Penis Enlargement. Sort Myth From Fact

Countless studies carried out over the world have found that for most men, they are dissatisfied with their penis size. Smaller sizes make us feel incompetent in the bedroom and our self esteem goes down hill. Thoughts of rejection in bed because we're too small are also a common problem. So what most men end up asking themselves at some point is, is there a way to make myself any bigger?

Well the purpose of this article is to separate the myths from the facts. Enlarging your penis can be a dangerous process, so it's important that before you start to go down that road, you must understand the risks associated with it. For example, if you go in for surgery, and it goes wrong, you could end up a "woman" for the rest of your life, so it's important to separate the myths from facts.

First of all, I would like to start off by warning all readers that medical pills do not work. If you see a site popping up on your screen with a special herbal pill claiming to increase your penis size, it will not work. In the same way that drinking protein shake alone will not turn you into a bodybuilder, popping pill cannot make you penis significantly longer. Now let's go on to the more creditable (although still questionable) forms.

The first type of enlargement process I'll talk about is surgery. Like I said before, surgery is a risky business. There have been large amounts of complaints after the procedures, many resulting in disfigured penises. At least one person to date has died from bleeding after surgery.

The two types of surgery available are lengthening and girth procedures. In both cases, the penis is cut open. For the lengthening, the suspensory ligament is cut, and plastic surgery is used to lengthen the penis. Yet in case's involving this, men have complained that after surgery they see an increase in the flaccid length, but the overall erect length is still about the same, and that instead of pointing upwards, the penis drops to the floor. Why does this happen? Mainly because the suspensory ligament is the reason your penis points upwards, and cutting it will remove this function.

The most common surgery to increase girth is to either have liposuction fat injected into your penis, or to have grafts of skin and fat from the buttock area placed within the penile shaft. While no long term results have been clarified from the second option, injecting fat into your penis has proved disappointing to most patients. This is because your body reabsorbs the fat over a period of time, resulting in the loss of your very expensive surgery.

There are other consequences to take into account before penis surgery is considered, such as scrotalisation, where the penis appears to be attached to the scrotum instead of the abdominal wall.

Another form of penis enlargement is the traction device. The very basic concept of this is that it slowly stretches your penis out over time. With the added pressure on your penis, cells are caused to divide and multiply to fill the gaps. Well quite a few experts have some concerns about the device. While it does increase length, there are risks associated with it that can be quite substantial. Putting pressure on your penis could cause something to break, like a blood vessel. Other concerns are that if it's put on too tight, you'll literally strangle the life out of it, restricting the blood flow, and ultimately causing damage. However these same experts admit that when used as directed, just like with anything, true results may be possible- but not without a strong commitment.

Another way to enlarge your penis is through exercises. Of course criticisms have been made about these as its split pretty much 50/50 in the medical world as to whether these work. Some claim that there are no muscles in the penis to stretch, while others say that they work more like the traction device, but slower and with fewer risks. There are a wide variety of sites out there that offer penis enlargement skills, although some require you to pay them money. The only real risk with this form is whether it's effective. Will you be wasting your time for the next couple of months only to find nothings happened?

As you can see, while penis enlargement is definitely on the wish list for most men, caution must be exercised to avoid unnecessary risk. And while there's no guarantee, countless antedotal evidence suggests that it is, in fact, possible.
