EXCERPT: . . . Such a huge jump in penis size over such a short time is obviously unnatural and could be a physical symptom of a host of problems that may plague men’s reproductive health.
It’s not clear at all what is causing this great lengthening, but scientists have a hunch that exposure to pesticides and chemicals in personal hygiene products that may be disrupting the body’s natural hormones could be to blame. The same forces may also be responsible for the decline in sperm counts and testosterone.
“These endocrine-disrupting chemicals — there are many — exist in our environment and our diet. As we change our body’s constitution that also affects our hormonal milieu. Chemical exposure has also been posited as a cause for boys and girls going into puberty earlier, which can affect genital development,” Eisenberg said.
For now, the researchers advise caution as they try to look at other patient populations to see if they — and other research groups — can replicate the findings elsewhere. There’s also the matter of women’s reproductive organs. If penises are so obviously altered by the environment, what happens to vaginas? That’s also a serious line of inquiry that the researchers are pursuing... (MORE - missing details)
