The penis (member) refers to the organs of the genitourinary system. Unlike women, in men, the urethra and vas deferens exit through one anatomical opening. The size of the penis depends on the hereditary predisposition and individual characteristics of the constitution. In some cases, an increase or decrease in this organ is due to congenital anomalies or hormonal disorders. It happens that the size of the penis is within normal limits, but the man still believes that he is small. This phenomenon is quite common. Unfortunately, the “advertisement” of a large penis has spread throughout the world. It is believed that the size of the penis affects the ability to conceive, as well as the fertility of men. Do not believe these statements, since these hypotheses have no evidence base. In addition, the ability to fertilize is due to the work of male germ cells (sperm) and hormonal regulation, which is carried out thanks to the brain and testicles.
The penis itself serves only as a channel for seminal fluid. Another common opinion is that because of the small size of the penis, a man cannot deliver the partner proper pleasure during sexual intimacy. For these reasons, many members of the stronger sex begin to complex. As a result, men reflect on the question of what constitutes surgical enlargement of the penis. However, it should be remembered: this intervention refers to the methods of surgical treatment. Therefore, you can not change the size of the body to all comers who have no evidence for such a procedure.
Surgical penis enlargement - how?
Complexity of men due to the fact that they have a "small" genital organ is widespread throughout the world. This is probably due to the propaganda of pornography, as well as a huge amount of information filling the open spaces of the media. In addition, penis enlargement by surgery is currently available to many. Advertising of such operations can be seen on the Internet, in private clinics, etc. Unfortunately, some men perceive this information very closely. As a result, many begin to think about the size of their penis. However, it must be remembered that there are anatomical standards for each organ. The penis is no exception.
The average length of the male genital organ is 12 to 18 cm. This “size” is the most common. Moreover, a member whose length is 10-12 cm can also be attributed to a variety of norms. Pathology is micropenis. Its length is less than 10 cm. In addition to these parameters, it is necessary to take into account the width (coverage) of the organ. With micropenis, it is less than 8 cm. In this case, it is true that an operation can be performed - to perform penis enlargement surgically. Also, this intervention is acceptable for small penis sizes (from 10 to 12 cm in length). There are several types of surgical interventions to increase the penis. Among them are simple surgical procedures that take several minutes, and complex ones (falloprosthetics).
Why enlarge the male genital?
To perform a penis enlargement surgically, you must have evidence for this. This operation can only be performed by an experienced specialist - a surgeon-urologist (andrologist). Therefore, before deciding to enlarge a member surgically, a doctor’s consultation is necessary. Most doctors who perform such operations believe that the “small” genital organ is more of a psychological problem. This is due to the effect of sexual relations on self-esteem. After all, failed sexual relations affect the morale of men much more than women. As a result, the “small” problem affects many aspects of the life of the stronger sex. However, not all surgical penis enlargement is permitted. For this operation, there are a number of indications. Among them:
- Micropenis This violation is quite rare. In most cases, it is associated with a lack of pituitary hormones. It should be remembered that it is necessary to measure the length and width of the penis when it is in an erection state. In this case, the man should stand straight. The entire surface of the penis is measured: from the base to the end of the head. If in addition to the small size there is a violation of the function of the organ, then an enlargement of the penis by surgical method is necessary.
- Anomalies in the development of the organ and acquired deformities. These include the following conditions: hypo- and epispadias, injuries of the penis and fibrosis of the cavernous (cavernous) body.
- Penile Involution This condition develops in the elderly or senile age. Most often it is associated with obesity, decreased tissue elasticity, muscle tone. In this case, a penis enlargement surgery is not considered necessary and is performed only at the request of the patient.
In some cases, the procedure is carried out in the absence of the listed indications. These include, for example, erectile dysfunction that is not amenable to medical treatment. In this case, the doctor independently decides whether to perform the operation or not. It depends on the general condition of the patient, the nature of the pathologies of other organs, age, etc.
Penis Enlargement Methods
Penis enlargement is surgically performed in several ways. First of all, it is necessary to decide which correction is required. If you want to increase only the length of the penis, then a ligamentotomy is performed. This method allows you to “stretch” the organ by 2-6 cm. They resort to it only in those cases when the previous length of the penis was close to normal, and also if the patient has no problems with an erection. The thickness of the penis does not change.
Relatively safe methods include muscle tissue implantation and lipofilling. Both operations are designed to thicken the penis or part of it - the head. Surgical enlargement of the penis sometimes sometimes requires great efforts of doctors, and also has certain risks. An example is Operation Perovik. By this surgical intervention is meant the complete separation of the head and cavernous bodies. Lengthening is carried out by implantation of cartilage tissue in the vacant space. Falloprosthetics is another way to enlarge the penis. This method is used only in cases where the erectile function of the penis is impaired.
In which cases resort to surgical intervention?
