Pills, Pumps and Surgery For Male Enhancement

The top three male enhancement techniques right now are pills, pumps and surgery. Here are some basic facts regarding the matter.

Penis Pills

With the introduction of penis enlargement pills, the field of penis enlargement has expanded immensely. A few years ago, the only options were pumps and surgery, but now penis pills are the most popular method men use for enlarging their penis. There are many advantages to using penis pills over the other methods. Convenience, no side effects, price and effectiveness are all factors that have made penis pills so popular.

On either side of your penis, you have two spongy areas called the corpa cavernosa. An erection happens when you become excited, and the natural flow of blood fills these erectile tissues. Consistent use of penis pills expands these erectile tissues and makes them larger over time. As it does this the erectile tissues can hold more blood than ever before, thus increasing the size of the penis.

The downside to using penis pills are the risk involved with choosing the pill itself. Shortly after the release of the first penis pills, a number of companies started selling phony pills that are nothing more than overpriced vitamins.

Penis Pumps

With the penis pump enlargement method a cylinder is first placed around the penis. Then a hose is connected to a pump which evacuates air from the cylinder. As the air is removed from the cylinder, the penis is pulled further into the cylinder and towards the walls of the cylinder through suction, making the penis increase in size.

Pumps do have medical uses for men who suffer from impotency. Penis Pumps are often used to obtain an erection. After the erection is obtained, you maintain it with a cock ring, removing the pump to engage in intercourse.

The vacuum pump forces blood into the penis at a much higher level than your natural erection. The penis then becomes bigger and harder. Enlargement with pumps can expect at least 1 inch to 3 inches over repeated use. It is important to follow directions with the pump as there is potential for harm if done incorrectly.

Penile Surgery

Over the last 10 years, cosmetic penile surgery has grown in popularity. Doctors lengthen the penis by cutting the ligaments that attach the penis to the underside of the pubic bone. Doctors thicken the penis by transferring the patient's own fat cells into the shaft of the penis. However, because the head of the penis cannot be enlarged, the result is a penis with a disfigured appearance; and just as with most surgeries, scarring is inevitable. Additionally, this medical procedure can cost thousands of dollars and is generally not covered by health insurance. Approximately 68% of men surveyed who have undergone this surgery reported dissatisfaction with the results.

Because of the potential for complications, combined with the wide availability of safer options for penis enlargement, penile surgeries have begun to decline in the past 2 years.
