Male Enhancement Procedures

Penis enlargement procedures are techniques alleged to make the human penis larger. These procedures range from manual exercises to devices and medical interventions, with reports of successes and failures around the world, but, while some are known to be hoaxes, there is no popularly known scientific proof about their effectiveness in general.

A related method involves injection of silicone, PMMA, and other materials into the penis and scrotum, to achieve girth penis enlargement. The results of the study into penile augmentation surgery mentioned above confirm that surgical techniques used to thicken the penis are far more effective than those designed to increase penile length. In the research sample of men studied, flaccid circumference following the above procedure had increased from an average of 3.1 inches to an average of 4.1 inches, whilst erect penile circumference increased from an average of 4.1 inches before surgery to 4.8 inches after surgery but is effectively irreversible and may have side effects including loss of sensation, inability to perform penetrative intercourse, scarring, and deformation.

No scientific research supports the use of any nonsurgical method to enlarge the penis, and no reputable medical society endorses penis enlargement surgery performed for purely cosmetic reasons.

Penis enlargement pills or ointments are commonly offered over the Internet. Analyses performed by Flora Research of California and by the University of Maryland have uncovered harmful contaminants in a number of penis enlargement pills. Contaminants found included mold, yeast, dangerous E. coli bacteria, pesticides, and lead. Dr. Michael Donnenberg of the University of Maryland has described herbal pills marketed as having “heavy fecal contamination”, possibly from animals grazing near the plants harvested for herbal ingredients. There may however be a placebo effect i.e. a psychological effect of making the user think he has a larger penis, and increasing his confidence, when there is no actual change to his penis size. Some people have also reported that such pills make them feel sexually aroused, and give them harder erections, but again, without any actual growth of the penis.
