More gay men enlarge their genitals with injections. Experts say body image pressure plays a big role.

In gay culture, size traditionally matters. Many men feel insecure about their bodies. This leads to interest in cosmetic procedures.

Doctors warn about risks. Injections can cause infections. Permanent damage cases have also been reported.

Experts say: healthy acceptance is better than surgery. Much insecurity comes from unrealistic nightlife expectations.

The medical sector sees rising demand. Some clinics now offer specific treatments for gay men. They say they handle this sensitive topic carefully.
