What is the effective treatment for small penis size in a 30-year-old male?

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 30-year-old male. I believe that my penis is small. When erect, it measures about 5 inches. I am about to get married, and my fiancee seems to have a larger vaginal opening. Can I provide sexual satisfaction with my current size?

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

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 1-inch diameter. Studies recommend that a flaccid penis length of fewer than 1.6 inches or an erect penis of fewer than 3 inches should be considered for treatment. It is essential to note that a longer size will not necessarily make females happier; in fact, it may cause discomfort. Just as the glans penis is sensitive for males, the sensation for females is typically in the outer 2 inches The size of a penis, whether large or small, does not significantly affect a woman's happiness. While males may experience erotic sensations in the glans, other parts (such as the shaft) typically do not provide the same level of stimulation. The most effective method for increasing penis size is through surgery, such as liposuction around the pubic bone, skin grafts, injecting fat into the penis, or hyaluronic acid (HA) injections. Inflatable penile prosthetics can be helpful for cases where the size is less than 3 inches. Other methods for increasing size have limited chances of improvement and may include:

  1. Jelqing exercises: Jelqing is a natural method for increasing penis size. It involves a hand-over-hand rolling motion to move blood to the head of your penis and stretch it, somewhat like milking. This method is generally safe, but it can cause pain, irritation, or scar tissue formation if done too often or too aggressively.
  2. Stretching method: This method involves attaching a stretcher or extender device to the penis to exert gentle tension.
  3. Penis enlargement pump: You can use this pump once a day, either after or before a bath. Vacuum pumps draw blood into the penis, causing temporary swelling, and are often used to treat erectile dysfunction. However, using a vacuum pump too frequently or for extended periods can damage the elastic tissues in the penis, potentially leading to fewer firm erections.
  4. Aljins 69 Massage Oil: This oil can be used once a day by massage, excluding the glans penis, before a bath, for a period of three months.

I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
