“In every society, adolescents and young men have a thing about their penis”

Danlop says he has personally operated on about 90 men suffering from serious side effects from the penis enlargement treatments.
“The bulk of them have abnormal, lumpy masses growing over the penis and sometimes involving the scrotum. A good number are coming in with ulcers; they eventually burst open,” said Danlop.
“Some of them have difficulty urinating because the foreskin is so swollen it cannot contract.”
Danlop says that in nearly all cases, they regret having had the procedures done. The people responsible tend to be male nurses earning a bit of extra money on top of there normal jobs.
He says that, when he sees people every day with terrible conditions such as cancer that need urgent treatment, he is frustrated to have to deal with what he sees as ‘self inflicted’ problems.
Danlop is working with other doctors in Papua New Guinea to determine why the penis enlargement craze has suddenly sprung up, and whether pornography might be at the root of it.
Glen Mola, a professor of reproductive health, obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Papua New Guinea, said lots of men are being “conned” into the practice.
He said: “I don’t think it’s particularly a [Papua New Guinea] thing.
“In every society, adolescents and young men have a thing about their penis.”
