Abstract

Abstract: ln the history of human kind the size of penis has been considered as a symbol of power and of manhood. ln the sixties pediatric surgeons when operating children having micropenes or having congenital malformations, they gave basis to the spread of treatments for pathologies or traumatisms shortening or reducing penis, or treatments for normal individuals who wanted lengthening or enlargement of their penes. The latter provoked controversy exasperated by contrary or favorable opinions. ln this work we exposed the anxieties of those who wanted such treatments and possible solutions for them. We reviewed the opinion of renowned specialists who were against or in favor of these procedures. We know this is not a final chapter in medicine but the beginning of a more including discussion instead so that the professionals in the area of human sexuality at least can guide those patients who feel their lives are limited because of their anxieties.
