There is no standard approach to the management and follow-up of patients seeking penile enlargement procedures described in the literature, and the surgical penile enlargement methods are controversial.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The goals of this study were to assess the effect of injection penile girth enlargement on sexual relationship satisfaction, confidence, and self-esteem, and to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of this procedure for the management of men with small penis syndrome (SPS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a single-center, clinical case series study executed from January 2019 to February 2021, which involved 148 men who were unsatisfied with the shape of their normal-size penises and requested penis girth correction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 132 patients completed full treatment and follow-up.

Mean scores increased by 17.9 \u00b1 3.04 points for sexual relationship satisfaction and by 12.2 \u00b1 3.17 points for confidence. The mean score for self-esteem increased by 8 \u00b1 2.8 and by 4.3 \u00b1 0.97 points for overall relationship satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Penile enlargement with hyaluronic acid injection positively affects sexual relationship satisfaction, confidence, and self-esteem of men with SPS.
