Methods and Home Remedy to increase penis size

Non-surgical remedies include a number of products available in the market claiming to make your sex life better by enhancing the male sex organ. A simple word of advice is to stay away from all such products and more so from quacks setting up tents by the roadside claiming to cure your problems using natural products.

• Pills 
  Vitamins are widely available over-the-counter products and are also prescribed quite freely by physicians to treat various conditions. The most common penis enlargement pills are multivitamin pills; however, there is absolutely no scientific evidence to justify the use of vitamins in penis enlargement. In fact, unnecessary intake of vitamins can be detrimental to one’s health. Excess of vitamin intake like vitamin A, D, E and K can cause their excess accumulation in the body to toxic levels leading to adverse effects. Thus, it is necessary that you take vitamins only when you have a vitamin deficiency, and never without a doctor’s prescription.
• Lotions and creams
  Yet another non-surgical technique is the application of lotions and creams to the male organ just before intercourse. Although massaging the penis using the product can give a feel-good sensation due to the rubbing action over the penis, there is no such drug available that can enhance the penile length merely by its external application.
• Oils and natural medicines
  Although there are a number of massage oils in the market being advertised for enlargement of the penis, there is not enough scientific evidence to prove their efficacy. However, certain ingredients commonly found in some essential oils have been proven to improve overall sexual activity. A few of these ingredients are:
  • Butea superba: Proven to improve penile erection. 
  • Panax ginseng: Improves penile erection in men with erectile dysfunction.
  • Gingko biloba: May help with sexual arousal.

These oils have been associated with skin allergies, hence it is very risky to use such products without the consent of your partner and the advice of your doctor. Doing a patch test to rule out the possibility of an allergy before using these products can prove beneficial. 

• Exercise
  A commonly suggested exercise is ‘jelqing’. In this exercise, you have to repeatedly use your thumb and index finger to pull the flaccid penis so that it becomes erect. The science behind this stretching exercise points at increasing the blood supply to the penis, thereby increasing its length and circumference and resulting in a penis size greater than the normal erect size. However, there is no scientific evidence to prove that jelqing increases the length of the erect penis.
• Penile extenders
  In this technique, a traction device is attached to the flaccid penis. The traction device may be a weight or a frame that stretches the penis and causes an erection. There is scientific evidence that the use of extender devices in men who complained of a small penis showed positive results, with an increase in length and girth of the erect penis. Penile extenders from several manufacturing companies are available in the market; however, there is a possibility of some negative effects with their use. There are chances of tissue injury to the skin surrounding the penis due to the device. Some men complain of curving of the penis with the use of the extender device, a condition commonly known as Peyronie’s disease. 
• Vacuum pump
  A widely advertised option available in the market for enlargement of the penis is a vacuum pump called a penis pump. However, the claims made by this device are false, as it cannot enlarge a penis that can have an erection normally. Nevertheless, in the case of erectile dysfunction, the vacuum pump can be useful in maintaining an erection. The vacuum pump is used by placing a tube over the penis and pumping the air out of it to create a vacuum, thereby drawing blood into the penis and causing it to swell. However, penis pumps can be harmful if used for long and can permanently damage the elastic tissue of the penis, leading to a reduction in the firmness of penis during erections. 

There are many surgical options available for the enlargement of the penis. However, most of these options are used for men suffering from micropenis or erectile dysfunction. Although the same type of surgical procedures can be tried in men dealing with a short penis, they may not be completely successful. Let’s look at the various surgical options available to enhance the size of the male organ.

• Penile augmentation
  This surgery attempts to increase the circumference of the penis in the following ways:
  • Fat removed from your own body will be injected into your penis to augment the girth and length of your penis. It is a less invasive form of surgery and does not show any foreign body reaction, as the fat is from your own body. In some cases, repeated procedures may be required as the fat can get reabsorbed in the body and the penis may return to its original size. Moreover, there can be scars at the site of this graft surgery.
  • Liquid silicone, hyaluronic acid, polyacrylamide and mineral oil may be injected into your penis in order to increase the girth and length of the penis. However, these injectables may trigger a foreign body or an allergic reaction.
• Suspensory ligament release
  In this procedure, a small cut (V-Y cut) is made in one of the ligaments that hold the penis in place i.e., the suspensory ligament which attaches the penis to the pelvic bone behind. The cut in the ligament makes the penis appear lengthy as it hangs down. If the surgery is not a complete success, it can be corrected by placing a vascularised flap between the pubis and the severed ligament. The shortcomings of this method are penile shortening after a while and loss of support to the erect penis, leading to difficulty in penetration.
  An advancement of the V-Y cut surgery is closing the V-Y incision with a graft. However, the graft can lead to unhealed wounds and cause infections.
• Suprapubic lipectomy
  It is performed in men with a buried penis to increase the perceptive length of the penis by removing the fat surrounding the penis.
• Penis disassembly
  In this procedure, your penis will be separated along with the neurovascular bundle from the surrounding structures, then an autologous rib cartilage graft is placed and the penis is reassembled.
• Flap reconstruction
  If the penile shortening is due to a lack of soft tissue or tethering of the penis on the dorsal bone, then a flap made of local tissue can be grafted to lengthen the penis.
