Male Genital Surgery

What is the male genital surgery?

The male genital surgery is the surgical treatment aimed to correct and improve the function and the shape of the male genitals. The appearance and activity of the external male genitals are factors of particular relevance in our society and our culture. Through all human history, male genitalia have been associated to virility and reproduction. Most men associate the size of their virile member with their sexual performance.

What are the basic parts of the external male genital organs?

For your understanding, we refer the basic components of the external male genital organs: The penis is made up of muscles, nerve vessels, and two parallel cylinders called corpus cavernosum, which are the pair of sponge-like regions of erectile tissue.

Through the center of the corpus spongiosum runs the urethra. The base of the corpus spongiosum is located near the prostate and ends in the glans. The base anchors to the abdominal wall and makes possible the structure to stand firm. Penis size must be considered from the pubic fat to the glans. Penis is basically made up of:

The cylindrical part of the penis is the trunk or “body” of the penis and the conoid part is the glans. The main structure of both is vascular, a network of vessels very communicating between them. The body or trunk of the penis is constituted by two corpus cavernosum and one corpus spongiosum. The corpus cavernosum contains elastic fibrillary tissue which may be enlarging up to four times its basal size during the erection. The corpus cavernosum are wrapped in a membrane that is called tunica albuginea. The corpus spongiosum is located in between the two cylinders of the corpus cavernosum and surrounds the urethra, and it expands itself in the glans. The base of the glans is called the corona. The penis is wrapped by a layer of retractile skin.

What can I expect during the clinical assessment?

In the first consultation with the physician you should clearly express what you want to change or improve. During the consultation you may feel a little anxious, but remember you are with a health professional that is willing to listen to your desires. Through a physical examination, lab analyses and urologic assessment, the physician may determine the problem.
