive method is the dissection in the suprapubic region of the ligaments that support the penis. For thickening (5-10 mm), the imposition of special implants is widely used, and for stretching and thickening, prostheses can be made.
"But you need to understand that this is forever - it's impossible to get your size back. - Each method has disadvantages, so you need to weigh all the pros and cons. And surgical manipulations should only be performed by a qualified doctor.
Among the contraindications for 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 be okay with sizes, but due to circumstances (for example, he didn't satisfy his partner), there suddenly arises a desire to change something. But size doesn't matter much! 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" has been around since ancient times: in most peoples and cultures, the phallus was considered a symbol of strength and fertility, and the bigger the more wonderful. Thus, the problem of size dissatisfaction has a social character.
"Boys don't care about size. Then there's the first contact with the topic of sex - usually by watching pornography. The young man correlates his size with what he sees - and the first seeds of doubt are sown! Then they add anecdotes and stereotypes develop, and the man starts to get complicated", explains the specialist psychologist. And 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 to 17 cm, and a penis of 18 cm is already considered very large", says the specialist and recalls: in psychiatry there is even a diagnosis for those who are not satisfied with their own size -" dysmorphic disorder " (it is similar to anorexia).
In general, before increasing masculinity, try sexual techniques. But most importantly, love sincerely and truly. So the pleasure is guaranteed!
