How to increase the size of the penis?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have lost 0.5 inches of girth in my penis after stretching it length-wise. It has been four days since and no improvement. My flaccid penis is also slightly hard at all times, similar to a tensed-up muscle. Is this permanent and what should I do to fix it?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The average length of the penis varies from 2.5 to 4 inches in the flaccid state and 4.5 to 6.5 inches in the erect state with a one-inch diameter. Studies recommended flaccid penis length of fewer than 1.6 inches or an erect penis of fewer than 3 inches should be considered for treatment. Longer size will not make females happy rather it will cause discomfort. Like the glans penis sensitive for males, the female sensation will be in the outer part two inches. A bigger penis or small penis has no effect on making a female happy.

A male gets an erotic sensation in the glans penis, another part (shaft) of the penis will not have an erotic stimulus.

The only best method for increasing size is:

  1. Surgical (liposuction around their pubic bone, skin graft).

  2. Injecting fat into the penis.

  3. Injection of HA (Hyaluronic acid) into the penis. Inflatable penile prosthetics are helpful if the size is less than three inches.

Other methods to increase size have very little chance of improvement. The only options you can try are:

  1. Jelqing exercises: Jelqing is an exercise method that is a natural way to increase the size of the penis. It has a hand-over-hand rolling motion to move blood to the head of your penis and stretch it like milking. It is a safe method but can cause pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation if you do it too often or aggressively.

  2. Stretching method: It involves attaching a stretcher or extender device to the penis traction device - to the penis to exert gentle tension.

  3. Penis enlargement pump: Once a morning after or before a bath. Vacuum pumps draw blood into the penis, making it swell, they are used for treating erectile dysfunction. The vacuum pump can make a penis look larger temporarily. But using one too often or too long can damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to fewer firm erections.

  4. Massage oil once a day (except the glans penis) before bath for three months.

I hope this has helped you.

Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
