I was amazed by the amount of misinformation in the above blog. I can’t imagine it was written by anyone with a scientific background. The statement that the average penis is between 3 and 5 inches is about as accurate and misleading as saying the average American male is 5’9” when the range of average is 5’3” to 6’9”. The point there is a big difference between four inches and six inches – about 50% The confusion lies in equating average with normal. Normal is best thought of in terms of function a normal penis has a shape and a size that allows the person to function with it as it was meant to function. A normal penis can be small or large and, if you will medium in size and still function “normally” the other reason that measurement can be misleading is that even though the size maybe the same it looks different on different bodies! It is correct that there is little support & scientifically for nonsurgical methods and they do damage. There is for surgery. Surgery, called Phalloplasty, is recognized by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery as safe and effective. It is given that is should be done a well-trained and experienced certified surgeon. It is also a given that not everyone us a good candidate for surgery just because he has a penis. I have been doing cosmetic phalloplasty for over 20 years and over seven thousand cases. I know it works on the properly selected patient. This is too serious a subject not to devote my time and energy to improve the quality of life and relieve the pain that men really suffer with. Dr. G