Penile enlargement is not always surgically welcomed by urologists. In some cases, doctors advise patients to try other methods first. After all, any surgical intervention has risks. This is especially true for complex surgical procedures, such as falloprosthetics and Perovik surgery. In those cases when the genital organ is of normal size, but the man still requires it to be enlarged, a consultation with a psychologist is necessary. Sometimes this method helps a person to avoid an unnecessary step. The same applies to elderly patients. In most cases, these people have many concomitant pathologies in which a serious operation on the genital organ can lead to serious consequences.
Therefore, before deciding to enlarge a member surgically, you need to think carefully and get the advice of an experienced specialist. Indications for falloprosthetics are severe pathologies in which the patient is depressed not only the size of the penis, but also the lack of an erection. This operation is performed for patients with genital abnormalities suffered by injuries, as well as relatively healthy elderly men.
Another indication is micropenis. Surgery such as ligamentotomy is more common. The same goes for penile lipofilling and muscle transplantation. Naturally, these procedures are not recommended for anyone who is not satisfied with their “size”. However, indications for these interventions are not so limited.
Penis Enlargement Method: Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy is an operation that is performed to lengthen the penis. Recently, the method has become widespread. This is due to the fact that it rarely leads to complications, does not apply to heavy surgical procedures, and is available to almost every man who has a "small size" penis. This operation is contraindicated in the stronger sex, suffering from erectile dysfunction. The essence of such a surgical intervention is to cross the suspension ligament.
If you pay attention to the anatomical features of the male reproductive system, you can find out that part of the penis is as if "in reserve." This segment is located in the pubic region. The "reserve" part is held by a special bunch. With ligamentotomy, it is crossed. Thus, the body increases slightly. Immediately after surgery, the penis becomes 1-2 cm longer. To achieve a larger increase, the organ is fixed using a special orthopedic device - an extender. It should be worn for several months. As a result, an adhesion process is formed in the tissues of the penis. This contributes to the lengthening of the organ and its fixation. After the formation of adhesions, the penis increases by 4-6 cm.
Penis thickening with surgery
In some cases, patients prefer not to increase the length of the penis, but its width. It is believed that this is how you can achieve the desired changes in the sexual sphere. There are 2 methods that contribute to penis thickening. Among them:
- Lipofilling. This method of penis enlargement is the introduction of adipose tissue into the subcutaneous tissue. In parallel with this manipulation, liposuction is performed. Fat is taken from other parts of the body (abdomen, buttocks) and is cleaned. After that, it is evenly injected into the tissue of the penis using a special needle. The result is an increase in the penis by about 1 cm in diameter. The procedure is not dangerous for the body and does not require a long recovery. However, the result obtained after lipofilling is short-lived. Therefore, you need to periodically repeat this manipulation.
- Muscle tissue transplantation. This operation refers to complex surgical procedures. The tissue for transplantation is taken from the axillary fascia or abdominal wall. The muscle flap "wraps" around the penis, then the blood vessels are sutured. As a result, the organ increases by 3-4 cm in diameter.
Penile prosthetics
The “classic” member enlargement by the surgical method is falloprosthetics. This operation is carried out only for strict indications. Among them, not only "small size", but also sexual dysfunction. Cartilage tissue (Perovik operation) or special elastic materials are used as prostheses. The operation refers to complex surgical procedures, therefore it is contraindicated in people with severe somatic pathologies. An implant having an inflatable mechanism is considered the best option. It allows not only to have a sexual life, but also independently regulate an erection. Unfortunately, not many can afford such an implant. Therefore, the patient is given the choice of prosthesis. Currently, implants are made only from flexible materials.
How to enlarge a member without surgery?
Penis enlargement without surgery is also widely practiced. It is recommended for patients who have contraindications for surgery. For this, special vacuum devices and extenders are used. In the first case, the length of the penis practically does not change, but the penis increases in diameter. Vacuum installations contribute to a change in blood circulation in the corpora cavernosa. To lengthen the penis, it is recommended to wear a special clamp - extender. Thanks to him, the penis is gradually stretched. In order to achieve a similar effect, it takes about six months. As a result, the length of the penis increases only by 2-3 cm. Therefore, it is recommended to combine this method with ligamentotomy.
Penis Enlargement: doctors reviews
Urologists are involved in the enlargement of the male genital organ; in some cases, plastic surgeons are needed. Doctors do not recommend surgical methods for lengthening or enlarging the penis unless necessary. According to doctors, such operations should be carried out only according to indications. If the size of the penis is slightly below normal, surgeons advise the patient to first try non-surgical methods of penis enlargement. With preserved erections, operations such as ligamentotomy and lipofilling are recommended. If necessary, falloprosthetics are performed. This method has both advantages and disadvantages. The result largely depends on the choice of implant.
Surgical penis enlargement: patient reviews
Reviews of patients who underwent penis enlargement surgery are controversial. Mostly men are satisfied with the result. This is especially true for falloprosthetics using a good implant. Also, patients note a lengthening of the penis after ligamentotomy. Lipofilling has also established itself as an effective procedure. Some men are unhappy that the result is short-lived. In some cases, after lipofilling, an uneven redistribution of adipose tissue in the penis is noted.
