Penis Enlargement

1) LIGAMENTOLYSIS (surgery to cut ligaments)

We men see only the outer part of our penis. There is also the continuation of the penis adhering to the pubic bone, which we call KURURA.

The logic in this surgery is to obtain a longer appearance in the penis by separating the fundiform and suspensor ligaments that hang the penis to the pubis, that is, the pelvic bone.

We combine this method with the most frequently used skin advancement technique v-y plasty.
In order to prevent the penis from escaping backwards, we suture the pubic bone using the fascia or tissues next to the scarpa fascia or ingiunal cord, which we call inverting suture.

Since we close the area between the penis and the pubic bone with this technique, the penis does not escape backwards.
We achieve an average lengthening of 1.5 cm -4 cm.

The lengthening process takes about 30 minutes.

The rate of elongation in the penis is directly proportional to the depth and width of the ligaments.
This lengthening technique is the technique in which the invisible part of the penis is removed and visually active elongation is provided.

2.SUPRA PUBIC LİPOSUCTİON/LİPECTOMY

We call the upper part of the penis the pubis region (pubic region). The fat in this area covers the penis and covers the main visible part. Our patients with such complaints usually tell us that when I sit down, my penis slips inside.
If there is an excess of fat in this area and according to the anatomical condition of the person, it is called lipectomy. When these fats are removed, the patient’s penis will become more visible. It is combined with ligamentolysis (cutting of suspensory ligaments) operation according to the anatomical condition and examination of the individual. Due to the excess of lymph tissues in the pubis region, it is natural to have edema after the operation.

Although the operation is prolonged in direct proportion to the individual’s pubis, i.e. groin area fat, it takes an average of 30 minutes.

3) PENOSCROTAL WEB CORRECTION

This technique, in other words, is the process of aesthetic removal and suturing of the skin in the form of a curtain between the bag surrounding the ovary and the penis. It can usually occur due to circumcision error or congenital causes. It makes the penis look bigger as an illusion. It is a technique that provides a completely passive elongation. There is no ligament that hangs or holds the penis at the bottom of the penis. In time, scrotoplasty can also be performed to narrow the bag.
Lengthening with this technique takes an average of 30 minutes. It can be combined with other techniques.

Penis Thickening

After thousands of patient experiences, psychological traumas and sexual traumas that people receive after the experience of thousands of patients, they unfortunately attach a lot of meaning to their penises as a result of sexual traumas. Some of the success they have experienced, sexual experiences, reactions from sexual parner can become an anxiety in men over time and even a fear of sexuality over time.

Our patients with such traumas desire to quickly increase their penis to the level they want. Penis thickening is actually a form of penis enlargement. There are some methods used to enlarge the penis. These methods are determined according to the anatomical penis structure of our patients.

If we talk about these techniques, the most applied and most organic technique;

FAT INJECTION

Autologous fat transfer is the process of purifying and injecting the fat taken from the individual after certain processes.
According to the average metabolic rate and age, 40/50 percent of the amount of fat given is absorbed by the body within 6 months.

In line with the individual’s request, thickening can be performed with a fat injection again after 5-6 months.

This fat injection is simultaneously injected into the sulcus corona part of the sulcus corona in the widest area circularly on the head of the penis to provide a symmetrical organic appearance.

THICKENING WITH FILLER

Hyaronic acid based filling materials can be used to increase the thickness and volume of the penis. The injection technique is the same as in fat injection. Some of the filler material dissolves within 6 months. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and performed under clinical conditions.

ALLODERM GREFT

One of the methods of increasing the thickness around the penis in men is penis enlargement using a graft. In this technique, a thin graft obtained from the bovine heart membrane is used.
This method is also performed as open surgery. An incision is made in the foreskin or pubis area and the graft is placed in the anatomical plan and growth is achieved.

Premature Ejaculation

The problem of “uncontrolled ejaculation” or “uncontrolled ejaculation”, commonly referred to as “premature ejaculation”, “premature orgasm”, “rapid ejaculation”, is the most common problem especially in men under the age of 40. Since it is usually difficult to express and is a relative concept, there is not enough information about the frequency of occurrence (our clinical experience is that it is seen in almost one in every two men in our country). In fact, almost every man may encounter this problem at some point in his life. At least during their first sexual experience, premature ejaculation may occur due to tension and they can learn to control ejaculation over time. Men who experience premature ejaculation problems may also experience erectile dysfunction (impotence) and sexual reluctance. Men and especially couples should not exaggerate this very common problem and should not put too much weight on the man. They should know that premature ejaculation is a 100% treatable problem. Ejaculation control is definitely a condition that can be learned.

