Penis Enlargement Surgery

Penis enlargement procedures are becoming a hot topic in the medical world (as well as on the Internet, as is probably evident in your e-mail spam folder). Since it’s a touchy topic for many people, this branch of medical procedures is sometimes referred to by the euphemism “male enhancement.”

There are two different types of penis enlargement surgery: one that is intended to increase length and one that is intended to increase girth. Length surgery generally involves detaching a ligament under the pubic bone, which allows the penis to extend farther from the body. Girth surgery typically entails injecting a substance such as silicone into the penis or scrotum.

5 Things You Need to Know

  1. Surgical methods aimed at increasing the girth of a penis are far more effective than those aimed at increasing the length.
  2. Accurate figures are hard to come by, but it appears that around 5,000 Americans undergo penis enlargement surgery every year.
  3. Many plastic surgeons refuse to perform penile enhancement procedures.
  4. Penis enlargement surgery is not covered by health insurance companies, as the procedure is considered to be cosmetic and unnecessary. Non-cosmetic penis surgery is typically covered.
  5. Penis enlargement pills are commonly offered for sale online. Medical studies have shown that these pills often contain hazardous substances, including mold and animal feces. At best, these pills have a placebo effect on users, making them think that their penises have grown and increasing their confidence and arousal.

3 Questions You Need to Ask Your Doctor

  1. Am I a good candidate for penis enlargement surgery?

  2. What are the possible risks and side effects associated with penis enlargement surgery?

  3. How will the sensitivity of my penis change following the surgery?
