Does penis enlargement really work? It does, however, not all methods and techniques for penis enlargement produce the same results.
There are a wide variety of penis enlargement products and methods available in the market such as pills, creams, pumps, supplements, belts, stretchers, weights, extenders, patches, and herbal teas.
Due to the increasing size of the market, the sensitivity of the issue, and the lack of credible information regarding penis enlargement, a number of dodgy companies have started producing fake and ineffective penis enlargement products.
To give you some information and help you determine the fake from the effective products, here are is a short discussion on a few of the more popular penis enlargement products available.
Extenders Penis extenders are one of the most popular products for increasing penis size.
This is based on the idea that when enough stress is applied to a body over time, that specific region will gradually grow through the production of bigger and stronger cells and tissues.
Penis extenders are to be worn for an average of six hours in one day for a minimum period of three months.
Some of these products have undergone clinical testing to prove its effectivity in increasing penis length and girth.
Pills Penis enlargement pills are designed to push blood into the corposa cavernosa - the tissue that, when filled with blood, produces an erection.
These pills are based on the theory that by forcing blood into the tissues will cause the tissues to expand after some time, which in turn will create larger and stronger erections.
Penis enlargement pills work better when combined with other penis enlargement techniques and products so as to maximize results.
Patches Transdermal patches are widely known in the market for use in providing medications such as testosterone and nicotine.
One of the advantages of using patches is the controlled but direct delivery of the nutrients into the blood stream.
Most penis enlargement patches do not product a permanent effect but instead work by providing an increase in the size of the erection and enhancing sexual performance.
Patches may be able to provide more permanent results if used in conjunction with penis enlargement exercises or devices.
Pumps Vacuum pumps were initially designed for use in helping men with impotence.
These devices; however, are also being marketed as penis enlargement products based on the premise that forcing blood into the penis through the pressure in the vacuum will increase penis size.
Penis enlargement pumps produce temporary results, but these results may not be worth the medical risks associated with the inaccurate use of pumps.
Excessive use of the pumps can damage the cells in the penis, can cause blisters, burst blood vessels, and cause internal bleeding.
Weights Penis enlargement weights stretch the penis by the use of hanging weights.
The idea behind this product is similar to that of the penis extender - that by consistent tension, the cells in the penile tissue will regrow and produce stronger cells.
Weights are probably the oldest known method of penis enlargement; nevertheless, the use of weights has not been proven to be very effective.
Weights may increase the length of a penis in the flaccid state, but it will not contribute to increase in girth.
The use of weights also has substantial risks such as causing lesions, and a decrease in sensation.
The use of a clamp with weights may also cut off blood supply to the penis resulting in infection, tissue death, and gangrene.
Creams and Liquids Creams and liquids for penis enlargement have also been advertised but there is still no medical evidence to support the effectivity of these products.