What is premature ejaculation?

The definition of premature ejaculation is the involuntary (uncontrolled) ejaculation after the penis stays in the vagina for less than 1 minute during sexual intercourse and this situation, which is not desired by the person, lasts longer than 6 months. In some books it may be 2 minutes, in others it may be 4-7 minutes or less. Instead of defining premature ejaculation by fitting it into minutes in this way (Masters and Johnson’s definition of premature ejaculation is that both partners are satisfied), we can accept it as an uncontrolled ejaculation problem and define it as follows;

Inability to control stopping at the stage before ejaculation is triggered,

This problem is recurring and repetitive in every relationship,

The sexual partner is not satisfied with this situation,

It should last for 6 months and the person should be uncomfortable with it.

The person who ejaculates prematurely usually says that “when the moment comes, he cannot hold back”. Premature ejaculation is therefore in reality a sexual disharmony. In the sexual cycle there is a plateau phase, the phase of sexual pleasure. In these men, the plateau phase lasts very short; therefore, their partner may not experience both this plateau phase and ejaculation. As a result, sexual dissatisfaction, anger and stress against the partner may develop in the woman; in the man, thoughts such as “will I not be able to satisfy my partner?”, “if I ejaculate early again” etc. lead to fear and excitement. As a result, this vicious cycle not only triggers premature ejaculation in men who already suffer from premature ejaculation, but it can also cause erectile dysfunction (impotence) and sexual reluctance. Anger, unhappiness, concentration problems, depression and loss of self-confidence frequently occur in those who have premature ejaculation problems. These can negatively affect their entire married life, social relationships and even their work life. Some men, on the contrary, take their situation for granted, downplay it, see it as normal and view sexuality as a score-based encounter rather than a pleasure. Unfortunately, this is because of the social teaching around them and the way they view sexuality.

Types of premature ejaculation;

a) Primary premature ejaculation

It is associated with the presence of a lifelong problem.

b) Secondary premature ejaculation

It is when there was no premature ejaculation problem before, but the problem occurs later.

c) Situational (periodic) premature ejaculation

Premature ejaculation against a certain partner. If there is a problem of premature ejaculation from the beginning of sexual life, it is called primary (primary, lifelong), and this problem that occurs in a certain period of a healthy sexual life is called secondary (secondary, acquired) premature ejaculation.

Types and causes of premature ejaculation:

Most of the time there is a history of rapid masturbation and fear of being caught. A man who is pressed or caught while masturbating or in his first sexual experience; in his next sexual experiences, he directs his attention to the outside, he cannot realize his own arousal and control point, he cannot focus on pleasure and emotions, his sexual pleasure turns into anxiety, fear and anxiety. All of these lead to stress, activating the sympathetic system and causing the orgasm reflex to work faster and, as a result, premature ejaculation.

Due to lack of self-confidence: If the person is not at peace with himself or the sexual partner’s approach to him, his critical attitude, etc. can cause loss of self-confidence in men, men may lose their self-confidence especially in sexuality and experience premature ejaculation.

Due to psychological reasons: Men with psychological problems such as temporary depression or anxiety may experience premature ejaculation or late ejaculation/non-ejaculation problems.

Stress-related: psychosocial stress, such as work problems, economic problems, etc. can also cause premature ejaculation.

Mixed type premature ejaculation: Premature ejaculation may be accompanied by other sexual disorders such as erectile dysfunction (impotence), sexual reluctance, or curvature and/or pain in the penis during erection (peyronie). (Ex: a man with erectile dysfunction may experience premature ejaculation due to excessive fear. Or a man with a curvature in the penis and pain in sexual intercourse may be conditioned to ejaculate as soon as possible and experience premature ejaculation).

