Consequences of penis enlargement: side effects of modern techniques

What determines your height?

Before we start discussing whether it is possible to grow taller as an adult, it is important to consider what determines height in the first place.

The simplest answer would be genetics, but that's not all.

Studying twins is one of the best ways to determine the extent to which genetics is a factor.

The growth of twins is highly correlated. This means that if one of the twins is tall, then the other is likely to be tall.

Based on this study, scientists concluded that the difference in height between people is 60-80% dependent on genetics.

The remaining 20–40% is related to external factors, such as nutrition, for example.

By studying the growth of people of different nationalities, you can see how important nutrition and lifestyle are in this matter.

One large study with 18.6 million participants from different countries found that human height has changed over the past 100 years. The average person was taller in 1996 than in 1896. The improvement in the quality of life in these countries was the reason for this.

According to scientists, the difference in human height is 60-80% dependent on genetics and 20-40% on external factors. Over the past 100 years, the average person has become taller.

Cock attachments

Penis cap

Special attachments give the fastest and best results, but their effect is temporary. As a rule, such devices are used to diversify sexual life. Nozzles are sold in specialized stores; they vary in composition and principle of action into several types:

• lengthening or thickening the penis;
• with vibrator;
• embossed;
• helium nozzles-stimulators;
• nozzles for stimulating the clitoris and anus at the same time.

The maximum gain in this way is +10 cm, but it is worth considering that they significantly reduce sensitivity.

Height will not get any higher for most people after age 18

Even if you eat right, it is impossible to increase your height at the age of 18-20.

The graph below shows the growth curve from birth to age 20. As can be seen, the line decreases to zero in this age range.

The reason why our height stops increasing lies in the bones, or more precisely in the cartilage plates.

Growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, are areas of cartilage tissue located almost at the ends of long tubular bones.

A person grows taller primarily due to the lengthening of these bones in these active and exposed growth zones.

At the end of puberty, hormonal changes cause the plates to harden or “close” and bone lengthening stops.

The cartilage plates close by age 16 in women and somewhere between 14 and 19 in men.

Although further growth of tubular bones is not observed in an adult, body height can change slightly during the day.

The cause of these changes throughout the day is compression of the discs in the spine.

Physical activity during the day affects the cartilage and fluid in the spine and causes a person to decrease in height at the end of the day.

This loss during the day is about 1.5 cm.

Some studies have shown that the height of the discs in the spine continues to increase in youth, although this process does not particularly affect overall growth.

The effectiveness of exercises and techniques that promise to increase height by 10 cm has not been scientifically proven. They may promote temporary changes in growth, but this effect does not last long.

Massage that stimulates blood flow as an addition to exercise

A warming massage will be an excellent addition to all exercises. It can be performed to obtain a relaxing effect after each session. The technique involves lightly rubbing the skin. It is necessary to apply the lubricant on the palms, grasp the genital organ and distribute the gel in a circular motion over the entire surface of the phallus. Perform massaging movements until artificial ejaculation.

We also wrote a detailed article about massage for penis enlargement.

Exercise (including weight lifting) doesn't make us shorter

Many people worry that exercise, especially weight lifting, can negatively impact their height.

This problem occurs only for children and adolescents whose growth plates have not yet closed.

The cartilage tissue in the growth plate is weaker than mature bone in an adult and can be easily damaged or deformed.

However, most studies show that weight training is safe and even beneficial at all ages when exercise is monitored appropriately.

Moreover, studies have shown that strength training during adolescence has no effect on growth.

Most doctors and sports specialists also agree with this statement.

One survey asked 500 medical experts whether strength training should be avoided until the cartilaginous growth plates have closed.

85% of experts said that strength training should not be avoided, and only 10% disagreed.

Another study showed that the causes of injuries during strength training are the incorrect or uncontrolled use of sports equipment.

In an adult, the growth plates are closed and strong, so the risk of damage is extremely low.

Strength training can cause minor compression of the spinal discs. However, this process is reversible and occurs to varying degrees in everyday life, even during the day.

One potential cause for concern is injuries that have resulted in herniated discs.

In this case, the size and healthy functioning of the discs are compromised, which can lead to a person's reduced height.

Strength training is safe for people of all ages when done correctly. Only injuries to the intervertebral discs can cause a slight decrease in height.

A healthy lifestyle before the age of 18 has a positive effect on growth

While it is not possible to significantly change an adult's height, there are certain things that can maximize potential during adolescence.

First, you need to constantly get enough minerals and vitamins.

