Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of physical intervention combined with medical nutritional weight loss(PI+MNWL)in the treatment of short penis in obese children.Methods:One hundred and twenty obese children with a short pe-nis were included and equally divided into three groups:PI+MNWL,MNWL,and self-guided diet,who underwent PI+MNWL,MN-WL intervention under the supervision of professional nutritionists in the hospital,or self-guided diet intervention at home,respective-ly,all for 30 days.We measured the penile parameters,including stretched penile length(SPL),flaccid penile length(FPL)and pe-nile diameter(PD),of the children before and after treatment,and compared them among the three groups.Results:After inter-vention,the body weight of the children was significantly decreased in all the three groups(27.1-94.1[53.59±11.88]kg vs 23.0-85.1[49.01±11.61]kg,P＜0.05).The weight of children in 3 groups decreased to different degrees,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).MNWL was found remarkably more effective than self-guided weight loss in reducing the body weight of the children(P＜0.05).Based on weight loss achieved through medical nutrition combined with physical intervention,the FPL in the PI+MNWL group increased from(1.93±0.76)cm before treatment to(3.41±1.41)cm after one course of compre-hensive treatment,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Similarly,SPL increased from(3.75±0.76)cm before treatment to(4.98±0.64)cm,and PD increased from(1.32±0.21)cm before treatment to(1.61±0.66)cm,both showing statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).In the MNWL group,FPL increased from(2.01±0.81)cm to(2.77±0.84)cm after one course of treatment,with a statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).Additionally,SPL increased from(4.03±0.84)cm before treatment to(4.40±0.76)cm,also demonstrating statistical significance(P＜0.05),while PD increased from(1.37±0.21)cm before treatment to(1.42±0.22)cm,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).FPL and SPL increased sig-nificantly in the PI+MNWL group compared to the MNWL group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).However,there was no significant differ-ence in PD between the two groups following the intervention(P＞0.05).Conclusion:MNWL is more effective than self-guided diet in controlling the body weight of children,while the combination approach of PI+MNWL is even superior to the management of short penis in obese children,with the advantages of improving the appearance and increasing the exposed length of the penis.
