Abstract. In this scientific study we reviewed the literature on non-invasive and invasive methods of male genital enhancement. A non-systematic review of current scientific evidence was conducted to obtain reliable data on surgical and non-surgical penile procedures, which may form the basis of possible indications and recommendations for the future. To achieve this goal, we conducted a systematic search for scientific medical information in English-language databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, AMED (Allied and Complementary Medicine) and HMIC (Health Management Information Consortium). We analyzed all articles that met the specified search parameters. In addition, a manual search for relevant references in the found texts was conducted.
The study conducted in this paper examined and recorded the main results related to changes in penis size in men who used both non-surgical and surgical methods of penis enlargement. One of the key goals of this study was to examine in detail the impact of different methods on the length and girth of the penis, as well as to analyze possible complications after these procedures.
The principles of choosing treatment methods for patients who express a desire to increase the size of the penis are based on the individual characteristics of the patient, his medical indicators and personal preferences. Doctors should take into account the patient's general health status, possible risks of complications, and his realistic expectations of the procedure.
Based on the results of the literature analysis, a strategy for working with patients before penis enlargement procedures was generalized. This strategy includes detailed counseling of the patient about possible methods, their benefits and risks, as well as taking into account his personal wishes. An important step is to prepare the patient for the procedure, including all the necessary examinations and tests to determine his suitability for the intervention.
