Majority of men believe they were “short changed” where penile size is concerned.The average flaccid penis is 2.5 inches and the average erect penis is 4.6”.

But most men look at the 10 inches or more sizes and fall for the notion that they are too small. They don’t think twice before flopping their penis on the surgery table.

Does Penis Enlargement Surgery Work?

The problem with surgery is that there is not much evidence that penis enlargement surgery works, which should be the main concern before going into a procedure.

At most, the surgery tends to make a flaccid penis look slightly wider or longer, but it does not mean the size of an erect penis changes.

The Side Effects Of Penis Enlargement Surgery

The probable side effects of penis enlargement surgery may range from mild to very serious.

The risks can include:

• Infection
• Scrotal swelling
• Sensitivity loss
• Scarring
• Pus drainage
• Hair beneath the penis
• Shorter penis
• Penis that hangs low
• Fat lumps
• Pressure and uneasiness caused by an implant
• Persistent pain
• Urinary incontinence
• Impotence
• Erectile dysfunction
• Will There Be Problems After Surgery?

That’s a huge list and that’s what scares people away from surgery, but there still are many that get desperate enough to suffer through this. If after a penile implant surgery, an infection develops, then the implants will have to be removed.

There is also an increased risk of malfunction of the pump or implants within five years after implantation. This calls for another operation for removal/replacement/repair as the doctor deems fit.
Although, penis enlargement surgeries don’t really affect the quality or frequency of erections, which are a result of blood flow to the penis; there is evidence that penis enlargement procedures can sometimes cause impotence.

Are Penile Surgeries Approved?

Although several surgeons have developed different penis enlargement techniques, because of the potential complications associated with the surgery, the American Urological Association does not recommend it for cosmetic use. Studies also show that the majority of men who undergo surgeries for penis enlargement are not satisfied with the end result, and some surgeries have the opposite effect and even reduced the penis size.

Who Can Benefit From A Penis Enlargement Surgery?

Penis enlargement surgery may be an option when the individual has sufficient medical reasons to undergo this kind of surgery; for example a man who has a problem with the normal functioning of his penis due to a birth defect or some injury.

For him, there is no alternative but to go for surgery if he wants to lead a normal life, and the risk may well be worth it.

Even if your penis is smaller than the average and you’ve decided you need help with it, it is advisable to consider other options before resorting to time-consuming, big-budget techniques that can prove to be dangerous and will be minimally effective at best.

You would be wasting precious time, money and perhaps your peace of mind if something goes wrong.
