Ads for penis-enlargement products and procedures are everywhere. A vast number of pumps, pills, weights, exercises and surgeries claim to increase the length and width of your penis.
However, there is little scientific support for nonsurgical methods to enlarge the penis. And no trusted medical organization endorses penis surgery for purely cosmetic reasons.
Most of the techniques you see advertised don’t work. And some can damage your penis. Think twice before trying any of them.
Penis Size: What’s Normal, What’s Not?
The fear that your penis looks too small or is too small to satisfy your partner during sex is common. But most men who think their penises are too small actually have penises that are considered typical size.
Similarly, many men have an exaggerated idea of what is considered a “typical” penis size.
The length of a non-erect penis doesn’t consistently predict length when the penis is erect. If your penis is about 5 inches (13 cm) or longer when erect, it’s of typical size.
A penis is considered small only if it measures less than 3 inches (about 7.5 centimeters) when erect. This is a condition called micropenis.
How Partners View Penis Size
Advertisers would have you believe that your partner cares deeply about penis size. If you’re concerned, talk to your partner.
Understanding your partner’s needs and desires is more likely to improve your sexual relationship than changing the size of your penis.
Don’t Believe the Hype
Companies offer many types of nonsurgical penis-enlargement treatments. They often promote them with serious-looking ads that include support from “scientific” researchers.
If you look closely, you’ll see that claims of how safe they are and how well they work haven’t been proved. And these products may have potentially dangerous ingredients not listed on the label.
Marketers rely on ads with people who recommend the product. Marketers may also use data that’s not accurate and questionable before-and-after photos. Dietary supplements don’t require approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. So manufacturers don’t have to prove how safe a product is or that it works.
Surgery is Risky and May Not Work
Studies of surgeries to lengthen or thicken the penis have found mixed results in safety, whether they work (effectiveness) and patient satisfaction.
At best, surgery may give a slight increase in girth to the penis. Or surgery may add a slight appearance of increased length to the non-erect penis. But it does not change the actual length of the penis. At worst, surgery can result in complications such infection, scarring, and loss of sensation or function.
The Bottom Line
Many men believe that increasing the size of their penises will make them a better lover or make them more attractive. But chances are your penis is within the typical size range.
Even if your penis is smaller than average, it may not matter to your partner. In addition, there’s no proven way to make a penis larger.