They do not have enough information about sexuality (sexual physiology), they even have wrong information, they have little awareness of techniques to control premature ejaculation. Cultural factors, social roles and behaviors bring with them an imposition that men should be more dominant and dominant in sexuality than women. This excessive meaning attributed to the penis and male sexual identity is a very heavy burden for men. This wrong and unnecessary meaning that society attributes to male sexuality also affects men’s sexual life. For this reason, many men ejaculate prematurely during sexual intercourse due to “performance anxiety”.

Depending on the neurological system: In this rare type; they have hypersensitive sympathetic systems. As a result, they have fast functioning ejaculation reflexes. Genital area muscles (bulbocavernosus reclex) are faster.

Hypersensitivity of the penis: Especially the glans penis (head of the penis) being very sensitive to contact can lead to premature ejaculation. This type of patient group benefits highly from injection therapy in the glans penis.

Due to the psychological system: It can be caused by chronic psychological disorders such as bipolar disorder, chronic depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, personality disorders (avoidant personality disorder, dependent personality disorder, narcissistic or borderline personality disorder).

Due to physical diseases: The most common physical disorder causing premature ejaculation is inflammation of the prostate

(Sometimes premature ejaculation can also be seen in urinary tract infections and urethritis. Some systemic diseases (liver failure, heart diseases, severe kidney diseases) may also cause premature ejaculation. Endocrinopathies (especially thyroid, prolactin and testosterone hormone disorders) can cause premature ejaculation. Low magnesium and high calcium can also cause premature ejaculation.

Due to physical injuries: Injury to the neurological system in the sexual areas after trauma injury to the lumbar region, spinal cord (T12-L1 level), paraplegia, penis injury, pelvic region injuries or surgery, and ejaculation control may be reduced or lost.

Due to relationship stress: Emotional conflicts in the relationship, hypersensitivity to the partner, misunderstandings, a response to deception can also lead to premature ejaculation. Premature ejaculation due to relationship problems is usually acquired later.

Depends on medications: Sudden discontinuation of medications used in psychiatric diseases, intensive use of cold and flu medications and the use of some allergy medications can stimulate the sympathetic system and cause premature ejaculation.

Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence, which has four forms: urge, stress, mixed and overflow incontinence, is a problem that is more common in women than men and is frequently encountered and seriously affects the social life and quality of life of individuals due to inadequate bladder control. In many patients, it is possible to get good results after simple lifestyle changes and simple drug treatments.

Some causes of urinary incontinence include aging, menopause, giving birth, diabetes, obesity, genetic and systemic diseases, while alcohol consumption, excessive fluid intake, diuretic drugs, various other medications, urinary tract infections and constipation can increase the symptoms of an already existing problem or cause temporary incontinence in otherwise healthy people.

In the diagnosis of urinary incontinence, it is very important to take a detailed health history (anamnesis) to determine the type and severity of incontinence. After the medical history, a physical examination is performed, which is essential in the diagnosis of incontinence.

The patient is also asked for a 24-hour history of urination. In this form, in addition to daily fluid intake, questions about the frequency of urination and the amount of urine are answered. This history helps the physician in diagnosis and treatment. Other necessary tests include a urine test, measurement of the amount remaining in the bladder after urination (PVR) and urodynamic tests. Treatment of urinary incontinence is planned according to the type and severity of the problem. Conservative treatment, various medications and surgical treatments should be individualized according to the patient’s medical needs.

Conservative Treatments

The aim is to strengthen the bladder muscles and the pelvic floor muscles that hold the bladder. Conservative treatment options include bladder exercises based on delaying urination by holding in urine for a while, training the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises, electrical stimulation with anal and vaginal electrodes, estrogen-containing drugs to increase blood circulation, and anticholinergic and/or tricyclic antidepressants to increase bladder capacity.

Surgical Treatment

Surgical treatment is especially preferred in cases of stress incontinence. Surgery can be performed in the abdomen, either open surgery, laparoscopically or vaginally. The most commonly used options include ‘sling’ operations and synthetic grafts, which have been developed with advances in surgical techniques. These methods are now mostly used to treat stress and mixed incontinence. The common point of sling operations is the creation of a pelvic sling to enter under the urethra or bladder neck, which allows the bladder neck to and support of the urinary tract (TVT, TOT, Mini-Suspension). The patient can be discharged the day after the operation and can return to their daily routine as soon as possible. The popularly preferred TOT (transobturator tape) operation is performed vaginally under the urethra through a 1-2 cm long section and has a success rate of over 90%. Other surgical operations include MMK, Burch-Marshall Marchetti Krans or Burch operations can be done laparoscopically.

