Is penis enlargement surgery a necessity or a fad for an insecure man? According to statistics, most men are not against increasing this organ. And some attach such importance to this aspect that dissatisfaction with the parameters of their organ causes them quite serious psychological disorders, for example, impotence. The average size of the male penis is from 12 to 16 cm, anything smaller is considered a deviation from the norm and may be an indicator of surgery. For reference: if the size of the organ is abnormally increased, penis reduction surgery is used.
Anatomical options for penis enlargement
The peculiarity of the attachment of its soft tissues to the pubic bones allows you to change the size of the male genital organ. The surgery works with a special ligament that is the connecting link between the corpora cavernosa of the penis and the attachment zone. In some cases, its partial dissection allows the penis to increase by several centimeters.
An indication for penile surgery can be that the size of the organ is too small, sometimes its length at rest can be no more than 2 cm. The patient's desire to change the shape and size of his manhood, especially if the initial parameters cause psychological discomfort, also does not exclude the possibility of plastic surgery.
Basic techniques
It would be useful to mention additional methods, since surgery is not the only way to enlarge the penis.
- Penis enlargement surgery. The essence is the partial crossing of the ligaments that hold the organ in the perineum. In this case, there is no real increase as such, the member simply falls lower.
- The technique, which does not involve a surgical scalpel, consists in wearing a special device - an extender. The method is tried and tested, quite safe compared to surgery and gives stable results in any condition of the organ. The problem is the need to wear it systematically for several months, which is not always comfortable. But the increase is at least 3 cm, without disturbing the diameter and strength.
- Combined method, i. e. First, an operation is performed, after which it is prescribed to wear an expander.
It is possible to undergo surgery to straighten the penis.
Operative methods
What is penis enlargement surgery? The most common technique is a partial dissection of the ligaments holding the genital organ with the introduction of elements of skin grafting.
The latest methods of thickening include the use of a so-called biological matrix, consisting of modern polymer materials implanted in tissue.how does this happen
It's simple. First, a procedure is performed to remove the skin from the penis, after which an artificial matrix with a thickness of up to 5 mm is placed on it, which over time grows into living tissues, becoming part of them. It takes about a year for complete fusion, but sexual activity can begin after 2 months.
Additional methods of thickening, which involve the implantation of various biological and synthetic materials under the skin of the penis, include:
- Implantation of silicone, biogel, etc.
- The use of biological material (fat, muscle, skin flaps) taken from the buttocks, groin or abdomen.
Endoscopy in andrological surgery
The choice of surgical technique directly depends on the ultimate goal of the event, achieving the necessary parameters, including length, diameter and bending. The surgical plan is discussed by the doctor together with the patient based on the medical possibilities and wishes of the person himself.
During endoscopic surgery, all possible methods of visual observation are used. This includes both optical technology and video equipment. The advantages of using video assistance during endoscopic surgery are that it is not necessary to introduce a special liquid or gas into the working space. In this procedure, local anesthesia can be used if the patient has an individual intolerance to general anesthetics. An endoscope with built-in optics is inserted through a small incision, which provides the necessary visual visibility. If the operation was successful, the patient can be discharged from the clinic within a few days.
The results can exceed all expectations - an increase of up to 6 cm is possible. The record was set in Scandinavia (from 2 cm to 19 cm). But the average result is about 3 cm. The diameter usually corresponds to the length.
To improve and consolidate the result, it is highly recommended to use an expander - a device that stretches the organ.
You should start as early as possible, of course after the approval of the surgeon, and it is possible to do special exercises. For this purpose, the simplest techniques have long been developed.
Possible complications
As beautiful as everything sounds, phalloplasty does not exclude possible unpleasant consequences:
- During the operation, the wound can become infected.
- Concerns about post-operative scarring.
- Necrosis of grafted biomaterials.
- Formation of fatty bumps on the penis.
- Over time, the implanted material may shrink and the organ may decrease in size.
- Quite serious scars remain on the donor body parts.
The role of sex in overcoming psychological barriers
Sometimes, even after a successful operation, a man experiences some shyness before contacting his partner, relying on previous stereotypes. He still feels that his member is not good enough to impress his partner. The problem was most likely not in the size of the penis, but in the pathological insecurity of its carrier. And it arises from a lack of experience or simply due to the fact that a person does not love himself or even despises himself. Such attitudes usually arise in childhood, but this is already the work of a psychotherapist, with whom the man should contact before the operation.
In any case, to eliminate pathological uncertainty, you need practice and as much as possible. But by this time, against the background of psychological disorders, temporary impotence may occur. Here, doctors recommend the use of various herbs and drugs that increase potency, relax and relieve tension. Phosphodiesterase drugs help a lot. These pills should be taken immediately before intercourse, preferably without the partner knowing about it. Despite the fact that such products are available commercially and without a prescription, you should consult a specialist before using them, as an unexpected allergic reaction may occur.
Many problems are still in the person's head and not in any other organ. It's worth thinking about before you decide to take drastic measures.
