Brief Answer:
only surgery can help

Detailed Answer:
Hello Young man,

Thanks for writing to us.

As such there is no medicine or exercise which can increase basic natural size of penis. No evidence supports such pills effectiveness. Only surgical intervention can increase the size of penis permanently. That is only indicated in rare situations.

Please do not use enlargement/enhancement penis pills.

Let me know your size of penis in flaccid and in erect phase so I can guide you further.

There are pills which can increase size of penis and maintain erection for long if there is erectile dysfunction. 5- PDE inhibitor group of medicines are used for this purpose which includes sildenafil or tadalafil. It is proven drug for male erectile dysfunction. One of them should be used 2 hours prior to sex. They cause headache, stuffy nose nausea and gastric discomfort like common side effects. Proper physical check-up of cardiac system should be done by a doctor before starting the same. These are prescription medicines and you need to consult doctor/psychiatrist/sexologist for the prescription.

I will be happy to help further after your response.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Brief Answer:
consult urologist once for examination and evalulation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for follow up and sorry for delayed response.

Normal size of penis in flaccid state is 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) while in erect position 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 cm). It varies according to body structure and race. Size of penis does not matter much for satisfying partner.
Anterior 3 inches of female vaginal wall is sensitive to sexual stimuli. Only 3.5 inches of erect penis is more than sufficient to satisfy female.

Lasting erection for 5 minutes is not abnormal. But you can perform longer with medicines like clomipramine or depoxetine which are used in treatment of premature ejaculation.

Penis less than 2 inches in size in flaccid state requires evaluation. You should consult urologist for examination and if needed Penile Doppler/Scrotal sonography investigations can be done.

Hope this answer will help.

Take care.
