Penis Enhancement Product Warnings
Penis Enhancement Product Warnings There are a great deal of sexual products on the market that are marketed to men to enhance their penis. From products that increase penis size and provide firmer erections and those that promise to help men last longer during sex. The problem is that many products do not work, and some can even cause serious health issues. This includes products that are sold through mainstream stores. There are dangerous penis enhancement products available online, including from online marketplaces and retail stores.
One way to check a product to see if anything negative has been reported is to do an internet search cross-referencing it and the FDA or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. These both protect consumers by alerting them to concerns regarding products on the market.
Penis Enlargement Scams & Risks
It is not uncommon to see penis enlargement products and techniques on the internet, including pumps, pills, penis weights, exercises (jelqing), and surgeries. However, there is little scientific proof that many of these methods or products work. In some cases, they can cause damage to your penis or overall health.
Pills, Lotions & Supplements
Pills and lotions may claim to be natural and use vitamins, minerals, herbs, and even hormones to increase the size or performance of the penis. However, many of them are ineffective or, in some cases, may be harmful. Many of them contain hidden ingredients that have black-market prescription drugs, such as high doses of Viagra, Cialis, and others. You can check the FDA website to see the brands that have had this discovered but understand there are still others that have not been exposed.
Penis Pumps
Penis pumps are designed to help men who struggle with erectile dysfunction. Using penis pumps to enlarge the penis can draw blood into the penis, making it look temporarily larger. However, using one too long or improperly can cause damage to the elastic tissue of the penis, which can cause weaker erections.
Penis Exercises
Penis exercises such as jelqing can lead to scarring, pain, and penis disfigurement when done for long periods or to extreme levels. It can also cause damage to the elastic tissue of the penis, leading to weaker erections.
Penis Traction
Penis stretchers, such as a penile traction device, are primarily used to straighten the penis, such as in the case of Peyronie's disease, where the penis is crooked. They can also stretch penis skin to increase penis size, but great care must be taken as it can cause the penis to stretch too much, causing a less firm erection.
Protect Your Penis & Health
Please consult your healthcare provider or urologist before attempting any type of penis enhancement or penis enlargement to ensure that the method is safe and suitable for you and your specific health conditions.
Also, do not disregard erectile dysfunction or sexual performance issues, as they may indicate an underlying health issue. To learn more, please see our Erectile Dysfunction Guide.
