Penis size and width can sometimes cause problems in couples' relationships or create depression in men. But thanks to modern medicine and intimate surgery for men, there is a solution: penis enlargement/thickening surgery.
There may be medical reasons to seek enlargement surgery if you have a micropenis or a buried penis. Micropenis, or a very small penis, is a congenital condition. A buried penis refers to a penis hidden under the skin by the stomach, buttocks or scrotum. This can also be congenital or happen when you get older. People with these conditions often seek surgery to restore a functional penis - the ability to urinate erect and have intercourse.
If you notice that worries about your penis size are affecting your life, but a doctor has told you that your penis size is normal, you may have conditions such as penile dysmorphophobia (PDD) or small penis anxiety.
- PDD (penile dysmorphophobia) is a form of body dysmorphic disorder. People with PDD believe that their penis is smaller than it really is, and believe that other people's penises are bigger than they really are. PDD can lead to depression and even cause erection problems.
- SPA (small penis anxiety) is a form of anxiety. People with SPA experience anxiety in situations where someone can see their genitals (for example, in the changing room or during sex) because they are worried that their penis is smaller than normal.
What is penis enlargement and thickening surgery?
The procedure, also known as phalloplasty, is aimed at increasing the length and girth of the penis. It is performed to improve self-esteem, address psychological distress associated with penis size, and increase sexual satisfaction.
Penis enlargement can be achieved through surgical and non-surgical methods. Surgical techniques include penis lengthening and thickening procedures, while non-surgical options include the use of penis extenders or vacuum erection devices.
There are several techniques for penis lengthening and thickening surgeries - ligamentolysis, fat transfer, dermal matrix grafting and implants. Each technique has its advantages and considerations, and the choice of procedure depends on the individual patient's needs and goals.
Penile lengthening surgeries usually involve releasing the suspensory ligament, which can increase the apparent length of the penis. Penile lengthening and thickening surgeries are usually performed under general anesthesia, which ensures patient comfort during the procedure.
Recovery after intimate surgery for men
After surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising and mild discomfort. They will be advised to avoid sexual activities and vigorous exercise during the initial recovery period. Full recovery may take several weeks.
Patients should usually abstain from intercourse and other sexual activities for at least 4 to 6 weeks after penis enlargement surgery to allow for proper healing.
Intimate surgery for men - results
Many patients report improved self-esteem and satisfaction with their sex life after penis enlargement surgery. However, it is important to have realistic expectations and understand that surgery may not guarantee a significant change in sexual performance or function.
Penis enlargement surgery should not cause urinary tract problems. However, it is extremely important that you follow the post-operative care instructions and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor.
Penis enlargement surgery does not affect fertility or reproductive function.
Side effects
As with any surgical procedure, penis enlargement surgery can cause side effects that may include infection, bleeding, scarring, and dissatisfaction with the results. Choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon can significantly reduce the risk of complications.
