What is the medical term meaning an increase in muscle size?

Hypertrophy is the increase in muscle size. Transient hypertrophy occurs when fluid accumulation (edema) increases in specific muscles during exercise. It is often called "the pump" because after exercise, blood rushes to the muscles, instantly making them appear larger in size. Chronic hypertrophy occurs when long term resistance training results in the increase of muscle size. The duration for which the increased muscle size remains is dependent on the intensity and frequency of the workouts.


Does EMS increase the size of your penis?

I believe you are asking if EMS (electronic muscle stimulators) increase the size of your penis. First of all, EMS is designed to stimulate muscles and strengthen them. There is no muscle in the penis, and EMS devices are very strong because they are designed for muscle exercise. It would be very rough on your penis. If you did use it, it would not increase the size of your penis although it might feel like electrosex.

Is there a difference in the muscle size after a regular exercise and a strenuous exercise?

If you were talking about resistance training, the only measurable difference in size immediately after a strength training session would occur if you deliberately trained in such a way as to experience a "pump" in a muscle group. For a few minutes, that muscle group would be engorged with blood and might be slightly larger than normal. Of course, in the long term proper resistance training will increase your amount of lean muscle mass and that may (at least in men) increase the size of muscles.
