음경 크기와 전립선 크기와의 상관 관계

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical correlation between penile size and prostatic volume. Materials and Methods: A total of 196 men were included in this study, 96 patients diagnosed as benign prostataic hyperpalsia(BPH, mean age: 67.2±18.8) by transurethral ultrasonography(TRUS), and 100 healthy volunteers(mean age: 48±16.2). The stretched penile length and penile circumference were measured by one examiner. We compared penile size with prostatic volume. BPH patients were classified as group I(30～39 ml), group II(40～49 ml) and group III(above 50 ml) by prostatic volume. Results: For penile length and penile circumference, the mean values were 12.3±2.0 cm and 9.1±1.1 cm in group I, 12.6±2.2 cm and 9.2±1.0 cm in group II, 13.9±2.7 cm and 9.8±1.2 cm in group III, and 12.3±1.3 cm and 9.0±1.2 cm in control group, respectively. Compared to the control group, penile size was significantly higher in group III(p＜0.05). Conclusions: Larger prostatic volume, especially above 50 ml, is associated with a significant increase in penile size. KCI Citation Count: 0
