<h1>Penis enlargement methods and Men's Health</h1> <p align=right>by Yiannis Chalkias</p> <div align=justify>The size of the male genitalia has always been surrounded by many different views and opinions. A large penis has in many cultures been synonymous with male power, masculinity and so forth. In some cultures men with small penises have been ridiculed because of the symbolic connection between penile size and other personal virtues and physical achievements. The perception of the penis size as an outer sign of a mans inner values has caused frustration and devastation of many men through history and is still in our time a present and forceful paradigm. Different cultures developed their own penis enlarger devices and methods. The following text is a summary of all the different penis enlargement methods that is on the market right now. The first column goes through the self-treatment methods (i.e. penis enlarger) and the second column goes through the surgical methods. This is a survey to give an adequate picture of the different penis enlargement methods and account for the effects and risks of the various treatments. Self-treatment methods Pills Penis enlargement pills are mainly provided over the internet and they vary considerably in effects. A large part of the enlargement pills have no effect, but some pills can enhance the blood flow, which in some cases causes a slightly longer erect penis. Penis enlargement pills can contain herbal ingredients like ginkgo biloba, a stimulant and vasodilator, and yohimbe, a sexual stimulant. The ingredients can enhance the sexual energy and performance, but do not enlarge the penis. Clinical studies done by Flora Research of California and by the University of Maryland have shown that many of the penis enlargement pills on the market contain harmful contaminants as: mold, yeast, dangerous E. coli bacteria, pesticides, and lead. The herbal pills often contains heavy fecal contamination, because of the herbals have been harvested in areas where animals are grazing. However the enlargement pills can result in a placebo effect or psychological effect making the user think he has a larger penis, which is in fact wrong. Pumps Another penis enlargement method is the vacuum pump, also called the penis pump. The principle is that you put a cylinder around your penis and suck air out of the cylinder either manually or with a motorized pump. There are two purposes in using a penis pump. Some men who suffer from impotence use the penis pump to get an erection by placing a compression ring at the base of the penis and use the vacuum pump. This method can be effective but contains severe risks. Many people have by frequent use of the vacuum pump experienced a reverse impotence due to vascular damage. As mentioned before the other purpose of the penis pump is to get a penis enlargement. The penis pump can temporally extend the penis to the maximum size, by increasing the amount of blood and other fluids that are in the corpus cavernosa and surrounding tissue. There are no documented long lasting effects. The penis pump should be used very carefully and over-enthusiastic use can cause can burst blood vessels and cause blisters. In some cases the testicles can be unexpectedly pulled into the cylinder and cause severe pain and injury. It is also believed that the rim of the cylinder can cut into the skin and over time cause damage to the ligaments surrounding the penis. These dangers are easily avoided by following instructions. Impatiently pumping away without reading any explanatory material can produce too much suction (anything over anything 10 mm Hg) and cause permanent injury. Jelqing clamping It is disputable of which origin the word, jelqing, comes from, but the most common perception is that it is rooted in the Persian word, ,DB 2/F (jalgh zadan) meaning "to masturbate". This kind of penile enlargement method is performed manually without any devices. Here you use a technique where you pull the penis with the thump and the index-finger, and by stretching it for a longer period of time combined with other exercises the result should be a longer erectile penis. However this method is difficult to control (the force of manual traction is difficult to measure), and jelqing can cause injuries, from irritated skin and burst blood vessels to scarring and impaired penile function, including partial loss of erectile function and inability to maintain an erection. It should not be attempted by anyone without a complete understanding of the risks involved. There are many companies who sell manuals and instruction videos but likely information is possible to find on forums and free websites. Traction Another kind of penis enlargement method is traction uses traction to assist the human body's natural ability to change and develop under physical influence. If a certain part of the body is exposed to a constant, permanent stretch, the cells in this area begin to divide and multiply, thus increasing the tissue mass. The enlargement will consequently happen in both the length and width (girth) of the penis. This natural principle has been known and used through centuries in many different cultures in order to develop or extend various body parts.

Surgical methods Injection One of the ways to increase the girth of the penis is by taking fat cells from elsewhere in the body and insert it into the penis. The penis shaft has normally no fat or very little and this method can result in an unnatural appearance and feeling. The same procedure can be done with injecting silicone into the penis. This technique can cause enormous increases in the girth of the penis (increasing the penile volume by over 900%) but is effectively irreversible and may have side effects including loss of sensation, inability to perform penetrative intercourse, scarring and deformation. Ligament cutting Another way to enlarge the penis is by cutting the basal penile ligament, which can cause noticeable lengthening by some individuals. A side effect is that the erect penis will hang down and not harden the same way as before. Inflatable implants Men suffering from complete impotence can get a therapeutic surgery. The principle of the method is to replace the two corpora cavernosa with inflatable penile implants. The two implants can be filled to achieve an erection. However, the result is an uncomfortable stretching of the other penile tissues which can have a number of complications. Beading In Indonesia and southern Asia a practice where objects like small semi-precious stones, steel-ball, etc. are implanted under the skin of the penis, has gained popularity. The reasons to get these implants vary from magical benefits to pleasure of the sex partner. Nevertheless many women complain about irritation, discomfort, scarring and infection caused by these implants. Transplantation Transplantation of the penis has not been possible until very recently where an unverified report in India proclaimed to have taken a penis from an infant born with two penises and attached the extra penis to a masculine child born without one. However there are no verified reports on a successful penile transplantation on an adult.
