There are many rumors and invented legends about the male penis, but it is necessary to understand that from a physiological point of view, the normal length of the erect penis falls within the framework of 12-18 cm.
Effective penis enlargement is possible not only through surgery, but also through various methods that do not require surgical intervention in the male body. This includes:
- The use of vacuum pumps promotes significant blood flow to the male penis. After achieving a stable erection, the penis is compressed at the very base with all kinds of devices, for example, latex rings. This technique prevents the outflow of blood from the cavernous bodies of the penis, and its length increases by several centimeters compared to a normal physiological erection without various aids. However, it should be remembered that the use of vacuum pumps is not a therapeutic method, but is based on the physiological characteristics of the male body. After stopping the use of vacuum devices, the penis instantly regains its normal size. Keep in mind that the disadvantage of using pumps can be organ swelling, the presence of hematoma due to rupture of blood vessels, as well as impaired erectile function of the penis.
- Using all kinds of weights, devices and "special" exercises for penis enlargement is nothing more than an advertising campaign by dubious manufacturers who produce "effective" devices that guarantee instant results. The male genital organ cannot be pumped up or stretched with the help of weights or dumbbells. Their use can cause organ injury or cause the ligaments that hold the penis to rupture. Penis stretching can be performed only after surgical treatment under the supervision of a specialist with the help of special extenders (combined enlargement method). Such devices can be used without surgery. Their efficiency is quite high.
tip:In order to avoid wasting money and later disappointments, you should not buy all kinds of creams for external use and other "healing" drugs intended to increase the size of the penis. They carry no therapeutic load and are completely ineffective.

Ways to change the thickness
There are several basic ways to increase the diameter of your penis. This includes surgical interventions, conservative, i. e. non-surgical methods, folk remedies and special exercises.
Surgical methods
In order to achieve a guaranteed increase in the volume of the penis, surgery is usually performed.
There are 2 main ways to thicken the body of the male organ. This:
- lipofilling. The essence of this operation is that fat tissue taken from subcutaneous folds in other parts of the body is injected into the penis. The literal translation of the name of the operation is "fat filling". The girth of the penis becomes more voluminous. First, material is taken from the person from the places that are richest in fatty tissue. The resulting material is cleaned of foreign elements so that only fat remains. It is drawn into a syringe, microscopic cannulas are connected to it and injected under the skin of the genital organ. The duration of the operation is about an hour. The recovery period lasts about a month. An important advantage of lipofilling is that the thickening of the penis in this way does not cause a reaction of rejection of the injected material. The achieved result lasts a lifetime. With the help of lipofilling, the penis adds 1-1. 5 cm in volume;
- microsurgical muscle transplantation. This is a more complex operation. In this case, there is a thickening of the genital organ due to the transplantation of part of the muscle tissue under the skin of the reproductive organ. It is most often taken from the gluteal region. The tissue is wrapped around the organ. This allows you to increase the width of the penis by 3-4 cm. Muscle transplantation takes several hours and requires 2-3 months of recovery;
- implantation of balls. The essence of the manipulation is the implantation of balls made of hypoallergenic materials under the skin of the penis. This allows you to increase it in certain areas. In that case, the man should take into account the risk of complications: development of the inflammatory process and rejection of the injected materials;
- injection of hyaluronic acid under the skin of the penis. Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that is produced in the tissues and cartilage of the body. It is natural for the body, so it is not discarded. Special filler gels containing hyaluronic acid are used to thicken the penis. These are Restylane, Auro Secret, Macroline. The procedure lasts 30-60 minutes. Hyaluronic injections do not thicken the male reproductive organ forever: the effect usually lasts 8-12 months.
Indications for quick troubleshooting
Indications for quick resolution of the problem are:
- congenital or acquired pathologies of the reproductive system;
- dysfunction of sexual function due to dissatisfaction with organ volume;
- inability to achieve satisfaction during sexual intercourse.
To make the male organ thicker, you should first consult a doctor.

