Questions about penis size are among the most frequently asked questions to a urologist. There is misinformation among men on this subject, full of superstitions. Naturally, penis enlargement operations have become one of the most researched topics on the internet. First of all, let us point out that for most people, penis enlargement and lengthening surgery is an extremely unnecessary procedure and brings with it many risks. So, what are the scientific truths on this subject?
The organ we call the penis is actually only a small externally visible part of a large system that functions very well in a man. Reducing sexuality only to the penis is the greatest injustice to this perfectly designed system. Vascular structures, neural network, spongy tissue, testicles, sperm sacs, prostate, erector ligaments, spinal cord and main centers in the brain work in harmony to provide erection (hardening) and ejaculation. Meanwhile, the psychological infrastructure, five senses and emotions undeniably enable the initiation and maintenance of this system. Undoubtedly, everyone's penis is unique and no one's penis is exactly like anyone else. Some are slightly smaller or larger, thin or thick, slightly curved or straight...etc. This is a genetic feature and cannot be easily changed by external interventions. Just as it is not possible to increase our height, enlarging the penis is not an easy task. As a result of the research and considering the whole world, it is medically completely normal for an erect penis to be between 8 and 18 cm from root to tip. The penis size of 99% of all men varies between 8-18 cm, and 90% varies between 10-16 cm. Medically, only a size below 8 cm is considered a small penis (micropenis) (0.5%), which may be due to an underlying hormonal deficiency. Medical research and, if necessary, drug treatment may be needed in this regard. In a large-scale study conducted in our country, the average penis length of Turkish men was found to be 13.7 cm (1). In a compilation study, the world average was found to be 13.1 cm (2). As we all know, racial differences on this issue are huge. While the penis length of Far Eastern men remains below the world average, African men It is above average in men.
The second important issue; The size of the penis has almost no importance in terms of female sexuality. Because the vagina is a flexible organ that takes shape according to the penis, and only the first 3-4 cm of the entrance part functions to provide pleasure. The most important organ for orgasm is the clitoris. No woman can easily set expectations regarding her penis size. The basic expectations of women during sex are that their partners desire them lustfully and that they receive sexual stimulation for sufficient time for vaginal lubrication. If you add the romantic gestures you will make during the day, you will have already met almost everything a woman wants. Penis size has very limited relevance to female sexuality. In fact, slightly shorter and thicker penises are preferred because they stimulate the entrance to the vagina more.
Focusing on the size of the penis rather than its function is another problem we call "performance anxiety". causes a situation. Eventually, over time, the person loses interest in sexuality and begins to experience erection problems. In fact, although the underlying problem is not penis size, all the blame is placed on the penis. Being correctly informed on this subject is very important for a healthy sexual life. Let's reiterate that all penises between 8-18 cm are normal and provide enough pleasure. However, today, especially the porn film industry has created a huge myth by using white men with penis lengths that are much higher than the average. Porn actors are mostly men with penises over 18 cm, which is seen in only 0.5% of the population, and this causes an exaggerated perception of the ideal penis to be established in society. However, most men with penises of this size experience some relationship problems in their private lives because they cause pain in their partners. And it is known that they have difficulty in establishing regular intercourse.
DOES THE PENIS ENLARGE?
There are supplements and medicines that are claimed to enlarge the penis in the internet world. Creams have no scientific value. These are commercial activities aimed entirely at deceiving people. These chemicals, which we do not know what they contain, can cause you serious side effects in addition to financial loss. Again penis enlarger Vacuum devices sold as � are not useful tools in this regard. On the contrary, they can disrupt the valve systems in the healthy penis and cause you to experience permanent erection problems. Vacuum devices are auxiliary devices that can be used not to enlarge the penis, but to achieve erection in men who have erection problems due to venous leakage disease.
An important practical reflection of the obsession with penis size is that penis enlargement or lengthening surgeries are performed haphazardly. is that it is being done. In these surgeries, it is not actually the penis length that is extended. It is an operation to remove the root (crus) parts of the penis that remain inside. For this purpose, first the ligaments that act as erectors are cut and the penis root is thus freed. Then, the root part is tried to be removed with the help of stitches that tighten the tissue. This operation can provide an external extension of 1-3 cm, but it can also bring with it many disadvantages. These are; ligaments) are cut, the penis stops pointing upwards when it becomes erect. The angle of the erect penis is now forward and downward.
2- Constrictive stitches (v-y plasty) can leave an ugly appearance in the groin (infrapubic). Tissue aesthetics may be permanently impaired.
3- Filling materials or implants intended to thicken the penis may impair penile sensation and reduce pleasure. Erection problems may begin.
4- Surgical interventions to the penis can be very disturbing psychologically. It may result in aggravation of the self-confidence problem in the lower self. In some people, it may trigger the unexpected re-awakening of past repressed psychological traumas.
For these reasons, as urologists, we do not recommend penis enlargement surgeries except in special exceptional cases. In particular, these operations should never be equated with breast enlargement surgeries. Instead of worrying about the size of the penis, it would be a much more rational way to try to increase sexual performance by exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet and controlling weight. Perhaps most people would of course wish the body length was a little longer. This is a very human dream, but it cannot come true. It is not very possible. Of course, short people are less successful than tall people. Everyone knows this and does not make it a serious problem. It is very important to think about penis size in this way and live in peace with our body. It is of no benefit to either us or our partner if we prioritize the most unnecessary issue for a healthy sexual life and turn it into an attachment.
