UROLOGY

Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in the prostate. The prostate is a small walnut-shaped gland in males that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm.

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and are confined to the prostate gland, where they may not cause serious harm. However, while some types of prostate cancer grow slowly and may need minimal or even no treatment, other types are aggressive and can spread quickly.

Prostate cancer may cause no signs or symptoms in its early stages.

Prostate cancer that’s more advanced may cause signs and symptoms such as:

  • Trouble urinating
  • Decreased force in the stream of urine
  • Blood in the urine
  • Blood in the semen
  • Bone pain
  • Losing weight without trying
  • Erectile dysfunction

What is penis enlargement surgery?

a procedure that aims to increase the length or girth of the penis.

Surgery may involve the insertion of silicone implants, the transfer of fat cells, or the use of skin grafts to increase the size of the penis. Other approaches may take the form of cosmetic surgery to give the appearance of a longer penis.

How does the procedure work?

There are a few different procedures for penis enlargement surgery, each of which has its own method.

Silicone implants:

This type of surgery involves the insertion of a crescent-shaped piece of medical-grade silicone under the penile skin to make the penis longer and wider.

Fat transfer:

During a fat transfer procedure, a surgeon will remove fat cells from a fatty area of the body and inject them into the shaft of the penis.

They do so by making small incisions into the sides of the penis and injecting purified fat cells into these areas.

Suspensory ligament division:

Suspensory ligament division surgery, or ligamentolysis, offers a way to make the flaccid penis appear longer by cutting the suspensory ligament. This ligament attaches the penis to the pubic bone.

Penis enlargement surgery can be effective for people who have medical issues that affect the function of their penis. However, surgery is not advisable for someone with a functioning penis in the normal size range

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

ED is defined as trouble getting or keeping an erection that’s firm enough for sex.

Though it’s not rare for a man to have some problems with erections from time to time, ED that is progressive or happens routinely with sex is not normal, and it should be treated.

ED can happen:

  • Most often when blood flow in the penis is limited or nerves are harmed
  • With stress or emotional reasons
  • As an early warning of a more serious illness, like: atherosclerosis (hardening or blocked arteries), heart disease, high blood pressure or high blood sugar from Diabetes
