Penis Enlargement - What are the parts in my penis?
Before venturing into the
long explanations of all these websites, I went to a medical doctor’s site for
a very specific description of the parts of the penis. Having a full understanding of the
appendage’s functions and inner workings from an accredited medical doctor
provides a more accurate explanation. The penis contains two chambers, the corpora
cavernosa, which run the length of the upper side of the penis and the urethra,
which is the channel for urine and ejaculate, running along the underside of
the corpora cavernosa. Filling the corpora cavernosa is a spongy tissue
consisting of smooth muscles, fibrous tissues, spaces, veins, and arteries. A
membrane, called the tunica albuginea, surrounds the corpora cavernosa. Veins
located in the tunica albuginea drain blood out of the penis. The penile skin envelopes the shaft and can be
moved freely over the erect organ. The underlying fascial layer (fibrous tissue
network ) is continuous with Scarpa’s fascia of the lower abdominal wall,
continuing as the dartos fascia of the scrotum and Colles’ fascia of the
perineum. The Colles fascia attaches to
the posterior border of the perineal membrane.
The superficial dorsal vein is
seen in this layer of the fascia. The fascia is the deep layer of the penile
fascia that covers both the corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum in
separate facial compartments.
Fascia is composed of two layers, a superficial
layer and a deep layer. Superficial fascia is attached to the skin and is
composed of connective tissue containing varying quantities of fat. Deep fascia underlies the superficial
layers, to which it is loosely joined by fibrous strands. It is thin, but
strong and densely packed, and serves to cover the muscles and to partition
them into groups.
The fundiform
ligament is a thickening of the superficial penile fascia and is deep to the
suspensory ligament . The attachment of the ligament to the pubic symphysis
maintains the penile position during erection. Severance of this ligament will
lead to a lower angulation of the penile shaft during erection.
The
tunica albuginea forms a thick fibrous coat to the spongy tissue of the corpora
cavernosa and corpus spongiosum. It consists of two layers, the outer
longitudinal and the inner circular. The tunica albuginea becomes thicker
centrally where it forms a groove to accommodate the corpus spongiosum. The
corpora are separated in the center by an intercavernous septum. The septum is
incomplete distally, perforated on its dorsal margin by vertically orientated
openings in the pectiniform septum that provides communication between the
corpora. Along the inner aspect of the tunica albuginea, numerous flattened
columns or sinusoidal trabeculae composed of fibrous tissue, elastin fibers and
smooth muscle surround the endothelium-lined sinusoids or cavernous spaces. In
addition, a row of structural trabeculae arises near the junction of the three
corporal bodies and inserts in the wall of the corpora about the mid-plane of
the circumference. The tunical albuginea provides a tough uniform backing for
the engorged sinusoidal spaces. The tunical albuginea of the corpus spongiosum
is thinner and contains smooth muscles that aid ejaculation. The glands are
devoid of tunica albuginea. The corpus spongiosum becomes bulbous where it is
covered by the bulbospongiosus to form the urethral bulb.
If perchance after reading the paragraphs above you still
feel a need to "do something" about your penis size, I spent countless hours
researching the options on the market, form the "natural" exercises that will
increase the size of your penis to surgery.
My journey of fact finding began with all the options on
the market and medical opinions on what is from a simple prosthetic penis
attachment or sleeve to penis enlargement surgery. I first started my search on the Internet looking for medical
journals and articles written by sex therapists and urologists. This was a daunting task and found a few
relative and insightful articles that had credentials to back the writers. I additionally found several websites
proclaiming they make the best pills, you can do it naturally through exercise,
penis pumps increase your size along with extension devices and
appliances. I couldn’t believe the
supposed claims these companies were making, especially when I spent a
tremendous amount of time at the medical journal and non-profit medical sites
that contradicted everything these so called miracle performing widgets and
pill sites proclaimed.
So
basically, there are five options for men in the area of penis enlargement,
many of these are temporary, potentially damaging to the penile organ, and
quite frankly a method to grab your money. From the research I read, surgery is the only permanent method of
enlargement, however, it does have its risks as well. So, with a skeptic’s point of view, the continued parts of the
article will describe each option available.
