The penis is an organ particularly rich in blood vessels and any surgical intervention is risky. The judgment of the operation must be well measured, and the manner and conditions, in case of such a choice, must be well studied in advance. Unlike women who discuss among themselves, on forums and blogs even plastic surgery of their genital organs, it is an exception to come across a story of a man who underwent penile surgery on the world wide web or to hear a “tale” between the representatives of the stronger sex. The advantage in women’s approach before deciding on such a serious procedure is that they gather enough information about the health risks, complications, benefits, sensations, in general, everything that may be related to the specific medical activity. Men act like men. After choosing the action, they enter a clinic and… Women are more concerned about their health. In contrast, men are not always looking for the best treatment for themselves, according to the president of the American Urological Society, Dr. Dennis Pesis. Although in the last 15 years, according to him, there have been serious advances in this type of surgery, the expert advises men to be careful when deciding to undergo penile surgery. The warning is not accidental. In the last week, the case of a Kentucky driver suing his urologist for the amputation of part of the penis during circumcision (circumcision) made headlines in the American media. The case was won by the doctor these days, according to whom the reason for his excessive intervention was cancerous changes in the genital organ of the driver, which would have led to his fatal end. In the United States, tens of thousands of adult men undergo circumcision every year, and thousands of other types of operations on the genital organ to remove genital warts and enlarge it. The unfortunate case with the driver and according to the American experts is indeed an exception, but the topic remains relevant that men should really be informed in detail before deciding on any surgical intervention on their genital organ. What questions should a man really ask himself before undergoing penile surgery… 1. Do I really need the procedure? Here even the saying “Measure twice, cut once.” seems not strong enough. Indeed, one should seriously consider whether to undergo penile surgery with all the pros and cons. The penis is a richly blood-supplied organ, which means that many blood vessels pass through it, and any surgical intervention can be risky. Men undergoing circumcision as adults should check their bleeding risks. Such is available, for example, when taking anticoagulants, including aspirin. Before undergoing penile surgery, the surgeons themselves recommend trying other less risky methods against erectile dysfunction, such as taking medication, applying vacuum devices,injections… It is also important what kind of anesthesia will be used during the operation – local or general. It is preferably local, where sensations in the area can be removed as much as possible and no pain is experienced while remaining conscious. Riskier, according to specialists, are full anesthesia, although the patient then knows that during the operation he will “sleep” and is calm.

Genital warts on the penis are treated in several other main ways: drug treatment for self-administration, drug therapy carried out in the specialist’s office, nitrogen treatment, laser therapy… 2. What about the options offered by surgery against erectile dysfunction? According to specialists, there are different types of implants that are surgically inserted into the penis in case of erectile dysfunction. Usually, one surgeon is good at performing one particular method. So, before planning the operation on the penis, it is necessary to understand, firstly, whether there are no other options, apart from the methods offered by the doctor, and secondly, whether he is the most capable surgeon for the type of intervention. Two types of surgery that are practiced for erectile dysfunction are more popular. In one, implants are inserted, which are cylindrical containers inside the penis, a pump and a tube with an outlet at the scrotum or abdominal wall. In order to achieve an erection after the implantation of this system, a special liquid is introduced into the cylinders before sex. After sex, the fluid is released.
