Can I do anything to increase my penis size?

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

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My penis is small in both length and girth. It not even measures 4 inches. I just need to know is there anything I can do to make it normal.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read and understood your problem.

  • You have not mentioned whether your 4 inches size is on erection or in flaccid state.
  • There is no medically proven treatment to increase penis size. It cannot be increased unless you have hormonal problems.
  • Size of penis varies from person to person, like other physical features such as height, etc. On an average, it ranges from 3.5 inches to 5.5 inches on erection.
  • In pornographic films they show big penis by injecting drugs, etc., which is harmful and so most people have wrong ideas about penis size.
  • You can test serum testosterone and LH (luteinizing hormone). If they are low, then hormone treatment can help.
  • Sometimes, vacuum erection pumps help. But, can cause injury if not properly used.
  • Moreover lose weight, because one inch of your penis is hidden under your belly fat. Pull your penis and measure the length. Also, pull it daily for 5-10 minutes from under belly fat.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Sorry for not mentioning earlier. It is less than 4 inches when erect. The pictures which I have sent are flaccid ones.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

  • Fine, then first measure it in erect state after pulling from under belly fat.
  • If less than 4 inches, then do hormone tests as advised.
