What sounds like every man’s dream became one teen’s nightmare. Last October, an unidentified Florida boy went to doctors complaining of a penis “too large for intercourse,” saying he was also unable to play sports or even wear most clothing without his massive dong showing through the fabric. Poor guy. Although it was only 7 inches long, he had a circumference of 10 inches, so his penis was about the size as an average mayonnaise jar.
Dr. Rafael Carrion, the urologist who treated the teen, is quoted as saying: “There comes a time in every urologist’s career that a patient makes a request so rare and impossible to comprehend that all training breaks down and leaves the physician speechless”
“His penis had inflated like a balloon,” he said after inspecting it, “Although it was a generous length,its girth was just massive, especially around the middle.”
From HuffPo:
The shape and massive size of the penis was the result of the teen’s sickle cell anemia. Irregular blood cells would block penile blood vessels and lead to swelling and priapism — a long-lasting and painful erection. This had happened three times since the boy was 10, which “progressively led” to a deformed penis, according to the Journal.
Carrion said he couldn’t find any precedent for penis reduction surgery. His team ended up opting to slice along the patient’s circumcision scar, unwrap the skin, and then remove chunks of tissue from each side.
He added that the teen is “very satisfied” with his new penis, which is still “generous” in size but is now more standard in appearance.
After what’s being called the “world’s first” penis reduction surgery, doctors were able to make it symmetrical.
Not sure what’s happening in the first pic, above, so I’d appreciate it if they released actual photos of the phallus in question.
Since he was 10, the teen, who has a history of sickle cell disease, had three episodes of priapism — a medical condition in which the penis stays erect for hours — that “progressively” led to his penis deformity, surgeons said in the report.
