Is penis enlargement surgery a vital necessity or a whim for an insecure man? According to statistics, the majority of men are not averse to enlargement of this organ. And some attach such importance to this aspect that dissatisfaction with the parameters of their organ causes them quite serious psychological disorders, for example, impotence. The average size of a male penis is 12 to 16 cm; anything smaller is considered a deviation from the norm and may be an indicator for surgery. For reference: if the size of the organ is abnormally enlarged, surgery to reduce the penis is used.
Anatomical possibilities for penis enlargement
The particularity of the attachment of its soft tissues to the pubic bones makes it possible to modify the size of the male genital organ. The surgery works with a special ligament, which forms the connection between the corpora cavernosa of the penis and the attachment area. In some cases, its partial dissection makes it possible to enlarge the penis by several centimeters.
An indication for surgical intervention on the penis may be that the size of the organ is too small, sometimes its resting length cannot exceed 2 cm. The patient's desire to change the shape and size of his manhood, especially if the initial parameters cause psychological discomfort, also does not exclude the possibility of plastic surgery operations.
Basic techniques
It would be helpful to mention additional methods, because surgery is not the only way to enlarge the penis.
- Penis enlargement surgery. The essence is the partial intersection of the ligaments that hold the organ in the perineum. In this case, there is no real increase as such; the limb simply falls lower.
- The technique, which does not use a surgical scalpel, consists of wearing a special device: an extension. The method has been proven and tested, is quite safe in comparison with surgery and gives stable results in any state of the organ. The problem is the need to wear it systematically for several months, which is not always practical. But the increase occurs by at least 3 cm without compromising the diameter and power.
- Combined method, i. e. First, a surgical intervention is carried out, then wearing an extender is prescribed.
It is possible to undergo surgery to straighten the penis.
Operation methods
What is penis enlargement surgery? The most common technique is partial dissection of the ligaments holding the genital organ, with the introduction of skin graft elements.
The most recent thickening methods include the use of a so-called biological matrix, consisting of modern polymer materials implanted in the tissues.How can this happen?
It's simple. First, a procedure is carried out to remove the skin from the penis, then an artificial matrix up to 5 mm thick is applied to it, which over time turns into living tissue and becomes part of it. It takes about a year for complete fusion, but sexual activity can begin after 2 months.
Other thickening methods, which involve the implantation of various biological and synthetic materials under the skin of the penis, include:
- Implantation of silicone, biogel, etc.
- Use of biological material (fat, muscle, skin flaps) taken from the buttocks, groin or abdomen.
Endoscopy in andrological surgery
The choice of surgical technique directly depends on the final goal of the event, the achievement of the necessary parameters, including length, diameter and curvature. The surgical plan is discussed by the doctor with the patient based on the medical capabilities and wishes of the man himself.
During endoscopic surgery, all possible visual visualization methods are used. This includes both optical technology and video equipment. The advantages of using video assistance during endoscopic surgery are that there is no need to introduce a special liquid or gas into the working space. With this procedure, local anesthesia can be used if the patient has individual intolerance to general anesthetics. An endoscope with integrated optics is inserted through a small incision, which provides the necessary visual overview. If the operation is successful, the patient can be discharged from the clinic in a few days.
The results can exceed all expectations - an increase of up to 6 cm is possible. The record was set in Scandinavia (from 2 cm to 19 cm). But the average result is about 3 cm, the diameter generally corresponds to the length.
To improve and consolidate the result, it is strongly recommended to use an extender, a device that stretches the organ.
It is of course necessary to start as soon as possible, after agreement with the surgeon, and performing special exercises is not excluded. For this purpose, the simplest techniques have been developed for a long time.
Possible complications
As beautiful as it may seem, phalloplasty does not exclude possible unpleasant consequences:
- During surgery, the wound may become infected.
- Concern about postoperative scarring.
- Necrosis of grafted biomaterials.
- Formation of fatty bumps on the penis.
- Over time, the implanted material may shrink and cause the organ to decrease in size.
- Quite serious scars remain on the donor areas of the body.
The role of sex in overcoming psychological barriers
Sometimes, even after a successful operation, a man experiences some shyness before contacting his partner, relying on previous stereotypes. He always feels like his cock isn't good enough to impress his partner. The problem was probably not the size of the penis, but the pathological uncertainty of its bearer. And this comes from a lack of experience or simply from the fact that a person does not like or even despises himself. Such attitudes usually arise in childhood, but this is already the work of a psychotherapist, whom the man should have contacted before the operation.
In any case, to remove pathological uncertainty requires practice, and as much as possible. But at this time, against the background of psychological disorders, temporary impotence may occur. Here, doctors recommend the use of various herbs and drugs that improve potency, relax and relieve tension. Phosphodiesterase drugs are very useful. These pills should be taken immediately before sexual intercourse, preferably without the partner's knowledge. Although similar products are available commercially and without a prescription, you should consult a specialist before using them, as an unexpected allergic reaction may occur.
Many problems still lie in the human head and not in any other organ. It’s worth thinking about this before deciding to take drastic measures.
