MINI POLL

I have kept the MINI POLL http://www.yananow.net/MiniPoll2.htm

open for a while longer for men who have had surgery or are thinking about

it. The poll concerns the ‘minor side effects of surgery – Climacturia,

Peyronies and loss of size - and what men who chose surgery knew about these. The

answers so far show that very few men were told about them, many men suffer from

them, but the large majority would have chosen surgery even if they knew about

these side effects