Non-surgical methods
Increasing the volume of the penis can be achieved without surgery. It is about the use of special devices, the use of folk remedies and the performance of special exercises.
Thickening of the penis with an extender
An extender is a device that is usually used to increase the length of the penis, but it can also be used for thickening.
This device stretches the tissues of the phallus, causing micro-tears to form in them. After that, they form scars, due to which the penis becomes much larger.
Any type of extender can be used to thicken the penis.
Such devices increase the width of the penis by 2-3 centimeters.
You have to wear the device for several hours a day - from 3 to 5. At night, the extender must be removed, because an erection during sleep can cause organ damage.
Folk recipes
Increasing the thickness of the penis can be achieved using the following folk remedies:
- infusion of ginseng root. Take 20 g of ground ginseng root and cover with 200 ml of 70% alcohol. Leave in a dark place and let it stand for a week. Take 20-30 drops half an hour before meals every day;
- homemade ointment to increase the diameter of the penis. It is necessary to take 100 g of dried leeches, mix with 200 g of melted lamb fat, mix well. Rub the ointment into the skin of the penis every night before going to bed;
- thyme infusion. For preparation, take 100 g of dry plant, pour a glass of boiling water over it. Let it cook for 30 minutes. Take chilled, 2-3 tablespoons, 2 times a day after meals.
Before you start using folk remedies, you should consult a specialist: even natural ingredients can cause allergies.
Penis enlargement using a vacuum pump
Another way to effectively increase the width of the penis is to use the Penimaster vacuum pump. It is a device with a transparent bulb and a device that pumps air out of it.
To increase the volume, place the penis in the flask and, gradually pumping out the air, create an area of low pressure around it.
In such conditions, the blood circulation increases, the tissues of the penis slightly swell and stretch, increase in size. New parameters are only stored if you use the device constantly.
Ligamentotomy
Ligamentotomy can be justified if the length of the penis does not exceed 10 cm in erection
This operation aims to enlarge the male reproductive organ by cutting and subsequently fixing the pelvic ligament, which is responsible for holding the penis. Thanks to this method, doctors manage to free about 3-5 cm of the inner part of the penis. Previously, similar surgical techniques were performed with circumcision of the foreskin of the penis in men. Modern methods make it possible to avoid this and preserve it while simultaneously increasing the reproductive organ.
Ligamentotomy is considered a simple operation (not as complex as penile amputation) and takes about half an hour. It should be noted that when the reproductive organ is enlarged, surgery on the testicles in men can be performed in parallel (for example, if pathologies are detected, varicocele surgery can be prescribed), however, the feasibility of such an intervention can only be determined by the attending physician. After penile plastic surgery, the patient can stay in the urology department for about a day. After a two-week period after the ligamentotomy, the sutures are removed.
tip:In order to avoid deviation of the surgical sutures on the penis, it is recommended to abstain from sexual relations after ligamentotomy for up to 3 weeks.
Surgical thickening2
Some doctors offer a procedure in which the patient's own fat or a similar artificial substance is injected into the patient's penis. This is sterilized tissue collected from donor skin. It is wrapped under the skin of the penis (like seaweed for wrapping sushi), thus increasing the circumference of the organ.
By the way, artificial material was not originally intended for such manipulations. This substance is used to treat burns and in reconstructive surgery, not to enlarge the male reproductive organ. There are reports in the medical literature of complications such as infection and skin necrosis.
Is it possible to increase the thickness of the penis?
It is necessary to refrain from intercourse for 4-5 weeks in order not to damage the penis
It is possible to increase the thickness of the male reproductive organ. To achieve this, a low-traumatic operation is performed: the skin of the penis is pierced with a special instrument for introducing the patient's own fatty tissue or with a special gel. After it is performed, a protective bandage is placed on the penis.
Keep in mind that this operation can lead to the localization of fatty tissue in a certain place of the penis, which leads to its unevenness and tuberosity of the organ. In order to avoid complications and tissue inflammation, different polymer penile prostheses are used to increase the thickness of the penis, ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the organ and not affecting the quality of its functionality.
Non-surgical methods
Non-surgical correction methods are also useful for men who want to enlarge their penis. They are considered safer than surgery. Another advantage of the methods is the availability of their application at home.
Characteristics of the postoperative period
The most effective way to lengthen the penis is considered a combined technique, which includes the use of an extender after surgery and the use of jelqing (the performance of special massages of the reproductive organ to change its length). Let's look at the characteristics of these methods:
- Using an extender after surgery can significantly improve the effect of organ enlargement. In addition, this device helps to correct its curvature and restore the correct anatomical position. The younger the patient, the more noticeable the effect of applying the combined method.
- As for jelking, this massage technique should be performed after surgical organ lengthening for 2-3 months every day for at least 1 hour a day. Massage manipulations on the penis are performed by the patient with the hands in the erection of the organ and involve its stretching. Jelqing increases blood flow to the penis and increases its size.
Before you decide on such a drastic step as increasing the volume of the penis through surgery, you should consider that, despite its effectiveness, no expert will be able to predict the final result. Possible postoperative complications include penile tissue scarring and infection. In addition, there is often a decrease in the sensitivity of the organ, a change in the position of the penis during erection is possible, because its original anatomical position is disturbed, and even the development of impotence (extremely rare).
No more than a third of all patients are satisfied with the result of surgical enlargement of the male reproductive organ. As practice shows, the organ can be extended by 1 to 4 cm. No surgeon can give exact guarantees.
Massage and exercise

