How to increase my penis length and thickness?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 18-year-old, and I have a short penis. It is three inches long. It never produces sperm, even while shaking and massaging it. It is so depressing, and I need to know how to massage it correctly. Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The average length of the penis varies from 2.5 to 4 inches in the flaccid state and 4.5 to 6.5 inches in the erect state, with a one-inch diameter. Studies recommended that flaccid penis length of fewer than 1.6 inches or an erect penis of fewer than three inches should be considered for treatment. Longer sizes would not make females happy; they would cause discomfort. A bigger penis or a smaller penis does not affect making a female happy.

The best method for increasing size is surgical liposuction around the pubic bone, skin graft, injecting fat into the penis, or injection of HA into the penis. Inflatable penile prosthetics are helpful if the size is less than three inches.

Other methods to increase size, but with a significantly lower chance of improvement, are available. Jelqing exercises is an exercise method is a natural way to increase the size of the penis. Hand and overhand rolling motion to move blood to the head of your penis. It is a safe method, but it can cause pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation if you do it too often or aggressively.

The stretching method can also be done, as it involves attaching a stretcher or extender device to the penis to exert gentle tension. You can use the penis enlargement pump once a morning, after or before a bath. Vacuum pumps draw blood into the penis, making it swell.

They are used for treating erectile dysfunction. The vacuum pump can make a penis look larger temporarily. But using one too often or too long can damage elastic tissue in the penis, leading to fewer firm erections. I suggest you use massage oil once a day before a bath for three months.

I hope this information will help.

Thanks.
