Men can sometimes feel insecure about their penile size. This can be due to peer comparison, or from the expectations of their sexual partners.
Certain lifestyle modifications can improve penile girth, including dietary influences and an exercise regimen. Stretching or a jelqing technique can also increase girth. However, a healthy perspective on body image and relationships often play more important roles in sexual satisfaction for both partners.
1. Exercise
Many individuals are interested in increasing penile girth, which is the circumference of the shaft when it is erect. This measurement is one of two key dimensions used to describe the size of the penis, the other being length. Exercise is one of the best ways to achieve this goal. However, it’s important to be aware of the risks associated with certain exercises and seek medical guidance if any discomfort or injury occurs.
A number of devices and techniques claim to add girth to the penis, including manual stretching exercises, jelqing and penile traction devices. Jelqing is an ancient Arabic technique that consists of grasping the base of the penis and moving it up the shaft with consistent, moderate pressure. Proponents believe this causes micro-tears that, over time, will increase girth. There is limited scientific evidence supporting this claim, and improper technique could cause injury. Penile traction devices, which look like complicated knee braces, consist of a ring that fits snugly around the base of the penis and another situated near the head. These devices use adjustable rods that extend and retract to “grow” the penis over time.
Penile girth may vary among individuals for many reasons, including genetics, hormonal influences and age. In addition, some individuals might tie their sense of masculinity and attractiveness to specific penile dimensions. However, it’s essential to remember that a fulfilling sexual relationship involves more than physical attributes.
2. Diet
Eating a healthy diet can help to add girth to the penis. Foods such as watermelon, dark chocolates, eggs, bananas, and carrots are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that can promote genital health by improving blood flow to the genitals and helping to synthesise male sex hormones. Bananas, for example, are high in potassium, which can help to improve blood flow and increase erection size by increasing the rigidity of the penis. Drinking a cup of coffee every day can also improve blood circulation to the penis and can boost libido.
Many men have a personal desire to increase the length or girth of their penis, often due to social and cultural expectations. For some, a larger penis may enhance sexual pleasure and lead to greater satisfaction with their partner. However, it’s important to remember that sexual satisfaction and pleasure are determined by more than just physical characteristics.
Some individuals can experience problems that reduce their ability to achieve and maintain an erection, such as Peyronie’s disease. The condition causes the formation of fibrous plaques or scar tissue within the penis, which can result in a reduction in girth and impact sexual function. Others can suffer from a congenital penile curvature that causes the penis to bend or curve during erections. These problems are typically managed with a combination of dietary influences and an exercise regimen.
3. Supplements
No natural method exists to make the penis bigger permanently, though manscaping can help it look thicker. But dietary changes can improve sexual function and erectile quality, experts say. A balanced diet rich in nutrients, including a lot of fruits and vegetables, can improve blood flow to the penis. This can increase the length, strength and firmness of erections.
Some supplements and creams claim to enlarge the penis, but urologists caution against using these products. These may contain herbs, hormones, vitamins and minerals that can have adverse health effects. Over-the-counter lotions that promise to enlarge the penis may also contain contaminants like pesticides, they warn.
Pumping the penis on a regular basis to increase its size can cause tissue damage and oxygen deprivation, experts say. It also may not give a permanent effect. But there is a product called a penile extender or cock ring that establishes a vacuum to help sustain an erection and add girth.
Some men also use a device known as a penis pump to help with erectile dysfunction or sexual pleasure. The pumps draw blood into the penis to create a temporary erection, but they can damage the penis tissue and reduce erection quality. A sex therapist can teach you how to pump properly for maximum results and avoid injuries or pain.
4. Surgery
There are many different ways to enhance penile size, ranging from lifestyle changes to medical procedures. Dietary influences and an exercise regimen increase vascular health, which can improve the appearance of the penis. Hormonal influence can also impact girth, as testosterone levels play a role in erectile function and growth. However, it is important to remember that sexual satisfaction and overall well-being are not primarily determined by the size of the penis. Open communication and a positive self-image are equally important to a successful relationship.
Surgical options to add girth to the penis include ligament transection and fat transfer. Ligament transection involves cutting the suspensory ligament that connects the non-visible portion of the shaft to the body. This causes the head of the penis to hang lower, giving it an appearance of added length when flaccid. This method is generally only recommended for men whose penises are too short because of injury or birth defect.
Another option is dermal fillers, which use hyaluronic acid to plump the treatment area and add girth. Dr. Bloy has perfected a technique that uses safe fillers to instantly increase the circumference of the penis for a fuller, more youthful appearance. It is very similar to the way that dermal fillers are used to enlarge and rejuvenate facial features. The procedure is completely painless and can be completed in 30 – 60 minutes in his office.
