Penis Enlargement Methods - What Works?

Unfortunately, when thinking of penis enlargement people immediately think of spam emails, credit card scams and fraud. It is still true that there are people who would stop at nothing to make a quick buck by exploiting people, but the penis enlargement industry is becoming more and more legitimate as more research is done on the subject and real results are seen with legitimate products.

There aren't that many penis enlargement methods that work, although they all claim to. Here is a summary on how each method works and how effective it is.

Vacuum Pumps

The penis is sealed in an airtight container and the surrounding air is removed. This pressure pulls blood and lymphatic fluid into the penis making it bigger. It only takes a minute and the result can look really impressive.

Unfortunately, as soon as you remove the container the penis starts to revert to it's normal size. This can be slowed by fitting a ring around the base of the penis allowing it to stay bigger for a few more minutes. I don't know about you, but I (and my wife) need more than a few minutes!

Vacuum pumps are more useful in the treatment of erectile dysfunction than anything else. The results aren't permanent and there can be damage to the tissue in the penis.

Pills, Patches, Lotions, Oils, Creams etc.

These usually contain vitamins, herbs or hormones that claim to enlarge your penis. What they actually do (if you're lucky) is stimulate blood flow giving the illusion of a larger penis. Sometimes they don't have anything useful in them at all, and you should also keep the packaging in case there is an allergic reaction and you need to visit a doctor.

Legitimate pills and creams can be useful when used with other methods.

Surgery

As we all know, surgery has it's own inherent risks whatever the procedure. You obviously need to consult with a urologist for this options and you will find that it's the only option they recommend (if they recommend anything). The main medical organizations in the US (The American Urological Association, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons) have all issued policy statements against cosmetic surgical procedures to enhance the penis.

Studies show that the most of men who have penis enlargement surgery aren't satisfied with the results. It might add an average of half an inch to the length of the flaccid penis and may not add any length to the erect penis.

Then there's the cost - as much as $10,000 for a typical penis-enlargement surgery, and this is seldom covered by insurance, so you have to pay for all of it.

Penis Exercises

Penis exercises do work and they are safe. They work by putting the penis under pressure, thereby slowly lengthening it. This method has been used for centuries, although not much research has been done into it.

You do need to stick to the recommend schedule and exercises - just doing it every so often when you remember at home just isn't worth it. It can take some time as well.

Penis exercises, as well as pills etc. can be used to enhance other methods.

Traction Devices

Traction devices are the best option when it comes to penis enlargement. They are safe and they work. They are more expensive than exercises but they do have better results.

They work by applying controlled force to stretch the penis. It is done slowly with the minimum of force so there is no damage. Again, you need to follow the schedule strictly. If you do, you can will see results in a few short weeks. As well as helping to achieve your goal, you can see the results and that gives you more confidence that it will work.

Getting information about all these methods will make your decision easier. Information is key. Make the right choice and you will see gains fast - and that can make a huge difference to your life.
