{A teenager has undergone what surgeons claim is the world’s first penis reduction surgery.}<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old’s flaccid manhood measured seven inches in length but had a circumference of 10 inches – which is about the size of a grapefruit, UK\u2019s daily mirror reported Thursday.<\/p>\n
Before the life-changing operation, surgeons said it was shaped like a ‘rugby ball’ and restricted his ability to play sports or have sex.<\/p>\n
Doctors in the US also said it was the first time they had heard a man ask “Can you make my penis smaller?”<\/p>\n
Rafael Carrion, a urologist at the University of South Florida, told MailOnline: “There comes a time in every urologist’s career that a patient makes a request so rare and impossible to comprehend that all training breaks down and leaves the physician speechless.<\/p>\n
“That question was ‘can you make my penis smaller?'”
\n The teen told doctors he would spontaneously get erections because the shape of it restricted the natural blood flow.<\/p>\n
He said he was unable to play any competitive sports, have sex and had difficulty wearing pants because of his ‘large and heavy phallus’.<\/p>\n
The shape of it meant it was easily visible underneath clothing.<\/p>\n
Surgeons developed a new technique normally used to cut scar tissue from the penis by slicing alongside an old circumcision scar and cut out two segments of tissue from either side.<\/p>\n
Dr Carrion said: “It was a bit like having two side tummy-tucks – that’s how we explained it to him.”<\/p>\n
Thankfully the operation was a complete success and the teenager was ‘ecstatic’ with the results.<\/p>\n
The study appeared in the Journal of Sexual Medicine and surgeons claimed it was the world’s first.<\/p>\n
Dr Carrion added: “It looks cosmetically appealing, and he said it was a life-changing event, he’s all smiles.”<\/p>\n
