I posted this in another section but noticed very few viewed it.
For those who have seen it, bear w/me, for those who haven't PLEASE check out:
www.mayoclinic.com
And enter:" Penis enlargement" in the search box
For those of you who don't know The Mayo Clinic is one of the most prestigious medical centers in the country...now w/3 locations. People travel to Mayo from all over the world seeking care.
They are one of the FIRST to make a statement of any sort on the subject of cosmetic phalloplasty-One that is worth reading-especially the newbies!
This is good news b/c it means phalloplasty it JUST STARTING to be discussed by REAL medical authorities. You may/may not like what they have to say, but that's besides the point.
Until now phalloplasty was not something the medical community even bothered to discuss, you all know that, but I feel other important medical institutions will start to follow and this may lead to organized research which is where the real strides are made-if infact there are any to be made.
As I've said a long time ago, we need more competent doctors in this field and less "entrepreneurs".
For those who've suffered a "phalloplasty gone wrong", this is w/out a doubt, one of the most traumatic events that a man could possibly experience. Mayo's Dept of Urology MAY be an excellent place to seek treatment to repair/restore function, to the extent possible, both physically and emotionally-there are some excellent doctors (real doctors) at Mayo.
Admin: If you need to move this do so, but I hope it gets some play first.
In my opinion this forum has an opportunity to distinguish itself from some of the garbage sites that are out there by offering info such as the notice about Mayo.
I believe those of us, (all of us) who have some experience w/phalloplasty have a responsibility to yes, have candid discussions re:cosmetic phalloplasty but also offer insights to newbies and direction to those who've had problems. I think this can best be achieved by addressing our issues (pre and post op) to The medical establishment...leading institutions for Medicine. On that note perhaps afew of us can chat via pm and discuss reaching out to some of these institutions for additional statements on the topic.
Cosmetic phalloplasty has been in the shadows too long and for this reason there is SO much quackery! The more we bring this issue to the attention of experts....Yale, Harvard, Mayo- the sooner I believe, the profession will recognize/realize the need for research and attention to mens health.
Until then, we are left w/the task of sorting through the various bad options, performed by some of todays worst doctors. A task that is nearly impossible w/out a medical background.
I also think that this site should further distinguish itself by NOT being so QUICK to embrace ANY of the latest methods of cosmetic phalloplasty whether performed using a scalpul or syringe. The PMMA discussion reached near hysteria for Gods sake.
Some of us have been lucky, some very unlucky. The dangers are real, significant, underestimated by those performing these procedures and as a result perhaps not taken seriously enough by most, at least in my opinion.
