Patient's Query

Hello doctor

Is it safe for me to use DHT to increase my penis size? Because I am currently looking to get one and want to know if it is the right decision. Kindly suggest.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to iclinq.com.

I read your query and understand the 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 that 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 will not make females happy. Instead, it will cause discomfort. Like the glans penis sensitive for males, the female sensation will be in the outer 2-inch part. A bigger penis or a smaller penis does not affect making a female happy. The male gets an erotic sensation in the glans penis, and another part (the shaft) of the penis will not get an erotic stimulus.

The best method for increasing size is surgical (liposuction around the pubic bone, skin graft), injecting fat into the penis, or injection of HA into the penis. Inflatable penile prosthetics are helpful if the size is less than 3 inches. Another method to increase size, but with very little chance of improvement, is to exercise. Jelqing exercise is an exercise method that is a natural way to increase the size of the penis.

Method: 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 it can cause pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation if you do it too often or aggressively. Stretching method: It involves attaching a stretcher or extender device to the penis traction device to the penis to exert gentle tension.

Other methods include:

  1. Use of the 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.
  2. Use massage oil once a day. Massage it (except the glans penis) before bath for three months.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.
