The penis is a male organ that functions as a part
of the reproductive and urinary systems. As a young man reaches
puberty, the penis and testicles grow larger, and he begins to grow
pubic hair. The size and shape of a penis varies between men. The size
also varies between its flaccid and erect states. Although many men vary
in size while flaccid, the difference in size is less in the erect
state, according to the TeensHealth website. The majority of men fall
into a normal range for penis size. Some, however, want to enlarge the
length or girth.
Step 1
Use a penis pump to maintain a larger-size penis
during sexual activity. The penis pump can be helpful for a man who has
undergone a prostate procedure, according to the Mayo Clinic. It can
also help those who have had radiation therapy for prostate cancer. This
treatment option has a low cost and does not require surgery.
Step 2
Exercise to improve the appearance of the penis.
Being in good physical shape improves the appearance of the body overall
and increases self-esteem. As a man feels better about himself, he may
become more sexually aroused and increase the size of an erect penis.
Step 3
Lose weight to add length to the penis. Increased
fat in the abdomen hangs over the pelvic region. The increased fat in
the thighs also crowds the genitals. Obese men appear to have smaller
penises because of the additional fat. Losing weight helps the penis
appear larger, and it may gain length because the fat is not around the
base of the penis.
Step 4
Trim extraneous pubic hair, which can make the
penis look shorter. The decreased hair may also help increase
sensitivity at the base of the penis, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Step 5
Get a reconstructive phalloplasty operation.
Several types of surgical procedures can change the length or girth of
the penis. To increase girth, a surgeon may place fat from another part
of the body into the shaft of the penis. To increase length, the surgeon
cuts the suspensory ligament, and this allows the penis to hang longer.
Both procedures have risks, including infection and loss of sensation
and normal function. Several medical organizations, including the
American Urological Association and the Society of Plastic Surgeons do
not endorse using penis surgeries for cosmetic reasons, according to the
Mayo Clinic.