Although many children eat enough or even too much, the quality of food leaves much to be desired.

In most cases, many people's diets are deficient in important elements such as growth-promoting vitamins, especially D, and calcium.

These nutrients are needed for bone growth and overall health.

Calcium changes hormones in such a way that they begin to benefit bone tissue. Vitamin D also promotes bone health.

One of the best ways to combat nutrient deficiencies and provide your bones with all the vitamins and minerals they need for growth is to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits.

Protein is also essential for bone health, although many people have wondered whether too much protein is bad for bones, since everything should be eaten in moderation.

An analysis of 36 studies showed that increased amounts of protein do not harm bones; on the contrary, they increase bone density in the spine.

One effective way to increase your protein intake is to consume at least 20 grams of protein at each meal.

Good sources of protein include eggs, poultry, lean meats and dairy. Soybeans and other legumes are also rich in protein.

Some studies have shown that external factors such as diet play a greater role in height for women than for men.

This is due to the fact that in some countries where patriarchy reigns, a large number of women do not receive timely treatment and are limited in food. These countries have a very high rate of osteoporosis among the female population.

Quitting smoking during the development and formation of a teenager’s body is also a very important factor in the matter of growth.

Do not forget that although the lifestyle of a child and adolescent affects his growth, the key factor here is genetic predisposition.

Adequate nutrient intake during childhood and adolescence has a positive effect on later growth.

Does masturbation help?

But that would be absolutely ideal. The only thing left to do would be to periodically “play pranks” alone with yourself, relax, and have fun. However, will this help make the “unit” larger, thicker, longer? In short: no, it won't help.

Even the notorious jelqing is not masturbation, but a massage. Yes, there really is a difference. Massage practice implies that a man does not bring himself to a one hundred percent erection, much less to an “eruption.” When jelqing, the penis is heated to a “slightly elevated” state. Then they massage, stretching the load for an hour, or better yet, two. Thanks to this prolonged exposure, the penis “trains” and grows.

There is little pleasure from jelqing, on the contrary: it is long and tiring. The main thing in masturbation is to bring yourself to the end, getting more pleasure in the process. Some people arrange a “blitz” for themselves, using a couple of free minutes. Some people, on the contrary, try to prolong the pleasure. But neither in the first case nor in the second will you be able to enlarge your penis. Even if every day, even if several times a day, at most you will be able to rub the skin with too much effort.

However, sexual activity is clearly more beneficial than its absence. Some people do not accept masturbation, although this is rare. Most often, it either complements sex or replaces it. Keeping yourself in good shape, and partly even training in this way, is normal. But the “training” effect cannot be compared with either an extender or other methods.

A person can become taller for medical reasons

Although most adults will not grow taller after the age of 18-20, there are exceptions to this rule.

Firstly, the closure of growth plates in some people occurs much later.

If they remain open after 20 years, growth will continue to increase.

Secondly, there are people diagnosed with gigantism. This is a condition in which a person experiences excessive growth due to the production of large amounts of growth hormone.

Typically, the height of such people continues to increase until the age of 22, and then the growth plates close.

Thirdly, in the presence of a rare genetic disease, hemochromatosis, a large amount of iron is absorbed by the intestines, which also leads to an increase in human height.

All of the above indications increase a person’s height only until the growth zones close.

In the presence of some rare genetic diseases, a person's height continues to increase after 18 years, but provided that the cartilaginous growth plates are not closed.

Possible side effects

If a man does not perform exercises to enlarge the penis correctly, he may encounter the following problems:

• darkening of the skin of the penis;
• protrusion of veins and blood vessels;
• the occurrence of minor redness as a result of rupture of capillaries (often occurs due to insufficient warming of the organ before starting training);
• the presence of black spots on the skin due to a lack of lubricants;
• swelling, swelling of the foreskin associated with stagnation of lymphatic fluid;
• reduction in the tone and size of the penis.

All unpleasant symptoms disappear after a 2-3 day break. Particular care should be taken when wearing rings, as due to excessive compression, blood vessels are damaged and necrosis develops. You also need to protect the dorsal nerve that passes in front of the head. Therefore, you cannot press vigorously on this place.

Other options for increasing height

If you're unhappy with your weight, here are some other things you can try:

• Learn to maintain good posture: Poor posture will rob anyone of a few centimeters of height.
• Wear heels, platform shoes, or buy special insoles:
  This simple trick will add a few centimeters to you.
• Build Muscles to Feel and Look Stronger: If you're feeling small, take up strength training to get muscular and regain your confidence.

