Please also acquaint yourself with the American Urological Association policy statement relating to Penile Augmentation.
"The American Urological Association, Inc.® (AUA) considers injection of fat cells for increasing penile girth (width) to be a procedure which has not been shown to be safe or effective.
The AUA also considers the cutting of the suspensory ligament of the penis for increasing penile length in adults to be a procedure that has not been shown to be safe or effective."
Glossary of Terms
Penis: The male organ used for urination and sex
Suspensory ligament: Band of tissue that holds the penis up against the pubic bone. |

| Male
circumcision, sexually transmitted disease, and risk of HIV.

Projet San Francisco, California, USA.
Our objective was to describe associations among male circumcision,
behavioral and demographic variables, ulcerative and nonulcerative
sexually transmitted disease (STD), and human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) infection via a cross-sectional study in Kigali, the capital
of Rwanda. Our subjects were 837 married men who volunteered for
HIV testing and counselling. Uncircumcised men had a relatively
low-risk profile in that they reported fewer lifetime sexual partners
and prostitute contacts than circumcised men and were more likely
to live in rural areas with lower HIV prevalence rates. Uncircumcised
men were also less likely to report a history of sexually transmitted
disease (64% versus 73%, p = 0.01), although they were more likely
to report genital ulceration (GUD) (24% versus 17%, p < 0.03)
and to have inguinal adenopathy noted on physical exam (42% versus
29%, p = 0.009). Despite the low-risk profile, uncircumcised men
had a higher prevalence of HIV infection than circumcised men (29%
versus 21% HIV positive, p = 0.02), which was most marked in men
reporting five or more lifetime sex partners (36% versus 23% HIV
positive, p = 0.005) or contact with prostitutes (35% versus 23%
HIV positive, p = 0.009). Circumcision remained a predictor of HIV
infection in multivariate analyses (multivariate odds ratio 1.69,
95% confidence interval 1.16-2.47). Lack of circumcision is associated
with a higher risk of HIV infection in Rwandan men. Further research
is needed to determine whether this higher risk is due in part to
poor hygiene or to complex mechanisms operating through the acquisition
of other sexually transmitted diseases. Circumcision may be an appropriate
risk reduction approach for men with known exposures to the virus
when there are constraints to alternatives, such as condom use.
