Penis Enlargement Myths Exposed: What Works and What Doesn’t

Written by David Mills | Mar 26, 2025 2:31:03 AM

When it comes to penis enlargement, misinformation is everywhere.

From internet ads promising miraculous growth with pills and creams to surgical misconceptions, it's easy for men to feel confused or misled. Here, we break down some of the most common myths and provide medically accurate information based on expert insights from our specialists. 

Do Penis Pills and Creams Work?

The internet is full of products claiming to increase penis size instantly with pills, creams, or lotions. However, there is no scientific evidence to support that any pill or cream can actually increase penis length or girth.

In fact, when combined with other medications, these pills could be harmful to your health. Always consult with a qualified medical professional before applying any topical treatments or taking oral supplements for male enhancement.

 

Does Masturbation Affect Penis Size?

Many men wonder whether masturbation affects penis size, and it’s a common question during consultations. The truth is, there is no scientific evidence that masturbation causes the penis to become larger or smaller.

Penis size is determined primarily by genetics and hormonal factors, particularly during puberty. While you may notice temporary swelling due to increased blood flow during arousal, this is not a permanent change. In summary, masturbation has no long-term impact on penis size or growth.

 

Will a Bigger Penis Automatically Make Me a Better Lover?

While some men associate a larger penis with greater sexual performance, sexual satisfaction depends on many factors, such as emotional intimacy, communication, technique, and connection. Unless the penis is unusually small, enlargement alone is unlikely to improve sexual performance or satisfaction.

 

Will Penis Enlargement Surgery Affect Fertility?

No. Penis enlargement surgery does not affect fertility. The procedure does not interfere with the ability to ejaculate or produce sperm. Men can still father children after surgery without any issues related to the procedure.

 

Do You Need to Be Circumcised for Penis Enlargement Surgery?

You do not need to be circumcised to undergo penis enlargement surgery. Unless a man has phimosis (a tight foreskin that cannot retract), circumcision is not necessary. In fact, the foreskin contains nerve endings that can enhance sexual sensation. Circumcision would only be recommended if the foreskin is tight enough to interfere with the procedure or post-surgical recovery.

 

Are There Scars After Penis Enlargement Surgery?

Yes, but they are minimal and well-hidden. Lengthening is achieved through a small half-moon incision at the base of the penis, concealed in the natural skin fold. Girth enhancement uses fat transfer, where fat is extracted via micro-cannulas, leaving only small needle marks that fade over time, just like the lengthening scar.
