Penis Enlargement Technique

Penis Enlargement Techniques (sometimes referred to as male enhancement techniques in spam email and television advertisements) are techniques reported to make the human penis larger. This is the goal of men dissatisfied with their penis size. In general, where there is a perceived need to increase penis size, medical advice should be sought, rather than attempting self-treatment Penis Enlargement Techniques. Most self-treatment Penis Enlargement Techniques are believed to be either ineffective, dangerous or both. Very few men have a very small penis (known as a micropenis), and is a very unusual condition which will generally have been detected in early childhood. Penis Enlargement Techniques self-treatments are also not effective on this condition.

Self-treatment Penis Enlargement Techniques

Cosmetic - Rather than attempt to change the actual size of the penis, one may make it appear bigger, by trimming the pubic hair or by losing weight.

Pills - Penis enlargement pills or ointments are commonly offered over the Internet and TV. Analyses performed by Flora Research of California and by the University of Maryland have uncovered harmful contaminants in a number of penis enlargement pills, as contaminants found included mold, yeast, dangerous E coli bacteria, pesticides, and lead.

Penis pump - Another Penis Enlargement Technique which is often advertised is the penis pump. This is a cylinder that is fitted over the penis, with a manual or motorized pump to create suction, as the apparatus creates a vacuum around the penis, blood is drawn into the penis causing it to become engorged. The higher the vacuum, the higher the blood-pressure becomes within the penis, but excessive pressure causes vascular damage rather than a harder penis.

Jelqing and Clamping - Another Penis Enlargement Technique is known as jelqing (or jelquing). Jelqing is a Penis Enlargement Technique intended to enlarge the penis by increasing the blood pressure in the penis, with the goal of permanently increasing the maximum erect size of the penis. This technique, also called Milking, involves wrapping the thumb and index finger around the penis while semi-erect and repeatedly drawing them away from one’s body to force blood into the glans, in that way encouraging more vascularity in the corpus cavernosa and associated tissues.

Penis Enlargement Technique - Surgical Methods

Injection - A related Penis Enlargement Technique involves injection of silicone into the penis and scrotum. This Penis Enlargement Technique is commonly used by Adult Film actors and can cause enormous increases in the girth of the penis (increasing the penis volume by over 900%) but is effectively irreversible and may have side effects including loss of sensation, inability to perform penetrative intercourse, scarring and deformation. Injections of other substances, including mineral oil, collagen, and even KY Jelly may have similar effects, but also may cause extreme scarring and permanent disfigurement.

Inflatable implants - A further Penis Enlargement Technique is to replace the two corpora cavernosa with inflatable penile implants. This is performed primarily as a therapeutic surgery for men suffering from complete impotence, as an implanted pump in the groin can be manipulated by hand to fill these cylinders from an implanted reservoir in order to achieve an erection. The replacement cylinders are normally sized to be direct replacements for the corpus cavernosa, but larger ones can also be implanted.
