Hi,

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 1-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 sizes would not make females happy, and it would cause discomfort. A bigger penis or small penis does not affect making a female happy. The only best method for increasing size is surgical (liposuction around the pubic bone or skin graft), injecting fat into the penis, or injection of HA (hyaluronic acid) into the penis. Inflatable penile prosthetics are helpful if the size is less than 3 inches. Another method to increase size is by trying Jelqing exercises. Jelqing is an exercise method that is a natural way to increase the size of the penis. Hand-over-hand rolling motion to move blood to the head of your penis. It is a safe method but can cause pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation if you do it too often or aggressively. Vacuum pumps are used for treating erectile dysfunction. The vacuum pump can make a penis look larger temporarily. But using one too frequently or too long can damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to fewer firm erections.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
