Penis enlargement is big business which is never over as almost every male person is concerned over the size of his member and is on the lookout for medicines, creams, device, exercises and surgery to improve his penis. Some of these men continue to enlarge their penis while others are just happy with one successful method.

One of the oldest methods is to take herbal pills, creams and tonics. The Chinese ginseng is called a wonder drug and they consider this herb to be a very useful one. Men have been taking it in raw form, in medicines, in patches and in creams and are reported to be happy with the result. It is said to enhance sexual power, retain the erection for a longer time and give a general feeling of good health and cheer to the person who uses it.

Traction or using devices which stretch organs are also well known and have in fact been used for centuries. People from certain tribes in Africa who consider long necks or ear lobes as beautiful, stretched these parts over a period of time and they have succeeded in adding inches to them. They used the same methods for penis enlargement and a high degree of success has been reported. Traction in the form of device or exercise consists of stretching the penis everyday for periods of time so that after many days, the result is appreciable. When exercises are done, the person himself normally does them, so there can be no chance of going wrong. Unless, in his eagerness, he overstretches and causes harm. Since there is no direct medical supervision, this can be a risky business.

Pumps on the other hand, are used which make the penis bigger by engorging it with blood. This is not a reliable method and is not very popular according to statistics. The principle used here is that the penis gets bigger when aroused because the brain stimulates it by sending blood to the spongy areas around the penis which make it big and firm. There is also a chance of lasting damage occurring if you continue to use them as well as a loss of sensitivity.

Surgery consists of injecting gelatin or fatty material into the area around the penis. This is almost like the breast enlargement operation but is not as safe. The tendency of this injected material to move or form lumps are high. This will create more harm than good. Another surgical method is to cut the ligaments which anchor the penis to the pubic bone. This makes the penis drop about an inch or two from the body, thus gaining in length. But his does not add girth to the penis and has the added risk of the penis being anchorless.
