Urologists Still Unconvinced by Male Enhancement Supplements

If a manufacturer of male enhancement products can afford to aggressively market products (which includes sending tons of annoying spam), it's probably making a few dollars. But that doesn't mean that most male enhancement products live up to the hype.

Urologists say that men should not pin too much hope on the male enhancement supplements and other male enhancement products offered, or forced to them on a daily basis via spam. It’s virtually impossible to tell if any of these oral male enhancers work since they are dietary supplements and are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. You only have biased online male enhancement product reviews to rely on, which are mostly not scientific in nature.

But efficacy is one thing; safety is a completely different issue. Some of these male enhancement supplements could be dangerous. Urologists don’t want you to take a chance on these herbal penis pills. If you’re curious about one of them, you should talk to your physician.

The success of the iconic blue pill and original erectile dysfunction (ED) medication Viagra or Sildenafil opened the way for natural male enhancement supplements, which do not require a prescription. Since the industry is largely unregulated, it’s not easy to estimate how big the market actually is. But experts predict the aggressive marketing of pills and other male enhancement products won't stop any time soon.

Some manufacturers get thousands of orders per month for bottles of natural penis pills that cost about $50 a bottle. Since the male enhancement industry thrives on men’s penis size insecurities, which they are embarrassed about and don’t want to discuss with their doctors, there will always be someone willing to try them. Just like women want to have bigger breasts and butts, men want to have larger penises.

Natural penis pills contain aphrodisiac herbs, including those that have vasodilating properties like Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) and Yohimbe. These herbs have long been used in Asia and other parts of the world as natural ED treatments.

Some of the penis pills promise size enlargement, others promise more libido. Many of these capsules and tablets are formulated to achieve these results through enhanced blood circulation, but not all of them are created the same way.

The claims of penis pills are misleading because they help increase the size of the erect penis, not while the organ is flaccid. They are erection enhancers, not size enhancers. When you have an improved erection, your size increases but not because your penis is longer and thicker; it’s because you have increased blood flow. This size increase is temporary.