The purpose of exercises and massage of the genital organ is to expand the cavernous bodies. During excitement, they increase in size, accommodating the rush of blood. The greater the capacity of the body, the greater the thickness of the genital organ.
The result of manual manipulation on the penis becomes visible after the treatment. If necessary, after a short break, repeated sessions are held.
Exercises should be performed with a special technique. Its violation leads to organ injuries. The effectiveness of the exercises depends on the regularity of the exercises for penis enlargement. The load during exercise should increase over time.
The most common and effective exercises include the following:
- You should extend the penis as much as possible and then tilt it in different directions. In each of them, the organ is fixed for 10 seconds.
- Holding your fingers firmly at the bottom of the penis, you need to move towards the head and squeeze it even harder for a few seconds. This exercise is repeated at least 10 times.
- Massage the base of the penis with your index finger and thumb, carefully stretching the skin. The movements gradually change to patting and pinching.
Extender
The extender is a modern device designed to stretch the penis with the help of a special load. The total period of wearing the extender is 2 months. Wearing it for a long time can be harmful to health, because it puts pressure on the genital organ.
The process of stretching the penis increases tissue elasticity and stimulates cell growth. When the organ is in a state of erection, swelling occurs as a result of blood flow.

The effect is achieved as a result of constant stretching of the tissues of the penis, which leads to their growth and, as a result, a change in volume.
This helps to increase its volume. On average, the monthly increase in parameters is 5 ml. After 2 months of wearing the device, the penis increases by 1 cm. The maximum possible result (with long-term use of the extender) is 4 cm.

The efficiency of the procedure is affected by the following factors:
- The regularity of placing the device. To achieve the desired effect, it must be worn daily.
- Hormonal status. If the problem is caused by a lack of testosterone, then wearing an extender will be useless.
- The original structure of the organ.
- Man's years. At a more mature age, it is more difficult to change anatomical data than at a younger age.
Extenders can be loop, vacuum, with elastic straps and vacuum-adhesive.
Vacuum pump
The action of the vacuum pump is based on alternating pressure on the genital organ. The pump is a device consisting of a bulb for the penis and a lever for supplying air.
We suggest you familiarize yourself with: Seal at the bottom of the penis
After placing the penis in the flask, negative pressure is applied which stimulates blood flow to the pelvic organs. Because of this, congestion is eliminated.
With regular use, the vacuum pump increases the volume of the penis at home.
As a result of its use, erection problems are eliminated and the thickness of the penis increases. Negative aspects include short-term preservation of results.
When choosing a pump, it is advisable to pay attention to what it is made of. The most suitable material would be hypoallergenic. The desire to save money in this case is inappropriate. The parts of the device must be solid and wear-resistant.
Ointments and creams
The main advantage of creams and ointments for penis thickening is the local method of use. Active components do not enter the circulatory system. Therefore, side effects develop in rare cases.
After applying such products, an irritating effect occurs. It improves blood circulation, encouraging blood flow to the reproductive organs.
Active components are plant extracts and exotic substances. The effect of using local products is almost immediate. They are applied immediately before sexual intercourse. The penis becomes more voluminous, the erection improves and the man's endurance increases.
The disadvantages of creams and ointments include a short-term effect. It does not last more than 1-2 days. Before use, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the list of contraindications and the possibility of side effects. Among them are allergic reactions to the components.
An integrated approach will help increase the size of the penis. The effect will be more visible when several techniques are combined at once.
Surgery and other methods

