Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My penis is small, and it is not hard. What can I do about this?

Kindly suggest me a solution for this problem.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

The average length of a 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. A few studies recommended that treatment should be considered if the length of a flaccid penis is lesser than 1.6 inches or the length of an erect penis is lesser than 3 inches. A longer penis will not make females happy as it will cause discomfort. Males get an erotic sensation in the glans penis, and the other part of the penis, like the shaft, will not generate an erotic stimulus.

However, I have mentioned a few methods to increase the penis size,

1. The best method for increasing the penis size is through surgical approaches like liposuction around their pubic bone and skin graft, injecting fat into the penis, or injection of HA (hyaluronic acid) into the penis, and also inflatable penile prosthetics are helpful if the size is less than 3 inches.

2. The other methods to increase penis size are jelqing exercise and stretching, but there is less chance of improvement.

3. Jelqing exercises are a natural way to increase the size of the penis. The method to follow the exercise is to make a hand-over-hand rolling motion to improve the blood circulation in the head of the penis and stretch it like milking. It is a safe method but can cause pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation if you do it too often or aggressively.

4. Another method is the stretching method. It involves attaching a stretcher or extender device to the penis traction device, which exerts gentle tension on the penis. You can use a penis enlargement pump once in the morning before or after a bath.

5. Vacuum pumps or vacuum constriction devices can also be used. These penis 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 it too often or too long can damage elastic tissues in the penis, leading to fewer firm erections.

6. Aljins 69 massage oil (ayurvedic oil) can be used once a day to massage (except the glans penis) before bath for three months.

I hope this has helped you.

Take care.
