Penis Enlargement

Perhaps the most authoritative source on the subject is the Food and Drug Administration. The companies selling them also market the pumps as capable of enlarging one's penis. However, this method holds more promise than either pills or pumps.
The corresponding increase in size to the penis while erect is either not as dramatic, or is nonexistent, depending on whom you ask. Companies that offer training programs in these exercises often liken penis exercise to bodybuilding. This is partly because much of the science is so new that long term studies have not yet produced clear results.
Many doctors who offer this service will not perform the surgery unless a man\'s penis is so small that it can be considered a medical condition. Another reason is that many of the scientists who are publishing results are hired by the companies that are selling these products. It is possible that the exercises simply cause a temporary increase in the amount of blood in the penis during the exercises, which customers misinterpret as a permanently larger penis. The possible negative effects of enlargement options besides surgery are less clear.
However, penis enlargement surgery mostly just adds length and girth to the flaccid penis, which is, of course, not very useful. Deleterious side-effects of surgery include disfigurement of the penis and loss of ability to achieve erection. Web sites use tricky wording such as "We offer an FDA approved Product to assist with impotence and reportedly gain up to 3 inches or more!" to get around the fact that their products are not FDA approved for other applications. This is the case for the type of surgery injects fat into the penis.
Exercises that are supposed to naturally enlarge the penis, sometimes know as "jelqing," (yes, this is the correct spelling) are also not approved. These methods include surgery, drugs, supplements, pumps, and exercises. Of course, these results may well be biased.
For example, there are pumps on the market that are FDA approved for the treatment of impotence. The only method of penis enlargement that is widely considered effective in the medical community is surgery. Some web sites try and get around this fact by advertising their products as "FDA approved" when in fact they are only FDA approved for the treatment of impotence. While this is much simpler and safer, the results are generally temporary, since the fat is gradually reabsorbed by the body. This comparison is not valid, however, because the penis is not a muscle (for more information, please see our male internal anatomy page). In addition, the possible side effects are serious enough make surgery too risky for any male except those with an exceptionally small penis. Pumps have also been reported to cause injuries when used incorrectly.
For example, there are pumps on the market that are FDA approved for other applications. Web sites use tricky wording such as "We offer an FDA approved Product to assist with impotence and reportedly gain up to 3 inches or more!" to get around the fact that their products are not FDA approved for the treatment of impotence. The FDA has not approved any method for the penis enlargement.
This is because it is widely accepted that the dangers are too great to warrant the possible beneficial effects for most patients. They claim that since exercise can increase muscle size, why shouldn't it increase penis size? It is difficult to find solid scientific data concerning the validity of these claims, and the possible side-effects. Many men are concerned with their penis size.
Web sites use tricky wording such as "We offer an FDA approved Product to assist with impotence and reportedly gain up to 3 inches or more!" to get around the fact that their products are not FDA approved for penis enlargement. There are reports of exercises that were done improperly, resulting in injuries to the penis.
Because of this, there are countless pages on the Internet and elsewhere that advertise various ways of enlarging a man's penis. Web sites offering pills and creams tend to not address the FDA approval issue, which should be evidence enough that they are in no way FDA approved.
