An increasing number of men with healthy and normal penises want to enlarge their penis. Therefore, this review evaluated the mental health status of men who complained of a small penis and examined the state of nonsurgical and surgical treatments for male patients seeking penile enlargement, along with a risk assessment for each. Various medical, tractional, injectable, and surgical modalities have been investigated for penile augmentation. However, the development of new products and surgical techniques, such as Penuma, and tissue engineering may yield fewer complications, good operative effects, shorter operative times, and high patient satisfaction, bringing hope to patients interested in penile enlargement.

Purpose: To characterize the learning process by comparing the clinical outcomes and learning curves of prostatic urethral lift (PUL) performed by experienced versus naïve urologists.
Methods: Consecutive patients treated with PUL at a tertiary center by an experienced urologist with > 100 PUL cases or by naïve urologists with no prior PUL experience were included in this study. Perioperative parameters, functional outcomes, complications, and retreatment rates were compared.

Ambiguous genitalia, a rare condition involving external genitalia that do not conform to typical male or female presentations, is often indicative of disorders of sexual development (DSD). A 12-year-old child from Somalia was initially assigned female due to ambiguous genitalia, including an enlarged clitoral structure and scrotal sac that the family mistakenly thought was a labia majora. This led to an inappropriate circumcision, mistaking the penis for a clitoris.

Minimally invasive treatments like prostatic artery embolization (PAE) are effective, low-morbidity alternatives for managing large-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia. This case report describes a patient with lower urinary tract symptoms and acute urinary retention treated with bilateral PAE. Though initially successful, complications included glans necrosis, urinary tract infection, prostatitis, and urosepsis, all of which resolved.

We use national probability data from the 2023 Masculinity, Sexual Health, and Politics survey to test whether conservative Protestant men in the USA are (a) more dissatisfied with the appearance/size of their penises and (b) more likely to have attempted penis enlargement. Across all three outcomes, we failed to observe any theoretically meaningful differences. Although conservative Protestant men consistently report greater dissatisfaction with the appearance and size of their penises than men who affiliated with other religions (a mixed group including Jewish, Buddhist, and Muslim men, among others), there were no religious affiliation differences in penis enlargement behavior.

Unlabelled: Objective: To assess the deformation of the bladder-neck opening and the impact of the bladder-neck angle (BNA) on urination in male patients by fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis.
Methods: We established geometric models of the bladder, prostate and urethra were established, incorporating both normal and enlarged BNAs, and assessed the effects of BNA alteration on urinary flow by FSI simulation of the flow rate and pressure of the urine within the bladder, bladder neck and urethra, and that of prostate displacement as well. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 145 male patients from the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University between June 2020 and June 2023, 39 with acute urine retention (the AUR group) and 106 without (the non-AUR group), and evaluate the impact of BNA on urination based on the urinary flow rate and prostate volume.
