The penis is traditionally considered a symbol of male strength, so its size has always been a cause for concern for men. Many of them still believe that the big penis is the main sign of sexual and sexual superiority. Normally, the length of the penis at rest ranges from 7 to 13 cm, with an erection the length reaches 12–20 cm. If the size of the penis is less than 12 cm, it is considered a small penis and if the length is less than 2-3 cm penis.
Insufficient penis length very often leads to a decrease in a man's self-esteem and, in some cases, to serious problems in intimate life (up to the complete impossibility of sexual intercourse).
To solve this delicate problem, surgeons suggest a ligation - an operation to increase the length of the penis.
Penis enlargement in length includes two stages:
- Stage 1 - surgery (ligation). During the operation, the urologist dissects the penile support ligament.
- Stage 2 - use of the extension for at least 2-3 hours daily for 4-6 months.
Indications
As a rule, the small penis does not affect function and does not lead to infertility. In such cases, penis enlargement surgery is performed exclusively at the request of the man and for aesthetic reasons. In the presence of abnormalities in the development of an organ (for example, with a small penis), ligation is performed for medical reasons.
Contraindications
Penis lengthening surgery, like any surgery, has a number of contraindications: bleeding disorders, cancer, diabetes, infectious and inflammatory processes in the body, etc.
The possibility of surgery is determined by the doctor based on the results of the preoperative examination.
Preparation for ligation
To rule out contraindications to surgery, it is necessary to undergo preoperative preparation (perhaps in our area or in any place convenient for the patient):
- clinical blood test;
- general urinalysis;
- 4 mandatory tests (syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, C).
- biochemical blood test (glucose, AST, ALT, creatinine, total bilirubin).
- pictogram No. 1;
- ECG (before intravenous anesthesia for patients over 45 years of age or with chronic heart disease).
In some cases, you may also need the advice of a specialist (for example, an endocrinologist if you suspect diabetes).
The course of surgery
The operation can be performed under local anesthesia or intravenous combined anesthesia. The second option is used much more often to exclude unpleasant sensations during ligation.
The essence of the operation is the lengthening of the penis by dissecting the ligament and redistributing the length of the penis in the direction of increasing the sagging part.
During the operation, the surgeon dissects the suspension (support) ligament of the penis, the function of which is to hold part of the penis inside the body. The operation can be done through the scrotum or pubic approach. The duration of all stages of the operation is usually from 30 to 60 minutes.
The result of the operation
As a result of the ligation, the length of the hanging part of the penis increases by 3-5 cm. The final result depends on the anatomical features of the patient's body structure (the size of the latent part of the penis) and the physiological properties (extensibility and elasticity of the tissues). To achieve maximum results after surgery, it is necessary to wear an extension for 4-6 months 2-3 hours a day.
Characteristics of the recovery period
Penis lengthening surgery is considered minimally invasive, the patient is under the supervision of medical staff for several hours after the operation, after which he can leave the clinic alone.
Before discharge, urologists give all the necessary recommendations for the use of an extension to improve the outcome of the operation, as well as for the care of the genitals, bandages and follow-up visits. The recovery period after ligation is only 2-3 weeks. After this time, the wound heals completely and the postoperative suture becomes completely invisible.
Frequently Asked Questions About Penis Enlargement Surgery:
How much does the length of the penis increase after ligation?
The final result of the operation depends directly on the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the man. After surgery and subject to daily use of the extension (2-3 hours a day), the length of the penis increases by an average of 3-5 cm both at rest and in a state of sexual arousal.
How long should you abstain from sexual intercourse after surgery?
Due to tissue trauma, sexual intercourse can be painful for several days. The complete healing of the wound takes place after 2-3 weeks, after which the man can continue his sexual life.
Can reproductive problems occur after ligation?
After the operation, there are no side effects in the form of reduced power or male reproductive function, as when performing a ligation, the surgeon does not affect the anatomical structures that are responsible for the erection.
How much does a ligature cost?
The cost of ligation varies from clinic to clinic depending on various factors.
The total cost of penis enlargement consists of:
- Initial consultation with a urologist.
- Analyzes before surgery.
- Function - Connection?
- Anesthesia (local anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia).
- Extender (the patient buys himself, taking into account the recommendations of the urologist).
- Postoperative visit to a urologist (2-3 visits).
The final cost of penis enlargement surgery can only be said by a doctor after consultation and examination.
