The present cross-sectional study sought to evaluate the Paediatric Penile Perception Score (PPPS) as a tool to assess parental perception of hypospadias repair in children. In all, 60 patients were enrolled in the study with median age of 3.9 years; of these 24 (40%) had proximal hypospadias and 36 (60%) had distal hypospadias. After hypospadias repair, parents/guardians were interviewed about meatus, glans, skin, and general appearance using a standardised questionnaire to report penile appearance and penile perception. Overall, the median PPPS score was 17 (IQR: 16-18) with no significant difference in the penile perception score between the type of hypospadias, relationship of the person interviewed with the child (mother, father or other), nor the children's age. The study revealed that penile perception score (PPPS) is a valuable tool that can be used to assess parental penile perception regarding the child's penile appearance and noted overall high satisfaction after hypospadias repair.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection and plays a significant role in cervical, penile, anal, vaginal, vulvar, and oropharyngeal cancers as well as non-cancerous genital warts and genital dysplasia. In the United States, there are approximately 46,000 new HPV-related cancers a year. There is an effective vaccine to prevent over 90% of these cancers and other HPV-related diseases; however, those that are aged 18-26 have the lowest vaccine rates among eligible age groups.

In recent decades, the assessment of male sexual function has been a subject of enduring interest. The use of the RigiScan®, a conventional diagnostic tool designed to differentiate between psychological and organic causes of erectile dysfunction (ED), has decreased due to several disadvantages.

Article Synopsis
- The penis is a significant symbol of identity and masculinity for Western men, and its loss can lead to serious psychological and social issues.
- Penile cancer, although rare, often results in penectomy (removal of the penis), which deeply affects survivors, leading to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and a distorted sense of masculinity.
- New masculinities theory suggests a need to redefine masculinity beyond physical attributes, offering potential psychological support and improving the quality of life for those affected by penile cancer.
