Penile Enlargement Surgery, Why do men need it?

There are many different reasons why men elect to undergo penile enlargement surgery. In addition to the stigma attached to having an unusually small penis, men can suffer from various other issues related to penis size. What’s more, enlargement surgery can be done as a corrective measure to fix issues caused by various other conditions that relate to the penis. In general, it’s safe to say that each man’s decision to undergo penile enlargement surgery is unique.

While one man may simply feel that his penis size is inadequate to satisfy his partner, another man may choose to undergo the surgery because of a proven medical condition. As with any surgery, men should weigh the risks and the benefits before coming to any decisions, and speak at length with their physician and the potential surgeon before getting the surgery. Penile enlargement surgery has helped many men in the past, but it should not be undertaken without all of the proper consideration.

Issues of Inadequacy

Many men consider penile enlargement surgery due to feelings of inadequacies. In conversations, most will state a sense of anxiousness when discussing the size of their member. A lot are fed up with the stigma of an undersized penis or feelings of insecurities.

  • There is a misconception about a normal penis being undersized.
  • This can be untrue in many instances.
  • The “average” size is often overestimated and causes unease in normal men.
  • Men may feel as though they are smaller than others, causing a depreciation of self-confidence.
  • There may be a worry as to if they are satisfying their partner and performing.
  • While barbaric, a smaller size can make one feel like less of a man.

While the “average” size has been stated in our previous article, many still feel as though they are a false victim of a small penis. The only way to relieve this stress and set the record straight is to have a professional consultation with a doctor and discuss your case specifically. Penile enlargement surgery is a great option for many men.

Medical Issues That Could Be Solved By Penile Enlargement Surgery

Medical issues can arise from having a smaller than average penis and warrant an enlargement surgery.

  • Obesity: a larger gut can give the illusion of a smaller penis. This can be corrected by a diet and exercise, not needing a procedure.
  • Dysmorphia: the perception of body defects that don’t exist- similar to anorexia. While a surgeon can tell you you’re average, a therapist can help you to work through this.
  • Micropenis: a congenital disorder in which the penis is under-sized and should be corrected with surgery.
  • Peyronie’s disease: causes a small penis and can be corrected with surgery.
  • Other causes could be from retractions due to prostate cancer or other illnesses.

These are a few examples of medical conditions that need a consultation with an expert surgeon to help diagnose. While not all are treated by surgery, when it can help, it can be a life-changing procedure to not only restore self-confidence but also improve your health as well.

When it comes to choosing the right procedure and the best-experienced surgeon for your penile enlargement surgery, you need to do your research while considering the goals that you are looking to achieve.