These simple tips can help you gain height. However, there are people who are willing to take extreme measures, such as surgery and various procedures.

The purpose of these procedures is to lengthen the bones of the lower leg.

This method is very painful and expensive, so not everyone decides to take such radical measures. In some countries, this kind of intervention is even prohibited.

Some people take growth hormones in an attempt to become taller. Growth hormone helps children who are behind in growth compared to their peers, but it is unlikely to help adults.

There are some simple ways to look taller and feel more confident. Some people are willing to take drastic measures to achieve their dreams.

Preparations, creams, gels, ointments

What to do if the above alternative methods do not give the desired effect? In this case, you can try special lubricant preparations aimed at changing the shape and size of the penis. How does the influence occur by such means:

• plant components help accelerate blood circulation;
• there is an increase in the elasticity and extensibility of smooth muscles and tissues;
• testosterone levels increase naturally without the use of hormonal drugs;
• increases endurance and body tone;
• the degree of erection and the quality of sexual life increase.

As a rule, lubricants for the growth of the phallus are available in the form of drops, sprays, ointments and gels for external use.

Are there penis enlargement pills?

There are no pills that are intended only for penis enlargement.

There are two alternatives:

• hormonal pills - they are prescribed only by a doctor according to indications, usually this is appropriate for adolescents during puberty, which occurs in an abnormal sequence or is delayed;
• synthetic stimulants - drugs like Viagra or Levitra, when used regularly, cause vasodilation and increased blood circulation, which can indirectly contribute to the enlargement of the phallus.

Direct medications in the form of tablets that allow you to temporarily or permanently grow a penis are not provided by medicine.

The most effective creams and gels

The most accessible and effective means of this principle of action are creams and gels for external use. Natural substances in the composition help expand tissues, as well as accelerate blood circulation. Conventionally, they can be divided into 3 groups:

1. Fast-acting ointments - they are applied immediately before sexual intercourse, and regular use promises a few extra centimeters visually, but rather temporarily for a short period of time.
2. Auxiliary ointments - they are intended for massages and various exercise techniques described earlier, otherwise you cannot expect any effect.
3. Gels for penis growth - if you use such drugs for a long time and strictly according to the instructions, combining them with nutrition, massage, and exercise, the results will last forever.

Dietary supplements for penis growth

On sale today you can see drugs for penis enlargement in the form of dietary supplements. These are exclusively natural preparations based on herbal ingredients. The operating principle is as follows:

• dilate blood vessels in the penis area;
• increase blood flow to the cavernous and spongy bodies;
• contribute to increased potency, libido and erection;
• stimulate the production of testosterone naturally.

The most popular pills that help increase the length and volume of the penis are as follows:

Embrace your growth

Understand that you will not be able to reach your desired height. However, there are some things that will help you accept yourself as you are.

Realize that growth isn't everything.

You can be happy and successful regardless of your height. There is a lot of evidence for this statement in the history of mankind, since there were a lot of successful and happy people of short stature.

Some people think that short stature is psychologically oppressive, emphasizes insignificance and adds to a person’s insecurity. Scientists disagree and offer various techniques to eliminate these thoughts and fears. First of all, stop thinking about it as a disadvantage all the time and focus on something other than growth.

Make a list of your best qualities, both physical and non-physical, that can boost your self-esteem and improve your self-perception.

Focus on other areas of self-development. Lose excess weight, build muscle, which will give you confidence in yourself and your appearance.

Learn to accept yourself as you are. At the same time, engage in self-development and self-improvement.

A radical solution is surgery

When it comes to adding size, the first thing guys think of is surgery. Modern medicine offers several types of operations:

• dissection of the ligament, which holds part of the trunk inside the body, helps to obtain 1-2 centimeters of additional length;
• to increase length and thickness, the patient’s own fat is injected into the shaft of the penis;

• they install a collagen matrix, thanks to which a man’s connective tissue actively grows for six months - the matrix dissolves, but sex is completely contraindicated;
• hyaluronic acid is injected - the method was previously actively used, but is now considered outdated, especially since the procedure has to be repeated regularly.

Negative aspects of any operation: fear, pain, long rehabilitation with abstinence. There is also the prospect of a “bonus” of getting a curvature of the genital organ, or even impotence. Of course, it depends on how trusted the clinic is and how straight the surgeon is, but it’s still dangerous.

The good news: you don’t have to risk the “aggregate”: there are many ways to enlarge your penis at home. The bad news... There is no bad news, but there is an important point: you need to choose the method carefully so as not to harm yourself or waste your money.