The most effective way to enlarge the penis is surgical
Methods for thickening the penis at home are ineffective, so surgery is still the best way to enlarge the penis. If it is necessary to increase the volume, a ligamentotomy is used. During the procedure, the length and volume of the penis increases. The disadvantage is the high risk of complications and the overall traumatic nature of the procedure.
An alternative method is injections of hyaluronic acid in gel form. Using a syringe, the doctor injects along the entire length of the penis, evenly injecting a small amount of gel. It fills the soft structures of the penis and slightly stretches them, resulting in an increase in volume of approximately 1-4 cm, depending on the original dimensions. The effect of the injection lasts for about a year, and then the procedure can be repeated.
What affects the thickness of the penis?
If the penis is wide, it provides additional stimulation during intercourse
Before you understand how you can increase the thickness of the penis, you should understand whether a man needs it. The normal girth of the penis is from 10 to 15 cm. According to statistics, most men have a penis 13-16 cm long and about 12 cm in volume.
The large volume of the genital organ provides:
- better stimulation of the vaginal opening,
- tighter girth of the penis against the walls of the vagina,
- better erectile control,
- vivid sensations during orgasm.
If the woman's vagina tightly squeezes the penis, the man feels additional stimulation along the entire length of the penis. This increases the sensitivity of the head and improves the sensation during orgasm.
It has been proven that women experience orgasm by stimulating the first five centimeters from the entrance to the vagina. A large penis creates the effect of fullness, which increases female arousal and lubrication production. As a result, a woman reaches orgasm faster.
It is important to understand that a large penis is not a prerequisite for satisfying a woman. Many women claim that they enjoy the same with partners whose penises are of different thicknesses.
How to make a tightening?
Clamping is a new technique during which the erect penis is clamped at the base with a special ring or clamp. The procedure thickens the volume of the penis and improves erection due to increased blood flow. Only special erectile rings are used for tightening. You can not use other improvised items, because they will damage the skin of the penis.
Before using the ring, you must carefully inspect it to make sure there is no damage. It is also recommended to pre-treat it with lubricant. This will reduce the likelihood of discomfort when using the ring.Experts recommend that tightening is done immediately before sexual intercourse, because this procedure has a short-term effect.
Surgical methods
To increase the girth of the penis, some use more radical methods, which include surgery. Surgery to change the size of the reproductive organ is performed only when all other methods have failed.
The main advantage of this method is its high efficiency, which allows you to achieve excellent results. Disadvantages of the method include:
- the complexity of the procedure,
- high probability of complications,
- long postoperative recovery.
Today, various surgical methods are used to increase the width of the organ.
Lipofilling
Lipofilling is the most common surgical method of thickening the reproductive organ. The essence of the procedure is the transplantation of the patient's fat tissue into the subcutaneous integument of the phallus.
Transplantation of muscle tissue
In order to increase the thickness of the reproductive organ, muscle tissue transplantation is often performed. This allows the penis to be thicker by 3-4 cm. One of the differences between this procedure and lipofilling is the recovery period, which lasts about 7 months.
Addition of cartilaginous tissue
To achieve increased penile volume, cartilage tissue is sometimes implanted into the penis. This procedure is very complex, because during its implementation, all tissues of the reproductive organ are separated. It is recommended to use this method if you need not only to add volume to the penis, but also to correct its shape. The main disadvantage of the operation is the complexity of its implementation, which sometimes leads to the following complications:
- inflammatory processes,
- reduced sensitivity of the head,
- the appearance of scars,
- erectile dysfunction,
- rejection of transplanted tissues.
Also, many consider the recovery period, which lasts about a year, to be the main drawback.
Ball implantation
More and more often, in order to increase the volume, guys turn to specialists for the implantation of small balls under the skin of the phallus. Such products are made of hypoallergenic materials that are absolutely safe. To place the balls, they seek help from body modifiers or regular surgeons who specialize in such operations.
Using balls, the width of the penis increases only in certain areas. However, this is also enough for additional stimulation of the partner's vaginal walls.
After the balls are implanted under the skin, there are certain restrictions on sex. For example, it is not allowed to have sexual intercourse for too long, as it will cause severe skin irritation.
Which doctor should I contact?

Before using medical and traditional methods of penis enlargement, a consultation with a urologist is recommended
If after exercises and training that increase the penis, no results are noticed, and the use of extenders and pumps is unacceptable to a man, it is recommended not to engage in self-medication, but to consult a doctor. It is necessary to consult with a urologist (andrologist) about other options for increasing the size of the penis. If the doctor sees an urgent need for surgery, he will offer the patient several options to solve the problem.