Erectile Dysfunction Treatment

Male sexual dysfunction can be defined as the inability of the penis to achieve or maintain an erection. Erectile dysfunction can lead to conditions such as inability to have sexual intercourse in the later stages. Before this problem, commonly known as impotence, can be officially diagnosed, the problem must have been experienced for at least six months, during sexual intercourse or masturbation. In some cases, the source of the problem may be psychological. Some men may feel debilitated by their partner. This is a source of anxiety for many men. In other cases, the problem may be physiological or both physiological and psychological. It usually occurs in men over the age of 40. Before this age, age, diabetes, prostate problems, heart disease, chronic alcoholism, excessive smoking, substance abuse, thyroid gland diseases or hormonal disorders, neurological diseases, high blood pressure and some medications can also cause this problem.

A man who cannot perform sexually feels inadequate and experiences anxiety. In this case, couples are provided with sexual therapy. If the condition is physiological, medication is prescribed by a specialist physician. Usually the problem is solved with the use of such medication. If the medication is combined with sexual therapy, the results are more effective and achieved in a shorter time. In more advanced stages of the problem, the medication is injected into the penis. In some cases, medicines can be injected into the urinary tract. Penile prostheses are also used in these treatments if necessary.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

The prostate is a gland in the urethra of men that looks like a chestnut. As men get older, the prostate becomes larger and can block the urethra. This causes symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia. Common diseases of the prostate include inflammation of the prostate, prostatic hyperplasia (benign prostatic hyperplasia / BPH) and prostate cancer. If necessary, blood tests and prostate needle biopsy are performed for prostatic hyperplasia, which is thought to be benign after prostate examination, and medication or surgery is planned for the patient depending on the severity of the symptoms. Finger palpation, plasma PSA assay, urinary ultrasonography, urine flow rate measurement, prostate biopsy and cytoscopy can be used in the testing and diagnosis.

BPH symptoms are divided into obsstructive and irritative. Obstructive symptoms include decreased urination, intermittent urination, bifurcation of urine and inability to empty the urine completely, while irritative symptoms include sudden and severe urge to urinate, frequent urination and nighttime urination. These symptoms can occur at any stage. If the patient is left untreated, the bladder and kidneys are affected. Stone formation, bladder diverticulitis, dilatation, urinary tract infections and acute pyelonephritis may develop.

Medical Monitoring

In cases where the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia are mild, medical monitoring is a good option for patients who prefer to wait until symptoms are more pronounced. Preventive measures can be taken. These measures include regulating eating habits, reducing alcohol consumption, preventing constipation, regular sexual activity, avoiding sitting for long periods of time and reducing the amount of water drunk before going to sleep.

Medication Therapy

Medication for this condition may include drugs that relax the urinary tract or bladder neck, drugs that slow prostatic hyperplasia, drugs that slow the buildup of blood through hormonal blockade, and herbal remedies that have these effects. Treatment includes alpha-blockers and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, which reduce the size of the prostate by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Alpha-blockers inhibit the growth of smooth muscle cells in the prostate stroma and bladder neck. reduces resistance to flow by preventing contraction. Side effects of these drugs vary depending on dosage but include hypotension, dizziness, fatigue, delayed ejaculation, runny nose and headache. These side effects are reduced with drugs specific for alpha-1a receptors. In the method called phytotherapy, drugs prepared from herbal extracts are also used in the treatment of BPH.

The mechanisms of action of these phytotherapeutic agents are not fully understood and their safety or efficacy has not been tested in multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.

Surgical Treatment

Surgical treatment is performed when the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia are severe, medication is not sufficient, blood in the urine, inflammation of the urinary tract (cystitis, inflammation of the prostate), stones in the kidney, complete cessation of urine flow (when a catheter is needed) and kidney failure develops.

Surgical options include transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) performed laparoscopically using bipolar energy, plasmokinetic energy or unipolar energy, open prostatectomy in patients with an enlarged prostate (over 100-150 grams), transurethral prostate incision with electrocautery and laser prostatectomy in patients with mild or moderate symptoms.

