Male Enhancement Methods
Besides the use of penis enlargement pills, there are several other methods on the market for providing natural male enhancement. One of these methods is the use of a penis pump.
Doctors view the penis pump-or “vacuum constriction device,” as it’s called in the business-as a reasonable, low-cost treatment for erectile dysfunction. A report from the American Urological Association says that constriction devices might be useful in cases where PDE5-inhibitor drugs like Viagra are ineffective. Still, most men (or couples) don’t like using the penis pump: The report concludes that “low patient acceptability limits the application or use of this therapy.”
A vacuum pump is very simply a cylinder that fits the penis tightly so that no air can get into the cylinder, and the air that is in there gets pushed out. It is a vacuum pressure that helps to stretch the tissues in the penis so that they fill up with more blood and your erection can get bigger and stronger than ever before.
Now that you know how it works, you may be wondering if it works. Vacuum devices sound good in theory, but rarely do they actually work longer than just temporarily, and they could cause significant damage to your penis if used over a long period of time. You are essentially subjecting your penis to such pressure that it can rupture your blood vessels and cause internal bleeding. Although it is true that the blood vessels will heal in time, if you use the pump over a long period of time, it can cause damage that is irreversible.
The vacuum pumps have proved successful in studies of penile rehabilitation. Certain procedures-like radical prostatectomies-can cause temporary impotence as a result of nerve damage. If you go long enough without a spontaneous erection, some of your penile tissue can atrophy, causing long-term dysfunction. It turns out that postoperative use of a penis pump may help stave off this damage.
Penis pumps are available over the counter, and some men without ED use them for masturbation or to increase their length or girth. To accomplish this latter goal, vendors suggest 30-minute sessions three or four times per week for a period of several months. The medical literature, however, does not support the idea that vacuum constriction will produce a lasting change in penis size.
If anything, overuse of the pump can damage the penis. The American Urological Association recommends only those devices that come with a “vacuum limiter,” which automatically lets in air if too much negative pressure builds in the tube. Excessive pumping without the vacuum limiter can cause penile bruising, or-in extreme cases-very serious tissue damage.
Whether you are thinking of taking penis enlargement pills or other methods for male enhancement, please contact a physician and see if your issues of male inadequacy can be solved through medical and psychiatric treatment.
So many men want to increase the size of their penis and are willing to try all sorts of techinques to gain male enhancement and end up falling prey to charlatans and scams.
So what are the truths?
The truth is most men are sensitive about their penis size and late night infomercials are now targeting this market. In fact, the market is growing so huge, that the FCC is considering limiting the time of day these commercials should run. From Viagra to Enzyte, television is saturated with ads on penis enlargement pills and male enhancement drugs, and with a new market for Medicare approved vacuum pumps. The worst part about this industry is every male wants to learn the facts, but none are going to ask their buddy about what they use to make them larger.
So what is the truth?
Do these products work?
Well, that depends on what your expectations are. For those that are seeking simply to increase the duration of an erection, then medically approved products like Viagra or Cialis work well. But for those who want to increase the size of their penis, the issues are more complicated. Pills like Enzyte and Extenze have never been evaluated by the FDC for effectiveness and you should be cautious before sending out for their free samples because they are not free in the long run.
So what are some of the ways to enlarge your penis?
Surgery
Involving cutting the suspensory ligament that controls the elongation of your penis, surgery does work and can even increase the girth by placing fat sheaths inside the shaft. This technique is known to work, but can have lasting residual effects like irregular tilting and the fat settling in the wrong areas.
Hanging Weights
One of the oldest and most barbaric ideas in male enhancement, this method can increase the length of a flaccid penis, but should never be done due to long term damage like lesions and insensitivity.
Exercise
Some people promise exercise techniques to strengthen your member and make it bigger. But do not fall for this concept. The simple fact is there are no muscles in your penis and it can’t become larger due to exercise.
Vacuum Pumps
While these products do work, they are only a temporary increase due to pushing blood into the penis. There are real long term ways to damage yourself if using these with the worst being the breaking of the blood vessels in your penis.
Medication and Pills
As I stated, the male enhancement industry is huge right now and there are a lot of companies selling placebos and making millions of dollars off of men just looking for way to feel adequate. While there are pills that can enhance your erection, there are no FDA tested and approved penis enlargement pills, so take these pills at your own risk.
Human Growth Hormones
While there is some evidence that HGH helps penis growth during puberty, there is no evidence that is works after this point. Using HGH can have serious side effects that lead to diabetes.
Penis Patch
A new version of an old trick, the penis patch is just another method to use the same herbs that are in the pills with the same effects.
There is only one natural way to increase your penis. If you are overweight, every thirty to forty pounds you lose will add about an inch to your size. So if you fat and small, lose weight, and if you skinny and small, there might be no help for you at all.
