Penis Size

The Flip Side – Penis REDUCTION Surgery?

Too big or Too small?

Considering how obsessed people can be about penis size, I comes as no surprise that penis enlargement has become the hottest topic in town. Research done on enlargement devices have found them to be effective and new surgical techniques are advancing enlargement options as well. While the technology of enlargement has become front page news, another story broke in early 2015 that had everyone doing a double take.

When Big is Simply Too Big

Too BigA case report published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine has chronicled the unlikely story of a young man who sought help for a penis that was, quite simply, too large. The young man, who remains unidentified in order to protect his privacy, reportedly sought out medical help for a rare medical condition which caused him to have prolonged erections and abnormal swelling of the penis. BY the time he found the help he needed, his penis was 7 inches long, which is within the normal range, but a whopping 10 inches in diameter. Doctors helping the young man said that when he was erect, his penis looked very similar to an American football.

The condition cause serious physical pain for the young man and also prevented him from playing sports, wearing certain types of trousers and even having sex since the girth was simply too much. Penile surgery is notoriously difficult to perform but he was able to find a team of surgeons willing to take on the case and who later published their experience in a medical journal. The surgery itself took place in Florida and was performed by Dr. Carrion, a leading urologist with the University of South Florida.

Doctors performed this penile reduction surgery, the first of its kind, by tucking either side of the penis in and removing some of the excess. They likened the procedure to a tummy tuck of the penis. According to Dr. Carrion, the surgery was an unmitigated success and the teenager was sent home with a functioning penis that ended up being ‘very generous’ though no final measurements were released to the public.

Keeping Things in Perspective

As this case has made headlines since its publication, many men have laughed and said they wished they had such problems. The truth, however, is that being at any end of the spectrum beings with it both positive and negative aspects. Most men who are concerned about being a little too small or at the smaller end of the normal range have the option of using penis enlargement devices in the safety and privacy of their own home. Men who may feel that too much size is an issue clearly don’t always have that luxury.

The success of this first reduction surgery also serves as a lesson in penis surgery in general. While surgery still isn’t a viable option for most men seeking penis enlargement, advancements in the field can be applied to a better understanding of how the penis works and how it can be enlarged. Already penis enlargement device manufacturers are seeking out ways to improve their current products and develop the next generation of enlargement devices.

Penis size is an issue that affects men on a physical and emotional level. Whether their problem has to do with feeling too small or too big, the crux of the issue remains the same – size matters. The worldwide attention this case has received will no doubt result in more and more men coming forward to share their own experiences and help others who until now have felt isolated and alone.
