Increasing the girth of the penis by subcutaneous injection of paraffin or other oils is still performed in Eastern Europe. Including Bulgaria, Russia as well as Asia, although the devastating complications of this practice have been known since the 1900s.
In Bulgaria, the most commonly used liquid paraffin is injected into the penis by a non-medical person and under questionable hygienic conditions. This method is resorted to by younger men who want to achieve greater virility and sexual power and greater pleasure in the partner.
Why do complications occur when paraffin is injected into the penis?
The human body has enzymes to metabolize paraffin or similar oils. Thus, the body's reaction to the foreign body will inevitably lead to subcutaneous deposition of the paraffin. Sometimes when large quantities are injected, or the paraffin injection is repeated several times, it may also leak into the scrotum. This subsequently forms what is known as paraffin. Reactions to paraffin usually occur slowly- 1 to 2 years after injection. Swelling, hardening, difficulty in blood circulation to the penis, deformities or skin infections, purulent secretions, ulcers and even necrosis occur. Urination problems and inability to achieve sexual activity may occur.
How is paraffin treated?
Once paraffin is injected into the penis, it cannot be removed from the subcutaneous tissue except surgically. The paraffin-affected skin and subcutaneous tissue are excised and replaced with skin grafts from the abdomen or scrotum. These are complex and difficult surgical operations that take a long time and sometimes more than one procedure may need to be done.
Are there safe ways to enlarge the penis?
Yes, there are alternative minimally invasive, reliable and safe penis enlargement procedure such as injecting your own fat tissue to increase the girth of the penis or lengthening the penis by pulling out that one quarter of it that is hidden in the body.
The vast majority of men resorting to paraffin injections into the penis do not inform themselves in advance with a specialist about possible complications. Subsequently, most are disappointed with the result and want to remove the paraffin or have to remove it because of the resulting complications. The bottom line, however, is that after the paraffin injection, whatever treatment is applied will never return the penis to its original appearance. In fact, injecting paraffin into the penis is an easy and affordable procedure, but those wishing to do it should consider whether they are willing to face the consequences and whether this procedure will actually cost them a much higher price.