After the age of 50 (after the age of 40 if relatives have a history of prostate cancer), we advise our patients to visit their doctors for regular PSA tests and urology follow-ups in order not to miss an underlying prostate cancer. With today’s advanced technology, both BPH and prostate cancer can be treated rapidly.

Varicocele Treatment

Varicocele is defined as an abnormal enlargement, folding or varicose veins that carry venous blood from the testicles. This enlargement can start at a young age and progress due to the effect of gravity. Varicocele is the most common and treatable cause of male infertility. It can be asymptomatic (asymptomatic). Over time, it can cause swelling of the scrotum, pain in the groin and disturbances in sperm count and activity. Varicoceles typically occur in 15-20% of men after puberty and 40-50% of men with varicoceles experience infertility. Although it is not known exactly how a varicocele causes infertility, there are some theories on the subject. Venous blood accumulating in varicose veins causes heat build-up and increased pressure in the testicles. Reduced oxygen supply and accumulation of various metabolites in the kidneys and adrenal glands can affect sperm production. As a result, sperm counts and activity decrease.

The condition is diagnosed by physical examination (palpation) and confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography.

Varicocele is treated with a surgical operation called varicocelectomy, which usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. However, not all patients with varicocele problems can be operated on. Therefore, varicocelectomy should be performed by doctors who are experts in this field, on the right patient, at the right time and using the right technique. There is no recurrence after a successful surgery.

Male Infertility

If pregnancy does not occur after a year of regular sexual intercourse and no contraception, infertility may be the cause. Unfortunately, in some societies, women are the first to be blamed for infertility. In fact, 40% of infertility is caused by men, 40% by women, 10% by both men and women and 10% is idiopathic (unknown causes). In couples who are having difficulty conceiving, the diagnostic process should start with the man, because male infertility can be detected much earlier and more easily with a simple sperm test.

Some causes of male infertility are varicoceles, sperm disorders, hormonal causes, immunological causes, blockage of ejaculation ducts, delayed ejaculation, genetics, testicles that have not fallen into place, erectile dysfunction, long-term drug use, excessive alcohol consumption and/or smoking and systemic diseases. The male patient is examined by a urologist. During this examination, the patient’s general health status, habits (alcohol, smoking, etc.), frequency of sexual intercourse, physiological functions such as erection and ejaculation are questioned. After 3-4 days of complete abstinence from sexual intercourse, fertility is examined with a sperm test. If any problems are detected in the sperm test, further tests are requested.

Male infertility treatment is carried out with customized methods depending on the causes such as varicocele or low or zero sperm count. In some advanced cases, treatment may not be possible.

In addition to medication and surgery, treatment options may include intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Genital Wart Treatment

Genital warts (condylomas) are a symptom of a viral disease caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) that develops on the genitals of both men and women. These warts look like cauliflower and come in a wide variety of shapes. The condition affects 1% of the US population and typically occurs between the ages of 20 and 30. Genital warts diagnosed in men are a public health concern and should be treated.

Vaginismus Treatment

Vaginismus is a disease. The reason we give this message is that there are misconceptions, simple reservations and a general awkwardness among the public about vaginismus. In these cases, when the penis is about to enter the vagina, the vagina involuntarily contracts and closes itself, not allowing the penis to enter. Forcing the penis partially or completely into the vagina can cause severe pain, burning, stinging and aching sensations, so it is important not to force sexual intercourse in such cases. Some women may experience intense panic, fear, difficulty breathing or panic attacks when the penis approaches the vagina.

Some people cannot bear to touch or even look at their vagina. In some cases, the problem is not only with the penetration of the penis, but also with the insertion of suppositories, tampons or even the woman’s own finger used for medical reasons. In addition to sexual discouragement and reluctance to try sex, there can also be fear of gynecological examinations and the inability to perform a vaginal ultrasound or smear test for examination purposes. In extreme cases, contractions may occur in the buttocks, back, shoulders, lower back and legs. In the treatment of vaginismus, psychosexual therapy, relaxation techniques including mindfulness technique, breathing and light touch exercises, pelvic floor exercises to take control of the vaginal muscles, sensory focus method to increase sexual desire and help the person relax, and/or vaginal training devices in different sizes and in the form of tampons to help the woman get more and more used to having something in her vagina.
