consultation with the 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 relationship in the opinion of women.

The results obtained showed that the average penis size for a single date 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 the combination of genes (sex chromosomes) inherited from parents at conception. Human sex chromosomes determine biological sex and secondary sexual characteristics.

The Y chromosome, inherited from the father, affects the genes responsible for male genital development and fertility. The length and diameter of the penis depends on the X chromosome taken from the mother. The X chromosome contains 900-1400 genes, while the Y chromosome contains only about 70-200 genes, which explains its impact on penile development. Other factors that affect penis size:

the amount of androgen hormone in the mother's body at an early stage of intrauterine fetal development;
testosterone and growth hormone levels during puberty;
the effect on the body of chlorpyrifos penticides, polifluoroalkyl 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 also depends on the nutrition of the baby in the womb and during the first years of life. Malnutrition can lead to hormonal disruption 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 in a relaxed state, as 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% in perimeter). It is necessary to measure the size of the penis in the erect state. To measure the length of the penis a centimeter tape is used, with which you should measure the distance from the base of the penis to the end of its tip.

A soft tape measure or a rope that does not stretch can be used to measure the diameter of an 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 have to look at the number you get when tying the ends. Using the rope, guide it and use a centimeter to measure the distance from the mark to the end of the rope.

Average penis size

The size of the penis depends on the age of the male. A large increase in penis growth occurs in boys between the ages of 10 and 14 years. Average penis size by age:

10-11 years - from 4, 1 to 7, 9 cm;
12 years old - from 5. 1 to 10. 2 cm;
13 years old - from 5. 1 to 12 cm;
14 years old - from 6. 1 to 13. 98 cm;
15 years old - from 7, 9 to 14, 99 cm;
16 years old - from 9, 9 to 14, 99 cm;
17 years old - from 9, 9 to 16 cm;
18 years old - 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 at erection. A smaller penis indicates a pathology (micropenis) that is usually diagnosed at birth.

The average penis size in men over 17 years old was surveyed by American medical professionals in 2014. The study included 15, 521 men. Average penis sizes:

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

The presence of a micropenis or the desire to enlarge the normal anatomical size of the penis is an indication for penis lengthening surgery. Before enlarging the penis it is necessary to consult a surgeon.

Ways to enlarge your penis

Penis enlargement methods vary depending on the part of the penis that the patient wants to enlarge. It is possible to enlarge the head of the penis without surgery by inserting a gel based on hyaluronic acid. Contouring the penis allows for a short-term effect (the head of the penis grows by a year 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. Lipofilmation makes it possible to increase the width of the penis up to one cm.

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

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

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

The technique of penis enlargement is chosen by the surgeon in a preliminary consultation, depending on the needs of the patient, indications and contraindications for surgery.

How to enlarge the penis with exercises

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

How is penis enlargement surgery going?

Before ligamentotomy in the evening and in the morning before surgery, the patient should refuse food, and two hours before surgery - by 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 penis and loosens the inside of the penis. After removing the hidden part outside, the doctor adjusts it to the desired position. The duration of the operation lasts up to half an hour.

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

Ligamentotomy or falloplasty?

A ligamentotomy or phalloplasty is performed to enlarge the penis. Faloplasty is performed only if there are strict indications (if there is 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 phalloplasty:

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

Signs may appear after surgery and there may be decreased mobility and tenderness in the penis area. When comparing potential risks and complications, ligamentotomy is the best option.
