How to increase my penile length and girth?

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

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 22-year-old male weighing 176 pounds. How can I increase my penile length and girth, and also the time my body requires for ejaculation since all of them have reduced to an alarming level during the last year?

Kindly help.

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

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 recommend treatment for flaccid penis lengths of fewer than 1.6 inches or erect penis lengths of fewer than 3 inches. A longer size may not necessarily bring happiness to females; it might cause discomfort. Similar to the glans penis being sensitive for males, the female sensation is typically in the outer part, around 2 inches. The size of the penis, whether larger or smaller, has no direct impact on female satisfaction.

Males experience erotic sensations in the glans penis; other parts, like the shaft, may not have the same erotic stimulus. The most effective method for increasing size is surgical, involving liposuction around the pubic bone, skin grafts, injecting fat into the penis, or injecting hyaluronic acid (HA). Inflatable penile prosthetics are helpful for sizes less than 3 inches. Other methods with limited chances of improvement include:

Jelqing exercises: This natural method involves a hand-over-hand rolling motion to move blood to the head of the penis, similar to milking. It is relatively safe but can cause pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation if done too often or aggressively.

Stretching method: This involves attaching a stretcher or extender device to the penis to exert gentle tension.

For those looking for temporary effects, using a penis enlargement pump once a morning after or before a bath can draw blood into the penis, making it temporarily swell. However, using it excessively or for too long can damage elastic tissue, leading to fewer firm erections.
