Penis reduction

Sometimes, people are born with a penis that is too big for them or they might have had an accident or an illness that makes their penis too big or causes it to grow too much. In these cases, doctors may recommend a surgery called a penis reduction.

During the surgery, the doctor will carefully cut away some of the tissue in the penis to make it smaller. They will make sure that the penis still works properly and is healthy after the surgery. It might take some time to heal after the surgery and there might be some pain and discomfort, but the doctor will give medicine to help with that.

Once the person's penis has healed, it should be smaller and easier for them to manage. They might feel more comfortable with a smaller penis or be able to better enjoy their everyday life without the discomfort that a large penis might cause them.
