Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 39-year-old male concerned about the size of my penis, which measures around 1.6 inches. Are there any safe and effective methods or treatments to achieve an enlargement to around 3 inches?

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

The average length of the penis varies measuring between 2.5 to 4 inches in its flaccid state and 4.5 to 6.5 inches when erect, with a diameter of approximately 1 inch. Studies suggest that individuals with a flaccid penis length of less than 1.6 inches or an erect penis length of fewer than 3 inches may consider medical intervention or treatment.

Increasing penis size may not necessarily result in improved satisfaction for sexual partners and can even lead to discomfort. For most individuals, sexual pleasure for women is primarily focused on the outer two inches, making the size of the penis less relevant. Just as the glans of the penis is sensitive for males, the sensitivity for females is concentrated in the outer portion, and thus, a larger or smaller penis has limited influence on a woman's sexual satisfaction.

The most effective methods for increasing penis size involve surgical procedures, such as liposuction around the pubic bone, skin grafts, injection of fat or hyaluronic acid (HA) into the penis, and the use of inflatable penile prosthetics in cases where the size is less than 3 inches. There are alternative methods to try, although they offer a smaller chance of improvement:

  1. Jelqing exercises - Jelqing is a natural method that involves a hand-over-hand rolling motion to promote blood flow and stretch the penis. However, it should be performed with caution, as frequent attempts can lead to pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation.
  2. Stretching method - This method entails using a stretcher or extender device to apply gentle tension to the penis, with the goal of promoting gradual growth.
  3. Penis enlargement pump: The use of a penis enlargement pump can temporarily increase the size of the penis by drawing blood into it. But, excessive or prolonged use may damage the elastic tissue in the penis, reducing the quality of erections.

I would also suggest you apply Aljins 69 Massage Oil (natural herbs and oils), excluding the glans of the penis, through massage once a day before bathing for a duration of three months.

Consult your specialist doctor before pursuing any methods to alter penis size, especially surgical procedures, as they carry inherent risks and may not always yield the desired results.

Hope this information helps you.

Thank you.
