The Facts On Penis Enlargement
Penis size is a very important and sensitive issue for many men and the variety of penis enlargement products on the market are vast. But, before you try the numerous products on the market promising to make your penis bigger, you need to be informed on the facts.
Stretching with weights. This technique requires you to hang weights from your penis for 20 - 30 minutes a day. The weights can exercise the penis, but may cause permanent damage. These include: serious pain, bruises and dislocating of tendons found in the pubic area. Even worse, these weights could cut off circulation to the penis and cause an infection.
Vacuum pumps. Pumps draw blood into the penis and make it swell creating an illusion of a larger penis. Results are seldom permanent (usually lasting 30 minutes) because the pump does not increase the blood capacity in the cells of the penis, which is necessary to achieve permanent size gains. Repeated use can also damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to less-firm erections. Another problem with a pump is that you can put too much pressure on his penis, making it bleed.
Pills, patches and lotions. These usually contain vitamins, minerals, herbs or hormones such as testosterone that claim to enlarge the penis. However, none of these products has been shown to be effective. Not to mention that you could suffer an allergic reaction to one of the minerals or herbs causing an embarrassing rash or worse
Surgery. There are a couple ways to improve penis size surgically. The first is through silicone implants, which are inflated by a pump placed next to the groin area. The second is injecting the penis with silicone, collagen or vaseline. Then again, some men have had to undergo additional operations to correct deformities caused by the original procedure. The ill effects include scarring, a shorter penis, hair on the base of the penis, a low-hanging penis, loss of sensitivity and abnormal fat lumps. Other complaints include impotence (erectile dysfunction), urinary incontinence and persistent pain.
Exercises. Penis enlargement exercises are a great and safe way to achieve the penis size goals that you have. Exercises done on a regular basis have been proven to increase the blood capacity of the corpora cavernosa, which encourages permanent growth in both length and girth. When the erectile tissue is encouraged to hold a greater volume of blood than it could otherwise naturally accommodate, then this will in turn result in a larger size both when erect and flaccid. Many men start seeing changes in penis size within a few weeks. Some men have added up to an inch or more in less than a month. How quickly you see a result is entirely dependent on keeping up the exercises and following instructions closely.
