Does penis size actually matter?
Penis size has many intricate complexities and considerations, and has it been a topic of interest for centuries?
When it comes to size, it’s just as much about the actual size as it is about your own preferences and perception.
Let’s consider a few things. Firstly, we can measure penis size in different ways. There’s the girth when flaccid, and when erect, the flaccid length, and the erect length. You have have concerns about the flaccid size, or be more focussed on the measurements when erect. Then there’s the proportions to consider.
Realistically, as long as your penis functions normally, then objectively, of course size doesn’t matter. But sometimes it’s more than pure function.
It’s important to understand if and how your concerns about your size are affecting your day-to-day life. Some men may shy away at the beach or gym, wearing looser, baggier clothing, or hold back in intimate moments.
If you aren’t happy with your size, then the first step is to understand that this doesn’t mean you are abnormal or have a problem. The second step is to speak to a professional about your options.
Can a change in diet or exercise lead to natural penis enlargement?
It always pays to lead a healthy life. However a common question searched by men is if a change in diet and exercise can lead to a natural penis enlargement. So, can it? Sort of. If you are in good health and not overweight, then a lifestyle change will not increase your penis size. However, medical conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity can affect your penile tissues, or hide them, reducing your size.
So, if you carry a bit of extra fat in the pubic area, losing it can help you reclaim some penile length. Likewise, getting chronic health conditions under control may help to reclaim some size.
Are there any natural substances or herbs that can promote penis enlargement?
Let’s keep this one brief. Quite simply, there are no natural substances or herbs that are proven to increase in penis size. While there are many penis enlargement supplements sold online, they are not backed by scientific evidence.
What role do genetics play in penis size, and can it be changed?
Genetics are the primary determinant of your penis size. The genes that determine the size of your penis are mostly located on the sex chromosomes (X and Y), and are inherited from both the biological mother and father. While you cannot control your genetic makeup, general health throughout puberty is important, as it can affect how your body develops when exposed to testosterone.
What are some of the most common myths and misconceptions about penis enlargement?
There are a number of penis enlargement myths out there, and so it is important to understand the facts. Arguably the biggest myth is that penis enlargement treatments don’t work. Now while this is true for some options, many medical and surgical enlargement techniques do have evidence showing that they can increase penis size.
Another common misconception is that penis enlargements are generally safe. Of course, the risks depend on the treatment performed, with more invasive options like surgery having higher risk than things like stretching, but there are always risks nonetheless. Pumps can cause erectile dysfunction if used for extended periods of time, non-surgical methods can cause infections, while surgery can result in scarring and a loss of length.

Do penis enlargement creams and pills really work?
There is no evidence supporting claims that penis enlargement creams and pills work. While some medications used to treat erectile dysfunction may improve blood flow which increases your size during erection, they do not actually increase the size of your penile tissues.
How can one differentiate between legitimate products and scams in the penis enlargement industry?
With poor regulation among the enlargement industry, it is very challenging to discern with certainty what enlargement options are legitimate, and which ones are scams. Don’t just believe claims made at face value, especially with non-medical treatments like lotions and pumps. You should research independent studies that have analysed the risks and benefits of each option, and be careful with results that rely on self-reported measures (as men often over-state their size).
Traction devices, non-surgical methods, and some surgeries are the only treatments with evidence showing a potential increase in penis size.
Are there treatments to increase penis volume?
Yes, there are various non-surgical clinical treatments that increase penile volume and size.
