Patient discussion about enlargement.

Q. is it possible to enlarge my penis?

A. Yes, you can have surgery performed. There is also a surgery you can have performed that makes it "appear" larger when flacid, but does not really make you larger.

Q. Why does Aortic stenosis causes an enlarged heart? My father was recently diagnosed as suffering from enlarged heart due to his Aortic stenosis. what is the connection between those to conditions? As far as I understand that aortic stenosis mean that the aortic valve is too small not too large...

A. The connection between those pathologies is mainly mechanical. because your father's valve is smaller, less amount of blood can be ejected in every heart bit. because of that the heart is working harder. the heart is a muscle and like other muscles in our body when it "works out" it gets bigger

Q. I understtod that massive beer drinking can lead to heart enlargemt is it true? how much beer is ok to drink? I am a 22 years old collage student. we drink a lot of beer every weekend and someone said it can lead to vitamin deficiency and to an enlarged heart. how can i know if i drink too much beer? is there any thing i can do to decrease my chance for enlarged heart?

A. Drinking beer can lead to many consequences like hypertension problems with the blood lipids and to Dilated cardiomyopathy - an enlarged heart. its hard to say how much is OK to drink, but drinking 1 can every day can lead to this situation.
If you feel you drink to much, go to your physician and he will refer you to the closest AA group.
