Penis size varies widely from man to man, as well as from country to country, so it is difficult to determine an interval to assess whether the size of the penis can be considered normal.
Therefore, satisfaction with the size of the sexual organ depends mainly on the man himself and the place where he grew up, since for a man an erect penis of 13 cm can be considered completely normal while for another it may be an unsatisfactory size.
Still, for men who want to increase their penis size, there are several forms of treatment, from pills, to pumps, exercise and, ultimately, surgery. In any case, you should always consult a urologist before trying any treatment.
What is the normal size of the penis?
There is no defined size to consider a normal penis, however, according to a worldwide study of more than 15, 000 men, the average size of the flaccid penis appears to vary between 7 and 11 cm, while the erect penis varies between 12 and 18 cm.
In many cases, the size of the flaccid penis does not determine the size it will have during an erection, so many doctors only consider treatment options when the size during erection does not satisfy a man.
Check out the 7 main doubts about penis size.
5 options for penis enlargement
The treatment to increase the size of the penis is usually initiated with the most natural options such as vacuum pumps, pills, stretching devices and exercises, however, when the results are not satisfactory, or the size of the penis is very small, the urologist can indicate surgery.
1. Exercises to do at home
Exercises are usually the first treatment option, as they have no contraindications or cost and can have some results. Some of the exercises that offer the best results include:
- Normal stretching: hold the body of the penis, 1 cm below the glans, and then slightly stretch the penis with enough force to feel it stretching out, but without causing pain. Hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds and relax. Then, repeat the technique by pulling the penis down, up, right and left. Inverted stretch: place the thumb of both hands 1 cm below the glans and the other fingers under the penis, to support the organ. Then, slightly pull the skin back with your thumb, but without moving the fingers underneath, until you feel the skin stretching, but without causing pain. Hold the position for 20 seconds and relax. Finally, repeat these steps 5 to 7 times, resting 5 seconds between each repetition. Rotating stretch: grab the penis 1 cm below the glans using only the index finger and the thumb of one hand, then pull the penis out slightly until you feel a slight pressure. Finally, rotate the penis in one direction for 10 to 15 seconds and then in the other direction. Repeat these steps 5 to 10 times, rotating 3 times on each side.
Normally, these exercises should be done with the flaccid or semi-rigid penis, but one should avoid doing the exercises with the erect penis, as it can cause damage to the body of the sexual organ.
2. Stretching devices
In addition to the exercises, there are also some devices that help to lengthen the penis and that can be used at home for a few minutes. This type of treatment usually includes a device or weight that is attached to the base of the penis glans and that puts pressure on the body of the penis to lengthen it.
Although the results are not immediate, with continuous use, and after a few months it is possible to observe an increase in the penis during erection, as the body becomes more elongated and, therefore, can receive more blood.
However, this type of device should only be used after consulting the urologist, since some, purchased from online stores, can create excessive force under the penis, resulting in possible injuries, which may end up creating difficulties in erection, for example.
3. Vacuum pumps
Vacuum pumps are a great option to increase the size of the penis quickly, however, their effect is short since they work by increasing the amount of blood in the penis during erection at the time they are used.
Thus, pumps are usually indicated for men who only want to slightly increase their size or thickness for a short period of time or who need help to maintain their erection for longer than normal.
To use this type of pump, it is very important to read the manufacturer's instructions or consult the urologist, as not using excessive pressure can cause damage to the sexual organ.
4. Pills to increase the size
The pills used to increase the size of the penis are usually the same used to treat erection problems in men, such as Viagra, Cialis or Levitra, for example.
This type of remedy increases the amount of blood in the penis and, therefore, in addition to ensuring a more effective and lasting erection can also improve the size and thickness of the penis, but only as long as the effect of the pill lasts.
Although they are relatively safe, before using the pills, you should consult the urologist to identify if there are any health problems that may be affected by their use.
5. Penis enlargement surgery
Surgery to increase the size of the penis should be considered the last treatment option, as the result is not always what is expected and deformities may appear, which end up making the erection difficult.
Thus, this surgery is usually only considered for cases of penis with a very small size, usually less than 4 cm. Check out how this type of surgery is done and how recovery is.
6. Penis filling
This is one of the latest techniques that helps to increase the circumference of the penis by 1 or 2 cm while flaccid, by injecting hyaluronic acid under the skin of the penis. The procedure can be done in the doctor's office without the need for surgery, but the result only lasts for approximately 18 months.
After the procedure, a recovery period of 1 month is advised, during which intimate contact should not be made. The filling is being done in the United Kingdom for an approximate price of 14 thousand reais per injection.
