Episode 270: Penis Enlargement – What Does (And Doesn’t) Work

One of men’s biggest sexual concerns is whether their penis is big enough. In fact, nearly half of adult men report dissatisfaction with their size, almost all of whom wish they were larger. This has led a growing number of men to explore what they can do to make their penises bigger, and an entire industry has popped up hoping to capitalize on this. In today’s episode, we’re going to explore the many and varied approaches to penile augmentation, including which ones are supported by the science and the potential risks and rewards.

My guest is Dr. Fenwa Milhouse, a board-certified, fellowship-trained urologist. Dr. Milhouse practices in Chicago, IL and treats a wide range of adults with sexual difficulties and sexual health concerns. She currently sits on the board of the Chicago Urological Society, and is widely known in the media as “Your Favorite Urologist.” Dr. Milhouse is the star of TLC network’s Dr. Down Below.

Some of the topics we explore in this episode include:

Do any of the pills that promise to make your penis bigger actually work?
Is there any benefit to penile stretching?
How can penis rings and pumps help men who are worried about their size?
Can dermal filler help to increase penis size? How does it work?
If you’re concerned about your penis size, what do you really need to know?
